Volunteering as an English teacher was such a fulfilling experience. I got to connect with amazing students, watch their confidence grow, and feel like I was really making a difference, even in small ways. It taught me a lot about patience, creativity, and the joy of helping others learn something new. The people I worked with were kind and supportive, and the whole experience reminded me why I love language and education. I'm genuinely grateful for the opportunity — it's something I'll carry with me always.

Volunteering here was honestly amazing. The food they gave us was delicious every single day, the organization of everything was on point, and the places we got to stay at were super nice — way better than I expected, to be honest. But what really made it special was the hospitality. Ping Pong and the girls were just next-level warm and kind. You can really feel the human connection and good vibes in everything they do. Definitely a place I want to come back to. Grateful for the experience

I would definitely recommend volunteering for the school! The staff are so welcoming & the volunteers I stayed with were all lovely 😊 The teaching was a lot easier than I expected - it's mainly conversation but you are also provided with lots of resources to support you with teaching grammar/vocab/skills such as reading & listening. No need to be a qualified teacher! We were given two meals a day (the food was delicious), except for Sunday & had a super fun cooking class on Saturday. Such an amazing experience! :))

All the staffs are friendly and the people I stayed with were so nice🥺🫶🏼 I highly recommend! - We get 2 meals a day and no meals on Sunday which is dayoff. - There's 200THB deposit. - 40THB for using washing machine. - It's really hard to get to the place with yellow truck. It was very confusing,,, - cooking class was so much fun! - The food here is really delicious :) - Teaching English is not too hard! Easy to handle :) I was so lucky to spend time with nice people✨ 1 week went by so quickly💨💨

I had an absolutely wonderful experience volunteering for brain school. Communication was great from day one and all the staff and the owners are lovely. Met some amazing volunteers from around the world and felt very comfortable. The lessons themselves are 40mins long and you have 4-6 classes every weekday afternoon. They were relatively easy and I had a great time teaching. Would definitely recommend.

I had an amazing experience! It was my first time teaching, they give you the tools so you can prepare yourself. You can have 6 classes a day between 3pm to 10pm, so it's a lot of work but really nice if you want to have the experience. They gave us lunch and dinner and the food was really good, also there is a seven eleven and some markets that you can go to. Keep in mind the accommodation is simple and there is a lot of nature near by so there's some insects, but that really shouldn't be a problem. Really grateful for my stay ❤️

I had the best time and can definitely recommend staying here to teach. Everyone was incredibly nice and were always available if you had questions. The hours were respected and your schedule as well as what was expected of you was always clear. I want to thank every single person that made my stay unforgettable. Special thanks to Pingpong and Fai for taking me to a glasses shop when I lost mine. The mom is a great cook and you'll be eating well. Thank you! The place is absolutely beautiful and the other volunteers were amazing. You'll have a great time here! I hope to see everyone again:)

I loved this place, especially the people. It's all online (3-5 classes per day, 40 minutes each) You're not expected to be a qualified English teacher, but please make each class useful and personal to each student. You get notes from the previous teacher to assist you. The kids love expressive stories. Chat GPT is your best friend. Example: "B1 English level story about a 12 year old Thai girl who travels to Japan with Harry Potter by boat collecting sushi ingredients. Underline adjectives. 500 words". Food is roughly at 11:00 and 16:00. Most of us got fruit/snacks to fill the gaps.

Volunteering at the school was an incredible experience. I supported English classes and helped students express themselves with confidence. The kids were curious and motivated, and the teaching team made me feel part of the community from day one. Being surrounded by nature in Maewang made the experience even more special. I didn't just practice english, I learned a lot about culture, education, and collaboration. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to teach in an authentic and meaningful way.
