Some of the people who have joined us have never taught before, while others have taught for years in their native countries or overseas. Some are students starting their first work following graduation, while others are seeking for a second job. Some want to do it for a year, while others have retired early but still want to do something meaningful with their lives. Our teaching staff is diverse, which we value. They all have the potential to provide a dynamic environment for young Thai learners.
