    Join me on a journey to learn Thai. Together, we'll explore this rich language My name is Pond. I am an experienced and friendly tutor who offers affordable lessons. Learning with me provides many benefits, including personalized attention and a comfortable learning environment. I specialize in teaching not only the Thai language, but also Thai culture, slang, and idioms.

    Why choose Thanundron W.
    "I am really enjoying spending my time with Kru Pond. He is thorough and careful in his teaching method and, as others have pointed out, he is thoughtful, patient and kind to let you find your pace as you explore a new language and correct yourself in finding your new tongue. He is opening a whole new world to me in a personal way that I do not feel would be possible in a large classroom or gleaning from just recording. Having his personal attention and special touch to what he has to offer in each lesson means a lot to me and keeps me intrigued to keep with him and keep learning more. I am more and more excited about making my first trip, (of many hopefully), to Thailand because of the confidence I am gaining from the support he has shown me in studying with him. He is very good at what he does and I will recommend him to anyone that wishes to learn Thai and learn it well. "

Palm is really great teacher, it was my first time I learnt Thai language so I had really little kowledge about the basics - so as a complete beginner I can say he explains things really well, he is also very patient and kind! I enjoy the lessons very much!

Jasmin

with Seejittrapa

With Esther, i feel like i found a teacher who is adjusting to my needs! She also made her own curriculum, which is much easier to follow than the books. She puts so much effort into the learning progress of her students. And she prepares lesson beforehand, so we can directly start into the topic.
