Hi! I have been a teacher 7 years at Kindergarten and Primary School (English Program). I got hooked on teaching as I liked to see my young students learning and gaining in confidence. Teaching at Thai Language Hut is not much different. Yes the students are bigger, but I still get the same satisfaction imparting knowledge in a student friendly fashion. I love to see my students’ successfully reading, writing and communication with Thai locals. It’s my aim to make your learning of Thai fun and easy for you!

After spending some time in the US I realized that alongside the basic needs of food, medicine, clothes and shelter really language should be the 5^th item! When you are considering to live in a new environment you should consider preparing with tools that make you feel more at home in that culture and thus happier and more comfortable. Language can be one of these bridges to help you cross to this new life style. As for myself I consider my biggest strengths as possessing a good sense of humor and the ability to empathise with my students; after all I have been in the same situation! I get great personal satisfaction watching the students’ confidence grow over the training period. I enjoy teaching student of all abilities and personalities and take responsibility to match my training style and pace to their needs.

Nut
Nut is a young dynamic teacher who is interested in new teaching techniques and is totally focused on getting information across to her students in meaningful bite sized chunks. Although new to teaching she makes up for this with her genuine interest in her students and enthusiasm. Her only weakness is working too hard to develop new ideas and tools for her students!

The danger in teaching Thai to non Thai’s is that it is such a complex alien language it can be quite daunting for some. I attempt to make my teaching interesting and assessable by creating interesting bite sized chunks of information which the student can easily digest imparting confidence. Through having a series of small steps the student can make good progress and feel confident about their ability. It is up to the teacher to inspire and lead the student. I aim to make my lessons friendly and fun but still with a focus on results.
