Dan (UK)
“I had a fun lesson with Kru Tee today. I learned some new words and we reviewed vocabulary from previous classes, as well as some from today’s class with flash cards. Plus, I’m starting to form some basic sentences with the existing vocab. เจอกัน / jer gan!”
Anna (Germany)
“I enjoy my conversation classes with Tree. She knows how to ask good questions and keep the conversation going even though my Thai is limited. I appreciate the effort she makes and how strict she is when correcting my tones and my pronounciation as getting tones right is essential for making yourself understood when speaking to Thais in real life. She also provides corrections and gives me a good amount of new vocabulary during each lesson.”
Yasin (Germany)
“Es ist wirklich eine Freude mit Tree Thailändisch zu lernen. Sie ist sehr geduldig und achtet darauf das der Schüler die Worte versteht und sinngemäß einsetzt. Wenn Fragen offen sind geht sie stets darauf ein und bildet neue Sätze um das Verständniss zu verbessern. Sie ist geduldig, gelassen aber dennoch konzentriert und sehr bemüht das der Schüler soviel mitnimmt vom Unterricht wie möglich. Sie lächelt gern was die Stimmung immer wieder aufheitert. Das bereits gelernte wird häufig wiederholt, so dass die Basis für Neues auf festen Boden steht. Immer wieder gern Sie als Lehrerin zu haben.”
Jolyne (US)
“Tree was an excellent teacher during my trial lesson and things have only gotten better! We’re about half way through the first section of material and she’s always encouraging, engaged, and focused on my lessons. With learning any new language, building up a basic vocabulary to express yourself is the main goal. Tree does an awesome job of teaching the essentials while keeping things fun and interesting. We do flash cards, exercises from the material, role playing/practicing practical sentences – asking and answering in thai phrases. Tree is also amazing at relating the lessons to your special interests. Sense thai food is one of my special interest, When learning anything new she’ll often tie it in to be about thai cuisine, food, restaurants, etc. It really helps make things stick. I’ve been really happy with my progress so far. Tree is an excellent teacher and I absolutely plan on finishing my course with her 🙂”
Savan (Switzerland)
“I’ve had many teachers, both in Thailand and online, Kru Tree may be one of the best I’ve ever met. She is a very pedagogical person who knows how to adapt to your level and is able to listen to you while keeping the focus on the lesson to help you progress as much as possible in order to make the most of your time. I felt very comfortable learning with her even though I am a rather shy person, she will make you confident while learning Thaï language no matter the difficulties. All her qualities are truly representative of Thai culture that I greatly appreciate, it really motivates me to study in order to meet beautiful people like her. Her lessons are well structured and supported by course materials that allow to easily review what was studied. This way I get to remember more things and can easily find what I forgot instead of just relying on my memory or my notes. In addition, I am very grateful to her for being able to give me lessons so late at night after my work and sports.”
Cecilia (US)
“I want to take multiple lessons with Kruu Tree before giving a review and now that it has been about a month, I can say she is a great teacher. I have a busy lifestyle, so I like the way the lessons are broken down because it is in small amounts that I can handle. Even if I do not get to study as much as I want during a busy week (because life happens), I can remember most of the material and build on it in the next class. I enjoy the practice we do in class to help solidify the newly learned vocabulary in my mind. Another thing I like about Kruu Tree is her ability to take feedback and adjust based on your needs. I have asked her to slow down our lessons (since I grasp languages a bit easier, we can sometimes get 3 lessons in). She had no issues with it and we now work on practicing more in class instead of just moving forward. I look forward to seeing how far I am in 3 months!”
