Brainstorm Homeschool
My project focuses on teaching English to Thai people, with an emphasis on empowering them to confidently engage in conversations with foreigners. The primary goal is to build confidence in using English, enabling Thais to exchange ideas, perspectives, and cultural knowledge with volunteers. This exchange takes place through conversations in English, fostering mutual understanding and cultural appreciation. Additionally, volunteers have the opportunity to stay in Chiang Mai at my home, which is nestled in a garden-like setting. This offers a serene and ideal environment for relaxation and cultural immersion in Thailand. The project not only enhances language skills but also bridges cultural gaps, creating a meaningful and enriching experience for both Thai participants and international volunteers.
"Our home welcomes both native and non-native English speakers to teach the language. If you are confident in your ability to engage, converse, and connect with others, this is the right position for you. You will find joy in traveling while making your journey meaningful to your students."
What we exchange with our volunteers:
1. Teaching techniques. If you are already a teacher we can share our experiences.
2. Exploring the local Chaiangmai areas (hot springs, caves, mountains, markets, waterfalls) during free time.
3. Eating local and traditional Thai food both at the school and around the area.
4. Teaching volunteers how to cook by using different techniques. Some dishes I have taught before to volunteers are: honey toast, green curry, shabu shabu, tom yum soup, padthai, papaya salad etc.
5. Meet local people around Chaingmai. They are always eager to get to know volunteers because they don’t see a lot of foreigners.
