Teacher Reviews
Wells International School operates multiple campuses in Bangkok with well-behaved, appreciative students primarily from Thailand, Korea, Japan, and India. While teachers consistently praise the student body and find the teaching experience rewarding, the work environment is marked by significant operational challenges, frequent administrative changes, and cost-cutting measures that affect resources and morale. The school experiences high teacher turnover, with many citing management practices and broken promises as primary concerns.
Pros
- +Students are consistently described as well-behaved, receptive, appreciative, and rewarding to teach.
- +Parents are generally supportive and appreciative, despite being demanding at times.
- +The campuses are conveniently located in central Bangkok, making it a great area to live in.
- +Teachers are professional, talented, and work hard despite challenges, creating a sense of community among staff.
Cons
- –Administrative disorganization is widespread, with schedules changing frequently, sometimes multiple times per day, creating confusion for both teachers and students.
- –Severe cost-cutting measures affect basic resources, from inadequate internet connectivity to restrictions on classroom supplies that require lengthy approval processes.
- –Pay is low with no raises or bonuses, housing allowances and airfares are not provided, and contracts often arrive late or change after signing without proper consultation.
- –Management style is described as unprofessional and unsupportive, with staff reporting bullying, broken promises, and sudden terminations without adequate notice or compensation.
- –The school experiences extremely high teacher turnover (approximately 50% reported), with many qualified teachers leaving for better-managed institutions.
