The tables have turned for NES teachers!

Postbox letter from Brendan

For those of you that are NES teachers, the time is now for you to make the change and improve your lot.

Find your niche

Postbox letter from Reece

Rich Thai families were all but fighting over my time and I made well over 100,000 working just four days a week.

Another happy online teacher

Postbox letter from Simon

Study the market and check out the options out there. There's no reason for good teachers here to still be making crappy 35-40,000 salaries.

How can I make it in the madness?

The harsh reality of teaching in Thailand

It's depressing just how many people come here to teach and leave with lots of resentment and bitterness. Or worse still, remain here polluting the place with those same feelings! Don't be one of them.
