My name is Dr. Wilaiwan W. Quinn. I have never had an English nickname as many Thai people do, because my Thai nickname Ying is easy to pronounce for foreigners. My foreign students and friends from all over the world can say this word. Since I came back from my Postgraduate course in the UK in 2003, I have been teaching Thai as a foreign language. In my classes whether private or group, we always have FUN. In 2006, it was my honor to teach the honorary British consul and director of the British Council in Chiang Mai, Mr. Jon Glendinning. In 2015, I completed my PhD at Chiang Mai University in Education Curriculum and Instruction. While we take our teaching seriously at Effective Thai, learning a foreign language in a lighthearted, fun way is our approach. Thai language is as simple, and sophisticated, as our Thai culture. After you are equipped with Thai lessons, you will find your life here much easier!

Thai Language Classes are most effective with 1-to-1 tutoring. While it costs twice as much as the small group rate, the speed of learning can be twice as fast. For students who are advancing beyond the basics,

Small Group Thai Language Classes
