"I've been taking weekly Thai language lessons with Amy for almost a year now and i cannot reccomend her highly enough. Where other language tutors simply stepped me through the usual situational senarios such as "greetings", "ordering at a restaraunt" or "checking into a hotel" etc, Amy taught me the basic structure and how to put together a coherent sentence from scratch. With this and a (growing ) bank of thai words i am able to make myself understood in any situation. Since then we have been refining my language skills to the point where this year I am now learning how to read and write in Thai. Amy is a skilled teacher who draws on her own considerable experiences in learning languages to provide a valuable skill to anyone with a desire to learn Thai. Her lessons are always enjoyable and are the highlight of my week. I consider them more of a catchup with a dear friend than a chore. Learning any language is best considered a continuing hobby rather than a short journey but wether you are preparing for a holiday or you plan to move / work in Thailand for a longer period of time, Amy will have you confidently speaking thai in a surprisingly short time."
