1
Danny Pick, one-year teacher
"After teaching for 19 years in Thailand I already know I made the right choice to join the SE team. The flexibility of being able to design your own lessons based on the curriculum has made my lessons far more enjoyable for both myself and the students."

Walker Marlatt, one-year teacher
“As a first time teacher, Thida and SE have given me the opportunity to rapidly learn best practices while developing my own style. My P5 students in MEP are wonderful to teach because I can talk to them in normal English and really feel they are learning and improving their speech, while my IEP students in P2 are a blast because we get to learn while having fun. In both cases, my coteachers are an enormous help in bridging the divide between my Thai language skills and new concepts in English that require complex explanations.”

Conor Marlatt, one-year teacher
“Thida has been an important time for me. I’ve learned so much about Thai life and culture and how much of an effect a good teacher can have on a student, no matter where they are from.”

Ben Walker, three-year teacher
"Upon approaching the end of my second year working for Super English, at Thidamaepra school, I am eager and optimistic to continue teaching in the next school year. I am optimistic because I have found the staff at Super English and Thidamaepra to be friendly and supportive, be it my co-teachers in the classroom or colleagues at the school. I also appreciate the freedom to approach the curriculum how I see fit and execute classes in my own way. Even through a very difficult time period with the pandemic, I have felt confident teaching my classes, whether they be online, hybrid, or in-person classes, because of a well-structured English program. I look forward to continuing to work for Super English in the foreseeable future."

Benjamin James, two-year teacher
"My past two years with Super English have been incredible and exceeded all expectations. I am finishing my second year at Thidamaepra, and my time here has been so much fun, both with my students and school and with the Super English community. Super English runs a very organized English program, yet also allows us freedom in our teaching styles and approaches. Many of the hassles that can come with teaching in another country have been eliminated for Super English employees, letting us experience the best of every day teaching these delightful children."

Jack Styles, two-year teacher
"Having worked at a few other schools in Thailand I have to say that the learning environment and community here at Thidamaepra are a cut above. It truly is a pleasure to come to work when your coworkers (Thai and foreign) make you laugh, your students get you thinking, and when on an any given day you may be called up to do a dance about fruits in front of the entire school. There are always surprises but everyone here helps each other succeed and we have a blast while we're at it."

William Marlow, four-year teacher
"I am currently in my fourth year as a teacher for Super English and that is testament to how much I have valued and enjoyed my time working for such a fantastic employer. Teaching at Thida school has given me the chance to do a job which I can honestly say I’ve always enjoyed immensely. To go to school every day in good spirits and looking forward to the day ahead is a very nice feeling. I enjoy every day there so much that it doesn’t feel like work at all! Working for Super English has ignited a passion for teaching inside me and as I look forward to a future in the teaching profession, I’ll always be grateful to Super for helping me realize my passion. Not only do Super English provide you with teaching opportunities, they help you transition into living in Thailand. I believe this is what separates Super English from the rest. Accommodation, relevant visa and work permits, teacher training, monthly parties and general day to day help is provided. I couldn’t ask for a more supportive and helpful employer."

Kris Reilly, two-year teacher
"Working with Super English has been exactly what I dreamed of in terms of being an ESL teacher abroad. We all want the freedom to teach, to have a stress free work environment, and time to travel. Here at Super English paperwork is minimal, supervision is rare, and the teaching is tons of fun. Loads of time off to go traveling and plenty of fun at work - that's it. Don't miss out on an opportunity to work with Super English, you won't regret it."

Allison Tidd, two-year teacher
"Staying on for another year with Super English is one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve been able to develop my teaching style freely. My Thai co-workers are always there to encourage and support me with my fresh ideas and activities. The support I have received from Super English has also been second to none. Living in the jungle, just a few minutes motorbike ride from the city has helped make this year and a half unforgettable, not to mention all the free time we’ve had to explore so much of South East Asia. Moving to Surat to teach with Super English - best decision ever!"

Alex Rhodes, two-year teacher
"After having experienced other agencies I can easily say that Super English is the perfect place to either start or continue your journey of teaching in Thailand. Super provides the tools, resources, and community you need to not only be a successful teacher, but also more easily adapt to the lifestyle of a foreigner in Thailand. Super English is the smart choice to make your big decision perfect."

Ashton Riester, two-year teacher
"Moving to Thailand to work for Super English was the best decision of my life! My last year here has been a huge learning experience, filled with lots of fun and exploration. With the Thai school year schedule and our comfortable pay, I have been able to see some of the most beautiful places on earth during my holidays! The Monday work day dread is nonexistent here; I really love coming to school every day and work with some of my best friends. Between my amazing students, teacher friends, and jungle bungalow, life is good here!"

Adeline Brown
"I would never have believed that I could possibly feel so comfortable and so at home so quickly. Having been here just over six months, I can safely say that I am in love with Thailand, teaching, and my new home in Surat Thani. My experience has been so wonderful thanks mainly to the amazing people I have the pleasure of working with. Super English is a brilliant agency to work for, and they do their utmost to help and support all their employees. Thanks Super English! "
