The 'right teacher' means the only teacher available

Postbox letter from Mike

Finding the right teacher is more about finding the only teacher available right now. We are romanticizing the idea that your average school or agency for the most part puts any real thought into who they employ.

Tread carefully when applying for teaching jobs

Postbox letter from Jack

While I don’t blame the schools, I would think twice before accepting a position with schools at the moment.

Getting a job interview - part 1

The pros and cons of four different approaches

I was confident that emailing my resume and following up with a phone call was the way to go. Several days later, not a single school could locate my e-mail.

Thank you for the kind words and encouragement

Postbox letter from Old Bloke, Bangkok

I know I have it easy compared to many and have little to worry about. Yes, I could go elsewhere but I have a wife/family here so not so easy. I had a great offer from China recently, but that's a no go now due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

Bitter aging one

Postbox letter from Tony Roberts

Just don't worry about age, I'm still here well past my retirement age and I love it

Pathetic reply to letter accusing Ajarn.com of being supporting ageism

Postbox letter from Lawrence Schultz

I was appalled at your reply that Ajarn would do a disservice to young teachers by refusing job ads that openly declare ageist policies in hiring.

Are the sixty and over set out of luck as far as teaching?

Postbox letter from Fred Azbell, Chonburi, Thailand

People often cite the lower cost of living, better quality of life and a more Thai-style existence as reasons to be based outside the capital.

I’ve done a little research and come up with some example salaries in different regions in Thailand. Whilst this isn’t an exact science it should give a good guide of potential earnings
