About
Who we are
In short, we are qualified teachers, and have been teaching in Thailand for quite some time. We've taught thousands of students and have seen, and (hopefully) have come closer to understanding their preferences, their interests, their struggles, their reactions.
We created this website because teachers are busy. When they are not teaching they are preparing lessons. When they are not preparing, they have administrative tasks to complete. When all that is finished (although it never is, is it?) they are left with either no time at all or with very little of it, which is not enough or is not worth spending on making materials (you know what they say: all work and no play can lead a teacher astray).
To top it up, investing in expensive machines to print, cut, laminate, bind, drill, glue, sew, dye, measure, weigh, hammer, may not be something a teacher might want to do, especially if they are not in Thailand for the long haul.
Therefore, we do the preparation so that you have time for other things.
Secondly, we noticed that a lot of the material available on the market (either local or international) is limited in scope, inappropriate for the current student population, or simply too expensive. We aim to change that.
We've asked teachers what would be a fair price for some of the teaching aids they would need to or would be willing to buy. We used their feedback to set our prices so that everybody would be happy.
We try to make our products as good a quality as possible, and althought they may not look as what comes out of a production line we believe they have the potential to spark interest in students, to help them assimilate knowledge and skill faster and better, we believe they are robust, and will stand the test of time (in our experience, some of what we've made actually lasted longer than other, factory-produced material.
We also wanted to share our knowledge, and our experience. The truth about our profession is that it is dynamic, and that we always learn form each other, which is why we attach ideas of activities to each one of our items.
This website is not intended to be only a teaching aids shop but also a professional teaching community.
