    "Top Teachers" in Surat Thani

    Has anyone heard of a company called Top Teachers? It is apparently a non-profit organization, which sends english teachers out to a variety of schools, including Anuban Suratthani School, Darunothai Phun Phin School, NooNoiy Kindergarten, Oonrak, ext. They are all schools located in or near the town of Surat Thani. If anyone has heard about Top Teachers, I would appreciate any info. in terms of their reputation. Thanks!

    I've never heard of them, but their website makes no mention of their being non-profit.

    They sound like a small train & place outfit. The certificate they say they offer is probably not well-recognised outside Thailand. If you're interested in teaching and need to get certifified, I'd recommend one of the more well-known certificates. If you're just looking for a working holiday, consider just coming over and offering your services as an unqualified "conversation teacher." If you're female, as your name suggests (as opposed to a certain gender-confused poster from Bournemouth) you'll have no trouble finding someone to hire you.

    Looks a bit dodge and some of the info is a bit suspect.

    I've never heard of them before.


    Riddle me this brother can you handle it
    Your style to my style you can't hold a candle to it
    Equinox symmetry and the balance is right
    Smokin' and drinkin' on a Tuesday night
    It's not how you play the game it's how you win it
    I cheat and steal and sin and I'm a cynic

    Don't know about 'Top Teachers,' but I do know the bloke that runs Dialogue and also works at Oonrak. I'd be happy to recommend him, I met him when he offered my (Thai) wife an English teaching job at Oonrak. She eventually turned it down, but he has kept in touch with us and is always friendly and helpful. He showed us both around Oonrak and it really is a beautiful and well-designed school. If I ever decide to go back to teaching, I will certainly try that school first.

    Thanks to all of you for your responses. I'm glad to hear that Oonrak is a nice school, as I will be teaching there a few hours a week. The guy who runs Dialogue also runs Top Teachers. My understanding is that the job of Top Teachers is to implement the curriculum formed at Dialogue in several different public and private schools. I got the impression that it is non-profit, but I could be wrong about that.
