Arriving in Thailand, I was a bundle of nerves, unsure if I'd made the right choice. But The Fewer Things team made every step feel manageable. From airport pickup to settling into my apartment, someone was always there. Now, months in, I feel like I belong. Teaching has given me confidence I never knew I had, and the ...
RecommendsI was working a job I hated back home and needed a change. TFT made the transition to teaching in Thailand seamless. The TEFL course was straightforward, and the in-country support was incredible. I've seen parts of Thailand most tourists never reach, and I'm earning enough to live comfortably and travel on weekends.
RecommendsThe Fewer Things gave me the opportunity to teach in Thailand, and it has been life-changing. The students are eager and wonderful, the culture is warm and welcoming, and the country is beautiful. The support from the TFT team was fantastic from start to finish. I can't recommend this programme enough.
RecommendsI had the most incredible experience teaching in Thailand with The Fewer Things. The programme is well-structured, the support is top-notch, and the country is breathtaking. From the bustling streets of Bangkok to the serene temples of Chiang Mai, every moment was special. The friendships I made and the memories I crea...
RecommendsI have loved almost everything about my experience in Thailand. The only thing I don't like is how humid it gets here! Because you're washing your clothes outside, they take forever to dry! Otherwise, I have made some incredible friends through TFT. Even after you touch down, the organization will reach out to check up...
RecommendsMoving to Thailand really has been the best decision ever and I wouldn't change it for the world! I have met so many lovely people who have made my experience incredible. The chance to travel as-well as teach has been amazing and I would recommend to anyone! The schools are so welcoming and everyone is so friendly it r...
RecommendsSince first finding TFT on Instagram, they have been nothing short of amazing. TFT made it very clear that they are there to help with any issue, big or small and are always able to be contacted with any issue! From starting the process and discussing possible placement locations to arriving at my school in Nakhon Nayo...
RecommendsWhat started off as a 10 month journey is now going to be over 3 years. I started off in Guangzhou in 2023 in a private school, which really fast tracked my experience in general, as I was fairly new to teaching, the school was quite high standard. I got plenty of training so was well prepared in that sense, but it was...
RecommendsVery good program. Settled in China with ease. Really enjoying myself. The school i'm working at is full of friendly people helping you out along the way. I've met some good friends. There's a lot of opportunities to save money. Good work life balance. I had a lot of nerves coming into this job and moving abroad but ul...
RecommendsI got a job teaching and moved to China with TFT in August 2025. It has been an incredible experience so far. From the first stages of applying right to life out here, Jaemi has been here to support me the entire time. Applying to teach in China is something I have thought about doing for years. Earlier this year I tho...
RecommendsMy experience with The Fewer Things since being in China has been one of constant support! Jaemi and the team have been at the other end of the phone for me for any issue, big or small and for that I have to thank them so much! As a 21 year old post-grad who has just finished uni, I was super nervous teaching abroad as...
RecommendsI've been in China (Shanghai) a few months now, and TFT did really well in terms of finding me a good school! It's been a great experience so far, the work hours are reasonable, the work culture for the foreign language teachers are relaxed, and the school itself has been very helpful. The school coordinator will even ...
RecommendsLiving in Shenzhen, China can be described as one thing: convenient. I am amazed at the fact that I can have almost anything in the world delivered straight to my door. I joke that it's an introverts paradise, everything is done by ordering from your phone, you could actually go your whole time without talking to anyon...
RecommendsI moved to Vietnam with The Fewer Things and it was the best decision I ever made! TFT offered guidance and support from the very beginning, especially Jaemi, who was always happy to help. Initially, they helped with completing the TEFL course, legalising documents and providing guides on how to adapt to a new life abr...
RecommendsI have a degree in Linguistics, and so teaching language felt natural to me both in ability, as well as a natural pursuit of my field of study. Teaching in China has felt so much more rewarding than any job I've had before, and China truly does feel like "the place to be" right now. Chengdu is a brilliant city and the ...
