If you’re a woman thinking of working in Thailand, don’t worry if things feel unfamiliar at first.

Over time, I noticed that the Thai teachers appreciated when I asked questions respectfully and showed that I wanted to learn, not just change everything.


Sharing the classroom

Let's consider some of the possible reasons why good relations in the teaching team is important.

I've come to believe that putting two teachers in the same classroom needs careful planning, and even then, the clash of egos is a minefield. It only takes one wrong step. With the cultural dimension added in, especially for a newcomer, things can become noxious frighteningly quickly.
