I am 26 and currently empolyed as a PE teacher in a Secondary School. I was just wondering if Thai Schools ever look to employ PE Teachers?

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I know that the teachers at my daughter's international school are all fully qualified, either B.ed or PGCE. If you are looking at one of these thebest place to start would probably be the website of the school you fancy. They do have vacancies sometimes- obviously to start in August. Alternatively, job/recruitment fairs or the TES would be good places to look. If it is 'Thai Thai' schools, I have no idea.

Some of the EP programs employ foreign PE teachers, but I couldn't tell you which ones. And if you are a fully licensed teacher, you'd be mad to waste your time with that if you could wait for a position to open up at the true-blue internationals.

Yes, especially the large bi-lingual and international schools.

I am the foreign PE teacher at my school and it is great. Not exams or paper work to mark! But it gets very hot outside.......................

aussiestyle1983,

As a PE teacher what sports do u teach in Thailand?

What are the facilities like?

How did u come about your position at the school? - Which school is it?

What age group do u teach?

What kind of salary r u on?

Sorry if I am asking personal questions but it is just I am very interested in looking for a position as a PE Teacher in Thailand.

U can pm me with the answers to the questions above if that is better for u.

Thanks again.

I came across the position by accident. I thought i'd be teaching English, but because im young and fit, they wanted me to teach PE. I've taught all age groups, but now I teach KG! It is fun, but if you want to get involved, it sucks to teach PE to KG.

The sports I usually teach are Football (soccer) basketball, volleyball & athletics (other branches of my school have swimming teachers as well) ! I am developing my own golf team for the higher grades as I love to play golf and I thought it would be a good expeerience for the students in the higher grades if thats what they're interested in.

Friends of mine have mentioned that Bangkok Christian College is hiring 2 PE teachers for their EIP program. (English Emersion Program). All subjects thought in English except Thai. The one friend was the teacher last year and enjoyed it though he also mentioned it gets hot! Good pay and none of the school crap that the other subject teachers are subject too. School year starts in 2 weeks.

Yes

i have been working as a P.E teacher and swimming teacher in thailand since 2003

by the way,,,,i m looking for a new job(want to relocate in bangkok or phuket) in the same field

multi sports background(volley ball,athletics,fitness,yoga.. and my speciality is Martial arts and fighting sports)
