Would you like to work as an English Teacher?

NAVA are expanding, and as such we require more qualified ESL teachers.

Applicants must meet the following requirements. If you have any questions please contact us.

Requirements

• Must be 22 years of age or older.

  We require that our teachers be mature, sensible and above all reliable. We are aware that these qualities do not necessarily correlate with age, but through experience we beleive that 22 is a good age to start teaching.
  If you do not meet this requirement, do not worry - contact us, as exceptions are often made.

• Must be a native english speaker

  Our job is to provide expert language teachers to schools and as such we require all of our teachers to be Native English speakers.
  

• must have a university degree

  To obtain a work permit in Thailand you are required to have a university degree. You are NOT required to have studied education, any subject is acceptable.

• must have a teaching qualification

  We require that our teachers possess a teaching qualification such as a ESL or TEFL course certificate.
  
  We offer TEFL training via Green TEFL. This course is a step ahead of the rest as the trainees have the opportunity to practice in real classrooms at NAVA contracted schools.

• must have experience

  Teachers wishing to work at NAVA must have experience teaching young learners.

• be healthy and energetic

  Teaching can be a tiring, yet rewarding job and we want our teachers to be energetic and able to evoke an encouraging atmosphere.
  
  Unlike most language centres, you will be teaching the same students throughout your contracted year, and thus are relied upon by your students for their English lessons. If you are susceptible to illness or are frequently unfit to attend school we ask you not to apply, as it is unfair to our students.

• you must have an understanding of thai culture

  As you will be teaching in a Thai school, an understanding of Thai culture and etiquette is essential.

• must be reliable and willing to work as a team

  NAVA encourages a strong team ethic and our teachers often bond together to give advice, ideas and encouragement to eachother. We would like our new teachers to be team players.
  
  It is also important that you can be relied upon to attend classes, complete your work with little to no hassle. You will spend the majority of your time at school, and as such must be relied upon to conduct yourself accordingly.

• you must attend an interview

  We only hire those who are willing to attend a job interview. Dress smart and be presentable.

Benefits

Working at NAVA has many benefits and is a rewarding experience.

• one academic year contract

  Unlike most language centres, we provide our teachers with a 1 year contract, assuring our teachers they need not worry about inconsistant income, or becoming unemployed.

• work permit

  We provide our teachers with a visa and work permit.

• bupa healthcare accident insurance

  We offer our teachers healthcare insurance via BUPA, just in case you take sick or have an accident.

• bonus scheme

  At NAVA we encourage our teachers to put every effort into their lessons and as an incentive we offer a bonus to those who work hard and teach well.

• national holidays

  NAVA pays you for the many national holidays that incurr throughout the working year.

• 1 week paid holiday

  NAVA teachers get a 1 week paid holiday every year.

• materials and assistance

  The NAVA office is often referred to as a library for flashcards, there are literally too many flashcards to count! All of the NAVA resources are at your disposal for use in your lessons, be it flashcards or a laptop computer. We provide our teachers with enough resources to teach excellent lessons.
  
  The NAVA office also has our most valuable resource, our staff! The office staff are incredibly helpful and are always available to help with making flashcards, designing worksheets and everything in between.

Don't have a TEFL certificate?

If you do not have a TEFL qualification, why not take our TEFL course via Green TEFL?


The Green TEFL Course is different from other TEFL programs because our trainees learn to teach in real Thai schools. Within your first days of TEFL training, you will be teaching in one of the schools that contract NAVA for teachers and it's this early, authentic experience that instills the relevance of all of the training you will receive.

While other courses may overload trainees with theoretical instruction before the trainees ever see the inside of a classroom, Green TEFL grounds all of its instruction in practical teaching and guides your learning through continous contact with real Thai students.
