About Me

When I first started teaching Thai during my freshman year in college, I never imagined how much it would change my life. I just wanted to make friends and learn about new cultures. I remember offering a one-hour class for only $10 and getting so caught up in it that I ended up teaching for three whole hours—time just flew by, and I loved every minute of it.

​

Back then, it was all about the joy of sharing my passion and making new friends, never thinking it could turn into a career. Now, with over 10,000 hours of teaching experience, I'm always trying to be a better teacher. I listen to my native language every day, paying attention to how Thais talk to each other, and use those insights to help my students.

​

Teaching isn't just a job—it's about pouring love, dedication, and a sincere drive to help non-Thai speakers not only get fluent but also speak Thai like a pro, all while diving into the fascinating world of Thai culture along the way. I truly believe that with the right mindset and a never-give-up attitude, no matter how tough the language seems, anyone can boost their Thai skills to amazing heights by sticking with it.
