I am happy to say that we have now placed our first Volunteer English Teacher at Mae Salaab School, very close to Stratton House.

Chae, hails from Australia and on break from her University studies and was very keen to gain valuable experience, teaching English at a rural Thai School.

She is very enthusiastic and with her friendly, fun and dramatic methods of teaching, is already very popular with all the students.

Starting of doing 2 hours teaching Monday to Friday, Chae has now decided to commit more time and usually does 3- 4hours now.

In her first week it turned out that Mae Salaab School would be closed for 3 days, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

This was good luck for Pasak School in Banthi, Lamphun as she is now doing the 3 days there.

Next week she will resume teaching at Mae Salaab for approximately 1 month.
She has also expressed an interest in helping out with the Thai Schools English website and we hope to find time for some basic training on how to input lessons which she would then be able to do, even when she goes back home.
We hope she is just the first of many teachers that we can place in many nearby schools, all desperate for help with their English learning programs.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer teacher here in Chiang Mai please contact us to discuss the options we can offer.

It was great to see the Pasak children again, this is where I taught for nearly the full year last year. I am happy to have been able to facilitate Chaes 3 day teaching visit and hope that we can soon place a longer term volunteer here to.
