Learn Thai language with a qualified native teacher

Sà-wàt-dii khâ.

My name is Kontaros (Kiki). I am an experienced teacher and dedicated to teaching. Since I completed my PhD from the UK, I have had opportunities to experience different aspects of the teaching-learning processes which I always take into account how they are related to effective and efficient classroom learning and student outcomes.

I provide Thai language and English lessons for non-native students and adults. Classes are tailor-made in order to suit your preferences. The course is for anyone who wants to learn Thai, as an absolute beginner or to improve your current skills, also for exams, grammar or conversation.

Some examples of Thai language lessons are (not limited to):
- Basic Thai Conversation for Travellers starts
- Purposively arranged Conversation in Thai for absolute beginners e.g. for family gatherings, relationships and survival Thai
- Reading and Writing Thai

*** Kindly note that homework will be assigned after every lesson to assist students in positive progress. It is recommended to spend 2-4 hours per week for your self-study.

Please contact me before booking lessons so that a suitable schedule will be arranged well in advance.

Please prepare any books or worksheets you would like to use for the class or we will design together how lessons will be taught.

About Me

Teaching and tutoring in higher education for a few years and now offering tailor-made
language courses which can be adjusted to make them fit for one's preference(s) e.g. grammar, vocabulary and conversation. I like teaching since it challenges me to help others understand and discuss further details in which they are interested. Most of all, these make me happy sharing knowledge with students.
I believe that everyone is never too late to learn, just do your best and make the most of it.

Education

PhD Physical Terrestrial Geographical and Environmental Sciences, Coventry University, UK

Certificate: Teaching Thai for Foreigners, Mahidol University, Thailand.

I have now had a few online lessons from Kontarus and I have the feeling that I have already learned a lot. She adapts her program very well to the student's initial situation and she keeps a good pace in her lessons. The Thai language and culture is not foreign to me, but every lesson I learn new relevant and fun details regarding the (language) customs of Thailand. It is also very important to me that her lessons take place in a good and relaxed atmosphere. These lessons are highly recommended.
