Time2Talk English Academy Southern Thailand.

We need full and part time English Teachers, plus 1 Chinese Teacher to start work in various locations in beautiful Southern Thailand.

Our business is growing and there are very real opportunities for career progression. If you would like an amazing one year experience, or you are ready to make a long term life changing commitment, there are real opportunities available in either management or teacher training.

Do you want to live and work near some of the most stunning parts of Southern Thailand? Are you are already in the land of smiles? Right now we are recruiting teachers to start work in Suratthani, Chumphon, Lang Suan, Sawi and Nakhon Si Thammarat in Southern Thailand, in readiness for the new school year commencing in May 2008.

Applicants must be able to arrive in Thailand during April to complete training and orientation.
We are also looking for part time teachers to start work immediately in the seaside town of Nakhon Si Thammarat.

Suratthani
We are looking for dynamic, qualified and energetic teachers to join experienced and well established team in Suratthani. The successful applicants will be teaching at one of our external schools, and in our Language Academy in the town. The successful applicants need to have high levels of energy and enthusiasm, and must be ready and able to teach at all levels. Knowledge of the TEFL methodology or other relevant ESL teaching techniques is essential. Applicants will need to be here during April to complete training and orientation.

Chumphon
We are looking for dynamic and energetic ESL professionals to join our team in Chumphon. The positions in Chumphon start in early May 2008. The successful applicants will need to be here in April in order to complete orientation training, and to get settled in. You will be working in one of two delightful schools in the town. The first is a private Catholic school with a swimming pool and gym, which is available to our teachers. You will have a teaching assistant, comfortable working conditions and a teacher’s room in which to relax and plan. In the second school you will be working in an English program with highly motivated and bright students. It is a small and friendly school with very comfortable working condition, a teacher’s room and internet access.

Lang Suan
The positions in Lang Suan require some very special individuals. If you want to work in a deeply rural location, in a traditionally Thai environment, away from the tourist traps, then Lang Suan is the place for you. You will be working in a government school teaching 7 to 11 year old children who very rarely see foreigners. Expect to get loads of positive attention at school and walking around the town. Expect to say “hello” several thousand times a day. The facilities at the school are basic, but the children will make up for the fact you won’t have air-conditioning. You will have the opportunity to make a real impact on these children; they really want to learn English. In your free time you can visit some beautiful beaches on the main land and also visit some amazing islands just off the coast of Lang Suan, including Koh Tao and Koh Samui.

Sawi
Just down the road from Lang Suan in another deeply rural location we require a very specific individual. We are looking for a British female, 30 years or over (I’m sure 28 would be OK!). You will be teaching 12 – 18 year olds the 4 skills with emphasis on speaking and listening. The school itself is in a beautiful setting, with wonderful views. You will be the only foreign teacher working in the school, so expect to get loads of positive attention. If you like the sound of this, and have all the skills and qualifications we are looking for, then please drop us a line including your resume and a recent photo.

Nakhon Si Thammarat
We are looking for part time teachers to work in our new Language Academy in the town of Nakhon Si Thammarat. If you are currently working in or near the town, and you are looking for some part time hours please contact us now.

Chinese Mandarin Teacher
We are looking for one qualified and experienced Chinese teacher to teach Chinese courses at our Head Quarters in Suratthani. The successful applicant will have a sound grasp of the English Language, and have at least one year of teaching experience. You will be working in our Language Academy in the town of Suratthani. This is an exciting opportunity; the successful applicant will be responsible for developing and managing this course from the ground up.

All applicants must hold a 4 year bachelor degree in any field. This is required to enable us to produce a work permit. The most important qualification is your teaching certificate. All applicants should have a TEFL qualification, CELTA or any other relevant ESL qualification. Please bring all original certificates with you. They are required by the Ministry of Education during the visa and work permit application process.
We offer orientation and ongoing training to all our teachers. Part of your orientation training will be observing our teachers in local schools, or in one of our Language Academies. You will also be expected to teach classes prior to starting work. These classes will be observed and reviewed.

Police check
The rules are constantly changing here in Thailand. It is now necessary to have a police check in order to obtain a work visa. Please apply for one while you are still in your home country. It is also possible to obtain this document via the internet for a minimal fee. If you are in possession of all original Degree certificates the Police Check may not be required, but it will help during the visa application process.
