  • Help

    Help

    We are currently welcoming volunteers to assist us with some of our rural public schools that are in need of help with the teaching of the English language. Our foreign volunteers will be sent to these schools to assist the Thai English teachers in their classrooms which can make a much needed positive impact on the lives of the students and their families. We invite you to come teach Basic English to our students in our schools located in small villages in the countryside. You do not need to speak Thai. We are looking for English speakers to help our students to learn English basic conversation and verbal communication. Volunteers will interact with students alone while the local teacher will be with you in the classroom in case you need any assistance. Prior teaching experience is a plus! This is a great opportunity for you to learn about Thai culture and language!

    School 1:

    We are a beautiful primary school, teaching 350 students from kindergarten to grade 6. Our school is located in a countryside village near to the famous Phayao Lake and 15 Km from downtown Phayao city with a mini mall, local markets, street food, tourist places, public parks, gyms, restaurants, the lake boardwalk etc. All the teachers and students at our school are lovely and very friendly. We are all excited to meet foreign volunteers and learn all about their culture and share ours with them.

    School 2:

    We are a a big high-school that has been a trusted educational institution for many generations, currently teaching 2,675 students from Grade 7 to 12. The school is located in Chiang Kham, one of the coziest countryside districts in Phayao province. The school is near one of the most famous unseen landmarks of Phayao, Wat Nantaram (Nantaram temple) which holds many important artifacts and ancient knowledge. We are also close to the Thai Lue House in Ban That and the skywalk bridge in Ban Mang. The Phusang waterfall, one of the greatest national parks in this city is also about 22 kilometers away. We can't wait to meet you and have you take part in our vibrant school community!
