There are a number of projects currently requiring more English teachers to come and teach English in the Pang Nga region of Thailand. Volunteers should ideally be able commit for a minimum of 3 months and be confident in planning and delivering lessons to groups of adults and/or children. Two of the projects actively seeking English teachers are

This is a training centre for adults and, to a lesser extent children, who have been impacted by the Tsunami. Step Ahead currently run a number of courses, including Hospitality and General English classes (basic and intermediate), primarily in the centre but also in one of the local hotels that has been rebuilt since the Tsunami. Step Ahead is particularly looking for English teachers to develop the satellite teaching at local hotels and the English programme for children, as well as to strengthen the current teaching at the centre. There may also be opportunities for satellite teaching out into some of the local communities.

 

To find out more about the centre please check out the website.

This is a school that is being set up by an American Christian Organisation called Habitat to educate the many Burmese children that live in the Nam Kem area. It is very difficult for
Burmese people to live legally in Thailand, even though they form a large proportion of the construction work force here, and as a result many Burmese children are not able to attend local schools. The vision of the school is to reach out to this community through providing education for their children. The school is looking for English teachers to teach English at the school, which will initially just be for children between the ages of 6 and 12.

If you are interested in working with either of these projects, or would like more information about them, please contact me.
