Carroll Preparatory School is seeking a highly capable and creative Native English-Speaking Teacher to teach children at the primary level, particularly emerging readers and writers in Grade 1.
Our classrooms are small, active, mixed-age and inclusive. Children do not spend the whole day sitting at desks or completing worksheets. They learn through meaningful discussion, storytelling, projects, movement, play and hands-on exploration.
This position is best suited to a teacher who is comfortable responding to children’s ideas, adapting instruction to different learning needs and actively participating in the classroom—not someone whose experience is limited to delivering whole-class lessons in large, traditional classrooms.
Key Responsibilities
- Teach English reading, phonics, writing, speaking and literature at the primary level.
- Help emerging readers and writers develop strong foundational skills and the confidence to try, make mistakes and improve.
- Design active, hands-on lessons using storytelling, games, projects, discussion and meaningful writing.
- Guide children in writing stories, fiction, personal narratives and other creative texts.
- Model excellent spoken and written English, including grammar, vocabulary, story structure and literary techniques.
- Differentiate instruction for children working at different levels within a mixed-age classroom.
- Support neurodiverse learners and children with different learning, language and developmental needs.
- Observe and document student progress and use evidence to plan appropriate next steps.
- Collaborate closely with co-teachers and other members of the academic team.
Essential Qualifications
- Native English speaker with excellent spoken and written English.
- Bachelor’s degree in Education, English, Literature, Linguistics or a related field.
- At least two years of relevant experience teaching primary-aged children.
- Strong creative-writing ability. Candidates should be confident writing and teaching stories, short fiction, narratives and children’s literature.
- Experience using active, inquiry-based, project-based or play-based teaching methods.
- Able to manage small groups and mixed-age or mixed-ability classrooms.
- Patient, responsive and genuinely comfortable working in an inclusive classroom.
- Experience with Reggio Emilia-inspired education or emergent curriculum.
- Knowledge of structured literacy, systematic phonics and early reading development.

Please mention that you found the job on Teast for the school's reference.
📌 Please review the requirements to teach English in Thailand before you start applying for teaching positions. If the job post specifies "NES" or "Native English Speaker", it typically means applicants are required to be from one of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa. However, in some cases, this may indicate a preference rather than a strict requirement.
⏳ Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.
⚠️ Watch out for agencies that charge fees or take a cut of your salary. Good agencies get paid by the schools - not by taking money from you. If you’re not sure how they make money, just ask. If they say they take a percentage, that’s a red flag - avoid them and let us know so we can ban them from the site. Unlike other job boards that allow these kinds of agencies to advertise at your expense, we don’t - we’ve already banned several to stop teachers from being underpaid or exploited.
⚠️ When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
