Living in Guildford? See Thai tutors' reviews & videos
In-person language lessons with a tutor can be a great experience, but if you're unable to find an affordable private Thai tutor in Guildford, online learning may be a good option for you. To take lessons with a Thai tutor in your area, you may have to pay more to cover their travel costs or travel to their home, and the average cost of private Thai lessons in Guildford is over $20 per hour. With online learning, you can save on travel expenses and have access to top tutors from around the world.
Many students who try online language lessons with a tutor are pleasantly surprised by the experience. At LanguaTalk, lessons are 1-on-1 to ensure you get your tutor's full attention and can make rapid progress. Lessons are conducted via video call, allowing you to communicate with your tutor and share learning materials, as if you were in the same room. Give it a try with a free trial session and see for yourself!
You can watch Thai tutor intro videos, check their availability, and read reviews from their students on their profiles. You'll also see which learning needs, ages, and levels the tutor is comfortable with.
Are you new to LanguaTalk? When you sign up, you'll get a token for a complimentary 30-minute trial lesson. Use this to meet your chosen tutor and decide whether you want to keep taking classes with them or look for a Thai tutor in Guildford instead. (Please note: not all tutors offer a free trial lesson - some charge 30% of their regular lesson price.)

Experienced teacher, friendly atmosphere, and great methodologies !
I'm Tarntawan, and I graduated Master's Degree in TEFL- certified. I used to be an English instructor at the university. I used English to communicate with my students in class. I taught at the university for 13 years. There, I also taught Thai to my students. I taught Thai to foreigners from many countries, such as America, Vietnam, Spain, China, Hong Kong, etc. My students learned communication skills from me. I was excited since it was challenging. Currently, I have at least 4 years of experience in teaching an online class.
I have a passion for being a teacher. I love transferring my knowledge to others and learning from others. "Everyone can be a teacher, but only some are the teacher with soul." For myself, my reward is not money but the success of my students. I am patient, kind, friendly, and open-minded. I love exchanging ideas with others on various topics. I enjoy talking to people from different countries in order to learn from them. Learning can take place everywhere.
I am specialized in communication for all levels of students. I usually carefully plan the lesson for my students based on their learning styles or request. I believe that learning by doing is productive in learning language and also leads to speaking naturally. However, if you need more skills to cover, we can discuss them in class. I provide the handout, exercises, assignment varied on each individual. For teaching material, I have a variety of materials such as audio or media: songs, films, and commercials. I plan and design my teaching materials by myself; therefore, if you are about the book, No books, but I provide handouts.
Moreover, I also lead the conversation about current topics, including slang and expressions in daily life. I teach according to the lesson plans and lead to the updated topics or trends that can draw your attention and motivate you to speak more. For intermediate and advanced levels, the topics are varied on interest and can be tailored by the students. Surely, the amount of speaking Thai should be encouraged, and I speak less amount in English, too.
Feel free to have a trial lesson to see how I can help you to become an effective Thai speaker.

Certified tour guide and Certified Thai teacher
Hello, my name is Nisa. I’m from Thailand. I’m a certified guide and certified Thai teacher.
I have a strong passion for learning languages and to teach my own language. I can speak Thai, English, and a bit of Italian and French.
I have a certificate in teaching Thai to foreigners, and I have been doing this independently for many years now. I have carefully crafted my own unique teaching style over the years through countless students, and created numerous worksheets for many different types of students at all levels. At this point, I have had many success stories with my students.
I can pinpoint a student’s weak point in regards to their language skills quite easily, and am able to give exact tips on how to boost it. I always try to be understanding of where my student is at and what they need help with the most.
For those of you who are just being introduced to Thai language, I think it is important to point out that Thai is a tonal language, which can be challenging at first for newcomers. But rest assured, I want to make this hurdle an easy one to overcome.
And for those who have already been introduced to Thai language, since this is one on one lessons, we can go over throughly any topics that you need a better understanding of for your goals, for example if you come here for Thai boxing, work, school, family, or whatever it might be.

Learn Thai with me – Not pro, but guaranteed laughs!
My name is Esther. I am a Native Thai speaker and a nursing student in Finland. I started teaching out of curiosity, and now it has become my part-time job.
I see myself as a non-professional teacher, which means you can expect a fun lesson and a comfortable learning environment. I recommend booking a trial lesson to experience my teaching style and determine whether it suits you. I adapt my methods based on each student, as everyone learns and processes information differently.
You can discuss your learning objectives with me during our first lesson or at the end of our learning topic. During our lesson, I primarily used the presentation to help you visualize the words and grasp the concept of the word. I am delighted to be a part of your Thai learning journey. I am hoping to see you soon!

Thai is not an easy language to learn obviously but with my unique materials and techniques, it will give you a new experience that Thai can be actually easy and fun to learn 😊
Why study with me? 🇹🇭🖊️
I have experience as a Thai tutor to teach Thai learners in all levels; beginner, intermediate and advanced and all skills; speaking, listening, reading and writing. The courses are designed to be easy to understand and learn the commonly used words that you can build sentences from there and can be adapted use in daily life.
On top of that each student can learn at their own pace, get extra words and sentences tailored to the needs of each. We will not just follow the books blindly and not learn randomly without necessity.
The books have photos and I also use flashcards to help students remember Thai vocabs better. It is an interactive course and you can practise through exercises and get lots of practice speaking like a local.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does learning with a tutor via video call differ from learning face-to-face with a Thai tutor in Guildford?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Thai online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
What are the best options for receiving Thai lessons in Guildford?
Whether you live in the city centre or the suburbs of Guildford, there are many options for learning Thai. You could use an app or a software program if you're looking to pick up basic vocabulary and learn some grammar rules. Alternatively, you could attend group lessons with Thai tutors in Guildford if you're keen for a social experience. Or, you could take 1-on-1 lessons with a private tutor. This isn't the cheapest way to learn a language but it's possibly the most effective, assuming you have a good tutor. Learning online rather than face-to-face may make private tutors a more affordable option. Check the tutor profiles above to see how much it's likely to cost. Prices vary a lot depending on the tutor, but will usually be cheaper than learning with a Thai tutor in Guildford, face-to-face.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also provide Thai lessons in Guildford?
Tutors on LanguaTalk sometimes provide lessons locally, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, most tutors are not teaching Thai in Guildford because they're living elsewhere in the world. If you decide to book with a tutor, you should assume that they can only teach you online.
How much do Guildford Thai tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average cost for private Thai lessons in Guildford is somewhere between $25-$35 per hour. As online tutors do not need to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living, the hourly cost tends to be significantly lower.
What's the best way to find a Thai tutor near me in Guildford?
If you're really not keen on learning with a teacher via video call, LanguaTalk isn't going to be the right choice for you. You can instead search for a tutor on a local service listing website, or put up an advert in your local area. We do encourage you to give it a try learning online though - you've got nothing to lose as you can book a free trial session. Most people find the experience is as good as learning face-to-face, but with the benefit of having access to better tutors at a lower cost.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 Thai lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:
1 - Find your ideal tutor by browsing videos, reviews, pricing and availability.
2 - Book a trial. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free; others charge a discounted price.
3 - Take personalised lessons with your new tutor via video call. Or try someone else.

The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutors have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
New to LanguaTalk? We'll give you a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be just 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at minimal cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Thai as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is quite right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for just 30 percent of their full lesson price.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever Thai tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
