Open JobsAbout MediaKids Academy
MediaKids Academy is Thailand’s top English teaching placement provider. If you are looking for a unique life experience while making a difference in the lives of others, then we would love to hear from you! MediaKids has placed and supported thousands of teachers from around the world, providing teachers with the opportunity to fully immerse in the culture and become part of the local community.
Since its founding in 2001, MediaKids has grown to a team of 300 teachers per semester, representing over 70 primary and secondary schools across Thailand.
We offer the flexibility of shorter contract commitments so you can choose to either renew with us or move on to new adventures afterwards.
Whether you are a recent University graduate looking for a unique life experience or a seasoned professional, we have a position for you. No TEFL or experience? No problem! We are looking for energetic, creative, responsible and culturally sensitive teachers, with a positive attitude and the desire to develop as a teacher. MediaKids provides full training for new teachers, so even novices can feel confident and well-prepared before entering the classroom.
All our teachers are fully supported by the full-time consultant and curriculum team. These teams are dedicated to supporting you throughout your whole stay in Thailand with us; everything from visas, accommodation, Thai language translating, curriculum, and cultural support. You will receive regular visits from the MediaKids consultant team to provide you with on-going support, but they are also available via phone for you in-between visits.
Curriculum is fully provided by our in-house Curriculum Development team. So you can focus on putting your energy into the classroom and helping students to develop their English, rather than worrying about what topics to teach. Although the curriculum is provided, we offer teachers opportunity and flexibility to teach according to individual style.
Accommodation is pre-arranged before you even arrive to Thailand. So you can rest well knowing that you have a safe place to live nearby where you will be teaching. MediaKids provides 3,000 baht allowance per month towards the cost of your rent.
MediaKids is run by a combined Western and Thai team with many years' experience working in the industry. Our programs are aimed at improving the English language skills of Thai children. We run English programs for communicative development, intensive English programs, and programs that include teaching Math, Science, Computing, and Health in the English language.
Testimonials
I have worked with MediaKids for over 6 months and so far so great! The MediaKids team will be super helpful with your transition to Thailand and helping you around your new town. I thought MediaKids would only help with school stuff but they have helped me find a place to stay and helped me with my visa runs and many other things. They are awesome and a company you can trust! Being in Thailand has been amazing and working in Thailand with MediaKids is just as great!

It is a great job in a paradise, on top of that MK staff is very supportive and helpful and just really nice people! This is one of the best decisions I ever made!
LiudmilaI've loved my experience so far in Thailand with MediaKids. The supported me from my application to my arrival in Thailand - the orientation was a great way to meet people and learn more about the teaching experience. There is always a staff member ready to help you if you need it, literally about any problem you might have. I've loved my experience so far and am glad I chose such an established company to work with - especially as it is my first time teaching abroad full time.
LaurenMediaKids are the best agency to help you settle into teaching and living in Thailand. They helped me find accommodation, set up a That bank account, get my mom-immigrant visa and are available 24/7 if I need help and advise about anything. The 3 day orientation course gives you an insight into teaching and prepares you for working life. The consultants conduct classroom observations to give feedback which also helps improve your teaching. The consultants are the friendliest people and are extremely helpful and insightful! If you're teaching English abroad for the first time, looking to make new friends along the way, and want advise then choose MediaKids Academy.
HannahMediaKids Academy has made my experience in Thailand all the more amazing! What I love about them is the fact that the staff genuinely care about the wellbeing of us as teachers. They have always been there when I needed assistance. When I have questions and concerns, responses on their part have always been prompt! The staff are all extremely dependable, organized and professional. They take a lot of pride in ensuring that all teachers are happy and feel like they have steady support. I am renewing my contract with them because I trust them to be there to ensure that my teaching experience goes smoothly. MK is highly recommended!
