About Us
Here’s the story behind TiT, testimonials from teachers and Q&As.
This company was founded by Marylina, whose journey started a few years ago when she left her 9-5 finance job in Leeds to follow her dream of exploring Southeast Asia.
Like many, she turned to agencies for help securing a teaching placement in Thailand. She chose a big-name agency, but there was a problem—none of the staff had actually done it themselves. They couldn’t truly understand the stress of moving abroad, and they didn’t provide the guidance she needed.
Still, Marylina made the move. She taught for a semester in Thailand, then secured another job by building connections with local agencies and schools. After that, she spent a semester teaching in Vietnam before transitioning to online teaching while traveling through Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Laos.
When she finally returned home, all she wanted to do was shout:
“It was the best experience of my life! You need to go and do it now!”
But as she shared her story, she realized how much of the hassle she faced could have been avoided with the right support.
That’s why she started this company—to make sure as many people as possible get to experience Thailand without the unnecessary stress. With her firsthand experience and strong connections, she ensures a smooth, hassle-free process, answers all the questions, and provides the support she wished she had.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a TEFL certification necessary to teach in Thailand?
Yes! 90% of schools and placement programs in Thailand require a TEFL certification. Having a TEFL not only gives you more opportunities and access to higher-paying jobs, but it also allows you to teach online or secure placements in other countries. It’s definitely worth it!
What is the average salary for English teachers in Thailand?
Government schools offer salaries ranging from 30,000 to 40,000 THB per month (£650–£870) and provide the majority of teaching placements.
What are the working hours and conditions for teachers in Thailand?
Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM, 20–25 teaching hours/week. The rest of the hours are spent completing your admin work and preparing for classes so you do not have to take any work at home.
Do I need to be a native English speaker to teach in Thailand?
No, but native speakers (from the USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa) have an advantage. Non-native speakers can still get hired if they have a strong English proficiency, a TEFL certificate, and a degree.
What are the visa requirements for teaching English in Thailand?
Teachers need a Non-Immigrant B Visa (£60 for UK passport holders) before entering Thailand – we will share further information during our process. Once hired, schools help process a work permit. Required documents include:
A medical certificate (sometimes required), a passport with at least six months’ validity, a degree certificate (original and notarized), a police clearance certificate.
What is the typical contract length for teaching positions in Thailand?
6-12 months for Government schools, 2+ years for International schools
