Teach Travel Asia Adventures

Teaching and learning abroad is truly an Adventure of a lifetime! Teach Travel Asia prepares clients for exciting employment and life experiences through our training and placement programs in a number of countries around the world.

We call these programs “Adventures” because we know from personal experience that there is no better way to describe them. Each Adventure is unique.

In Thailand, your Adventure may include learning Thai kickboxing, teaching monks English in mountain-top temple, running an English camp for disadvantaged kids on a white sand beach, or soaking up the thousand year-old ruins of an ancient capital. The experience will greatly expand your perspective and the local and international friendships you form will last a lifetime. Similar opportunities await you in any of our other Adventure programs.

Please review our program information and contact our agents today to learn more about Teach Travel Asia’s Adventures.

Thailand

Thailand is known for its wide diversity of cultures and traditions, rich history, beautiful beaches, tropical mountains, and renowned hospitality. What many people don’t often realize is that Thailand is also a very modern country, with some of the best hotels, hospitals, transportation infrastructure and shopping in the world. It is fascinating place where you often see the modern and ancient side by side in stark contrast. Whether you enjoy culture, history of the laid-back beach lifestyle, Thailand has it all.

The salaries for English teachers are quite high and the standards are not overly rigorous. Clients without a college degree are accepted but they must possess a TESOL certificate.
