Hi Guys,

Please excuse me for merely trying to offer some first hand advice from personal experience. Although I am not fantastic on a computer I can assure you my spelling and grammar is always acceptable whilst I am teaching. You may or may not know that generally a farang teachers role is to teach what they call "conversational english". I do take my work very seriously. The company I worked for were constantly assessing myself and the other three farang teachers and we were also observed by the teachers in the school. I always received very positive feedback on my teaching methods and was asked to conduct sessions to teach the teachers at the school who wanted to improve their english. I was also happy to spend lunchtimes and time after school to help my students if they wanted me to.

Feel free to mark my post or whatever makes you feel good but like I say my only intent was to try and help someone who wants to know a bit about what the situation is like. Yes my degree is fake, but you require one to get a work permit. I also know guys teaching here with real degrees who couldnt give a rats ass about their students so I think each individual should be judged on their merits. It is not always easy to come and make it in a foreign country and I was helped immensly by other people offering advice from their experiences.

Anyway Para I will be in Patong for a while and always happy to meet someone for a beer and a chat.

Cheers!
