Current Testimonials from the 2024-2025 Academic Year
Leo O., Fourth-Year Teacher
I keep returning to Thidamaepra School year after year, because the atmosphere is so amazing - both physically and socially. The campus is beautiful and modern. The offices and classrooms have A/C. The free lunch is great, but also complemented well by food choices surrounding the school. The foreign and Thai teachers are consistently caring. The students are kind, respectful, and fun. This perfect storm keeps me making the 30 km commute daily for the past three years!
Dave S., Fourth-Year Teacher
Working at Thidamaepra has given me the opportunity to work at a fun job and get to know many interesting people. Teaching English is the most enjoyable job I have had and I actually look forward to work. Also, Suratthani is a great place to live. There is so much to see around Southern Thailand and Suratthani is not far from all of the best spots.
Detti K., Third-Year Teacher
Thidamaepra is the ideal school for teachers who want to grow and improve.
My Prathom 3 class is great and this year I enjoy being a homeroom teacher more than before. The assistance of the Thai co-teachers in the classroom makes work easier and it is much appreciated. At Thida, you can follow your own tailored teaching strategy, which is a big advantage. Working here is challenging and fun at the same time. There are several school events and activities throughout the semester so there is never a boring day!
Michael D., Second-Year Teacher
The staff and students at Thida school have welcomed me very warmly, ever since I started work last month. There is a nice mix of experience and enthusiasm among the staff, with lots of kind advice and tips readily available for new teachers. The management have made every effort to be understanding and helpful while settling me in to my new role, as well as telling me about the town we live in, where to go for food and places to travel to nearby. So far, my experience with Super English has been a very positive one, and with every new challenge I have faced I have received help and support.
Craig Savageau, Second-Year Teacher
Teaching at Thidamaepra School has been a very positive experience. The Thai teaching staff are incredibly helpful and always willing to assist during class. The bond created between staff and teachers ensures a well-balanced classroom environment. Each day in the classroom brings new levels of joy as my students are always greeting me with smiles and an inquisitive interest in all things around them. My fifth-grade students really shine best when I sprinkle in a few educational games to balance their curriculum.
Graham Chaikin, Second-Year Teacher
My decision to teach in Thailand was something that initially filled me with excitement, but also a fair amount of nervousness. Stepping into a new culture, a new job, and a new place can be daunting, but from the moment I arrived, those nerves were quickly eased by the warm embrace of Surat Thani and its people. One of the most comforting aspects of my transition into teaching here has been the incredible support and kindness shown by the program’s teachers. From helping me understand local customs to offering guidance on teaching techniques, the support has been unwavering. To anyone considering teaching in Surat Thani, I can wholeheartedly attest that you'll find not only a fulfilling professional experience but a great community as well.
Matt B., First-Year Teacher
The Super English team at Thidamaepra School is excellent. Everyone in management and administration has made the visa and work permit processes as quick and easy as possible. They've offered, and provided, support at every turn. The teachers are the most professional and creative I've ever encountered. The Thai co-teachers have all been very kind and helpful. The students overflow with a contagious joy! Even though I'm a foreigner, a wide Thai smile is on my face everyday!
