Winning over Thai admin staff

Postbox letter from Steve

Starting as a foreign English teacher in Thailand can be both exciting but dealing with school admin staff can be a challenge if you don’t approach it the right way. The key? Be patient, be polite, and never underestimate the power of a smile.


Is TEFL management the right choice?

What exactly would I be giving up if I became a manager?

Something I love about TEFL work is that as soon as I walk out of the door each day, I don’t have to think about my job. That’s certainly not true as a manager.
