What we are looking for:
We are looking for professional, fun, energetic and open-minded teachers that can work as a team. We need you to be able to commit to at least one year (hopefully you will love it as much as many of our other teachers and stay for more!)
We offer great benefits with our teaching programs and this can be supported by the number of teachers who have been with us for years. We retain a high percentage of teachers every year which is proof of our stable and rewarding employment. We offer the highest pay scales in NST along with some pretty great additional bonuses such as airfare, attendance bonuses, end of contract bonuses, health and accident insurance, teacher assistance, school lunches & more to keep our NES teachers content and motivated!

[expander_maker more=”Read more” less=”Read less”] who possess a love of children, an outgoing personality, a willingness to sing and dance,
some early-years experience, team-working skills (with Thai and Native Speakers), creativity and dedication.
Our kindergarten teachers work with children aged between two and six, planning and carrying out activities in line with our Learning Criteria.

At kindergarten, our focus is on promoting the optimal development of our students in every way. It is our goal to instill a positive attitude to learning and provide a safe, secure environment in which to learn. We also build and maintain good relationships with parents and guardians to further support our students.
Responsibilities include:
- Teaching for a maximum of eighteen 30minute lessons per week (a total of nine hours);

- Observing, assessing and recording each child’s progress, with twice yearly exams and reports;

Primary English Program
Candidates for the primary program must be patient, kind…
[expander_maker more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]and have a love of learning. The Primary Program (Prathom) consists of grades 1-6. This program forms the basisof the original English Programme and is consistently producing the Top Ranked students in our area. We were the first school in the area to operate an English Program for primary students and we feel the graduates speak for themselves (in English!). The primary classes are capped at 30 students with each class having a Thai and Native Speaking homeroom teacher. Primary periods run for 50 minutes each and the class day has a morning, lunch and afternoon break. This programme needs dedicated Education Professionals. [/expander_maker]
Secondary English Program
The Secondary Program operates differently from the Primary program. Secondary Program students come from a wide educational background including English Programmes, EIP and Thai Regular Programmes. [expander_maker more=”Read more” less=”Read less”]
This presents challenges, opportunities, creative options and active teaching styles for educators with the ability to get involved.
The ideal candidate for the Secondary Program should be dedicated to improving students of all levels as well as the existing program, be adaptable and also be pro-active with curriculum changes. They should also have experience or possess TEFL training as well as a suitable background for the subjects they will teach. “Mathayom” or secondary classes are capped at 30 students per class, with several grade levels having more than one class. The periods are in 50 minute blocks with breaks throughout the day.
All NES teachers will have a “Homeroom” they will “help look after” with their Thai homeroom teacher counterpart. NES teachers are subject teachers, moving from class to class throughout the day teaching their respective subjects. Graduates in Math and Science fields are wanted for the upper secondary, but most importantly the candidates need to be open minded and ready to teach basic English.

Main Campus
About Us:
Srithammarat Suksa school is a private Christian school in Nakon Si Thammarat, Thailand. Srithammaratsuksa is a well-established school with over 5000 students in K-12. [expander_maker more=”Read more” less=”Read less”] We have one of the largest English Programs in Southern Thailand. The English Program is now in its 16th year, and continuing to grow and improve in size, quality and reputation. We currently have about 45 Foreign teachers from the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Our English Programme classes are limited to 30 students. We work in a friendly and supportive environment on a beautiful tree-lined campus adjacent to a large city park. Read more
Our city, Nakon Si Thammarat, is an ancient trading capital with many modern/western conveniences: Internet, satellite TV, pizza, fast food, malls, super stores… you name it. Renting a house can be done for about 10-15% of monthly salary, leaving plenty to experience local culture in our medium-sized, NON-touristic Thai city. Beaches, mountains, caves and waterfalls are within a short drive, and the famous tourist meccas of Ko Samui, Ko Pa Ngan, Krabi and Phuket are a short drive away. However the town still has the “small town vibe” and is very much “real Thailand”. For more information on Nakon Si Thammarat, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
