About Me

Hello to all, I'm Maverick. I have been out of the classroom environment since I left school, which is just over twenty years ago. I must confess, up until I started the grammar section, I thought a Noun was just a Noun, now I find there are all sorts. I confess that up until I enrolled on this course, someone asking me about abstract nouns would probably have been directed towards an Art Gallery :D
I have enrolled on a TEFL as I plan to work abroad and pass on my life-skills to those in life that have a desire to learn and better themselves. I don't come from an academic background, hence I need to arm myself with the skills and knowledge to allow me to teach.
I am a keen sportsman, although I don't get the chance to play as much as I'd like. I enjoy going to the Gym, OK, I have a membership - surely that counts? :D

Finding work in Thailand

Hi all I have just managed to complete 120 hours of TEFL and am hoping to increase that to 140 hours. I haven't really looked too deeply into how to find work as I've been spending most of the time I have actually passing the course.  So I guess I need someone to just help me with a brief list of things to do, or not to do, when looking to find work, good websites...

What's the best way to learn?

Hi all, have been undertaking the course for a month now and am trying to finish checkpoint three, which is proving to be mentally challanging. It's not that I can't grasp what I am being asked, it's just that I am having real concentration issues when I am trying to go through the course. I am also on section 33 on the grammar section. I generally work 10-12 hour days in a stressful environment and...

Message for you teman,


Do I Need a BA Degree to Teach In Thailand Legally?

If you asked me this question in June 2010, I would have said yes.
Ask me 2-3 years ago and I would have said no.

And now things have changed again!

Have a quick read here to see how the new regulations mean good
news for foreign teachers with or without a BA degree!
