The TEFL International Agate Program is all about Wellness—for you and for the wonderful Krabi community.
And when we say wellness, we don't just mean surviving on coffee and good intentions. We mean looking after both your body and mind. During the program, you'll get active, eat well, build healthy habits, and give your mental wellbeing the attention it deserves.
But here's the best part: wellness is contagious (in the nicest possible way). Through kindness, encouragement, and your teaching, you'll help others improve their physical and mental wellbeing too.
What's included?
Learn how to teach Medical English and prepare learners for the OET (Occupational English Test).
Enjoy inspiring sessions with local wellness experts who know a thing or two about healthy living.
Put your new teaching skills into practice with members of the Krabi medical and wellness community, including doctors, nurses, paramedics, fitness professionals, and other healthcare heroes.
You'll leave with new teaching skills, healthier habits, meaningful connections—and probably a bigger smile than when you arrived.
Your volunteer hours are your chance to roll up your sleeves, get involved, and make a real difference. You can choose to spend them:
🌱 Getting your hands dirty (literally!) by helping on a local farm.
🏥 Supporting the local healthcare community by volunteering at a hospital or clinic.
⚽ Sharing your passion for sport by coaching a local team, teaching new skills, and even organizing a community tournament. Who knows—you might discover the next sports superstar!
Whichever path you choose, you'll gain valuable experience, meet incredible people, and leave a positive impact on the Krabi community.
Bonus Adventure: Rock Climbing in Krabi
Fancy swapping the classroom for the cliffs? As part of the program, you can choose to add an unforgettable Rock Climbing Course.
Whether you've never touched a climbing wall or you're already a seasoned climber, Krabi is one of the world's most spectacular places to climb. Its towering limestone cliffs and breathtaking ocean views make every route feel like an adventure.
You'll be guided by Yhu from On The Rocks, a local climbing expert with more than 20 years of experience helping climbers of all levels safely conquer Krabi's famous bolt routes.
But climbing isn't just about muscles and adrenaline.
Research—including reports from the BBC—has highlighted rock climbing as a fantastic activity for both physical and mental wellbeing. Climbers often describe it as a form of moving meditation. It builds confidence, improves focus, reduces stress, and rewards you with that well-earned "I actually did it!" feeling at the top.
Why climb in Krabi?
World-famous locations – Explore the legendary cliffs of Railay Beach, Tonsai, and Phra Nang Bay.
Routes for everyone – From complete beginners to experienced climbers looking for a challenge, there are thousands of bolted routes to choose from.
Views you'll never forget – Think dramatic limestone cliffs, turquoise seas, tropical beaches, and some of the most Instagram-worthy scenery on the planet.
It's fitness, mindfulness, and adventure—all rolled into one. And let's be honest... it's a lot more exciting than another day at the gym!
Spend the day unwinding with V, Paul, and the wonderful Voasis team, Because even teachers in training need a relaxing day off! The Voasis gang will help you recharge between your TEFL adventures.
