English Teacher Job Offer At Kunnatee School, On Ratchada

[kunnatee]

Hello.

My school (Kunnatee / โรงเรียนกุนนทีรุทธารามวิทยาคม) is looking to hire a foreigner to teach English to students of mathayom level. (It may be any of the 6 levels)

It is a government school situated on Ratchada road, number 199, by the metro station Huay Khwang.

The soi Ratchada 15 is the very entrance of the school.

The following is not an official message from the school but precisions that I add so that no one will waste time:

- This is an announcement for individuals, not agencies.

- You must have a Bachelor Degree.

I'm sorry about that, as a degree in quantum mechanics doesn't make you a good teacher, but the school is not willing to get through the trouble of trying to get another exemption, which may be refused anyway.

- If you show that you have what it takes, previous teaching experience may not be mandatory.

- You must apply because you want to be a teacher, not because you're trying to extend your stay by any means possible.

We're not looking for a white face to parade; we want someone who will do everything he can to help the students progress and who won't disappear in a few months.

It would also be nicer if you made efforts to get integrated rather than see yourself as an outsider.

- If you're a boy, Soi Cowboy residents, just forget about it please.

I like partying as much as anyone else, but partying and sex-tourism disguised as partying as 2 different things.

And we doubt that the later breeds teachers who have respect for their students.

- Unfortunately, you know what Thai schools have in mind when they think about foreign English teachers.

I'm afraid that those whose non-white ethnicity is too obvious don't really have a chance.

- However, many non-native accents are, in my opinion, easier to understand than, let's say, some Australian accents. (Says the French teacher)

So if you pronounce correctly, but with an accent that it easy to understand, it may work.

- If you don't speak some Thai, you should have your own technique to help the students understand you when they have no idea what you are talking about.

Even though as in every school some people will expect you to only use English, I can guarantee that this would be very ineffective as many students don't have even the most basic knowledge of English.

- The semester starts on May 14th for students and on the 1st for teachers.

- If I think of something else I'll try to add it, but as I'm not sure to be able to use the internet often this month, I may not reply in this thread.

Please contact the school directly.

The telephone number of the school is 0-2275-6661-2.

In April, many teachers will be absent. If you have trouble being understood, try to get someone from the English department or Ajan Orawan of room turakan.

More easily, you can call the head of the department of foreign languages, who will receive you nicely and speaks good English:
