About The Position

Teaching Fellows function as mentors, instructors, and residential supervisors for the Royal Thai Scholars program at Brewster Academy. The Teaching Fellowship position is designed as an introduction to the teaching profession, and especially into private, independent school teaching.

After the summer program, Thai Scholars attend various boarding schools as postgraduates. Fellows’ duties include assisting in and potentially teaching classes, leading conversation groups, developing recreational activities and field trips, driving 14-passenger mini-buses, and supervising dorms. Teaching Fellows will have a variety of opportunities to plan and teach, under the supervision and guidance of experienced faculty members. Candidates should possess a strong work ethic, enthusiasm, cultural sensitivity, leadership, and the desire to engage in collective work. Many past candidates have been interested in exploring the teaching profession and have used this experience as a gateway to graduate school or employment in the teaching field.
