Learning a language face-to-face with a tutor can be a fantastic experience. But if you're unable to find an affordable private Thai tutor in Los Angeles, you may want to consider learning online. To learn with a Thai tutor near you in Los Angeles, you'll have to either travel to the tutor's home, or pay more to cover their travel time; the average cost of receiving private Thai lessons in Los Angeles is over $20 per hour. Not only does learning online save travel costs, but you gain access to the best tutors from all over the world.
Whilst students sometimes prefer learning in person, the vast majority of students report being pleasantly surprised by the experience of learning with a tutor online. On LanguaTalk, lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can progress quickly.

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.

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, friends, or whatever it might be.

In my class, I try my best to create a safe and fun atmosphere where you can feel comfortable and confident to practise all the skills of Thai language, ask questions you have in mind, learn in informative and productive ways yet easy to understand and really can adapt to use in daily life. 💻
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.

Our research suggests that the average hourly rate for private Thai lessons in Los Angeles is between $25-$35. Since online tutors don't have to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, their hourly rate tends to be significantly lower.
If you prefer in-person lessons over online learning, LanguaTalk may not be the best fit for you. Instead, you can search for a tutor on a local service listing website or place an advertisement in your area. However, we do encourage you to try online learning – you have nothing to lose by booking a free trial session. Many students find that the online experience is just as good as in-person learning, with the added benefit of access to higher quality tutors at a lower cost.
Some students might be unsure about learning Thai online because they think it will be very different from in-person learning. However, many students find that the online experience is similar and they often develop strong relationships with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your selected tutor, you'll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor may also share learning resources with you (such as newspaper articles or YouTube videos) and you'll be able to collaborate in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may also provide in-person lessons in Los Angeles, but most only offer online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. Additionally, most tutors are not located in Los Angeles because they are living elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that the lesson will be conducted online.
If you're new to LanguaTalk, we'll provide you with a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If a tutor does not offer a free trial, the trial price will be 30 percent of their full lesson price, allowing you to still try a session at a reduced cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to determine if the tutor is a good fit for you and get a sense of what online learning is like. The tutor will assess your level and try to understand your needs and interests so that they can tailor any lessons you choose to take. You'll be encouraged to speak as much as possible in Thai, but you can also speak in English if needed.
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
One of the benefits of online lessons is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, simply check their calendar to ensure that they have times that fit your schedule. Some tutors may have limited availability due to high demand.
Lessons are taught one-on-one to ensure that you receive customized instruction. During the lessons, your tutor will use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including language exercises, conversation practice, and cultural notes, to help you reach your learning objectives.
All lessons take place via video call. Your tutor will normally give you a choice of calling tools, all of which are easy to use.

In general, 55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. 30-minute lessons may be suitable if you're taking lessons for your child or if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
