Beware of several websites that are copying job ads ('stealing' is actually the correct word) from Ajarn dot com. We only post job ads that are sent DIRECTLY to us. After job ads have gone live, employers will sometimes contact us to make changes to a job description (perhaps it's a change of salary or working hours or teacher requirements) but those changes will NOT be made by the website copying the ad. 

Trust the info, trust Ajarn!
