Hi everyone. My name is Timpika. I live in a small town in Lower Northern Thailand. I'm an English teacher and enjoy exchanging languages and teaching Thai to my friends. I studied English and Chinese in high school and theater in university. I'm also interested in yoga, running and cooking. I'm sure I can tell you more later. =D Check out my podcast channel, vocabulary lists, and quizzes here: https://www.italki.com/en/creator_portfolio/14810285?tab=podcast

Me as a Teacher
I have six years of experience tutoring English both online and offline. I like to help my students improve their language skills and have fun. I'm also very patient supportive.
For me, language is one of the keys and it's more functional and fun when we understand how people really speak their languages. Apart from being a tool for providing knowledge, it helps us understand each other more.
My lessons & teaching style
In the class, I would like to make sure my students get to learn with encouragement through the conversations we can have in daily life. The topics can be based on the student's interests. The lessons can be adapted to meet the student's need. Also, we're going to learn Thai common phrases, expressions and how Thai people really talk/pronounce, so you can get to understand and have more fun speaking Thai.
I also help those who want to start learning Thai from the beginning and someone who want to practice reading and writing Thai, too. Feel free to message me for more information. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Om-am's Thai language class has been a fantastic learning experience. Initially joining for speaking lessons, I've now shifted my focus to reading, thanks to her guidance.
Om-am's calm and patient teaching style creates a comfortable learning environment, especially important for a tonal language like Thai. Her choice of materials is simple and yet engaging.
What sets her apart is her ability to simplify complex concepts, making Thai grammar and language structures more understandable. Her expertise in teaching Thai tones is remarkable, significantly improving my pronunciation.
I highly recommend Om-am's class to anyone looking to learn Thai. She's a great teacher.

I have just completed my tenth lesson with Timpica, and I am truly amazed by the progress I have made under her guidance. In just a short time, I have advanced to reading children's books in Thai—a feat I hadn't anticipated. Although I continue to struggle with mastering the tones and some of the vowel, each lesson with Timpica instills me with growing confidence.
Timpica's teaching approach is not only reliable but also remarkably helpful, motivating, and knowledgeable. She has an innate ability to guide me through the challenges of learning a new language, ensuring that every stumbling block is met with patience and encouragement.
If you're seeking a Thai instructor who is not only dependable and supportive but also possesses a wealth of knowledge and an unwaveringly motivating spirit, Timpica is the perfect choice. My experience with her has been transformative, and I eagerly anticipate the continued progress and proficiency that her guidance will undoubtedly bring.

I'm absolutely amazed at the progress I've achieved in just a month and a half of learning Thai with Timpika. I've already mastered a significant portion of the Thai alphabet and can confidently decipher words with accurate tones. Surpassing the linguistic growth I experienced over a span of five years with my native Thai girlfriend, this accelerated learning journey has been nothing short of amazing. Timpika's exceptional organizational skills and innovative self-created materials have revolutionized my understanding of the language, making it incredibly accessible and enjoyable. Moreover, her delightful personality, incredible patience, and effortless teaching style have made every lesson a breeze to follow and comprehend. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Timpika to anyone eager to embark on a proper and captivating Thai learning adventure!

Without knowing it, it has already been I think 30+ lessons with Timpika and I look forward to every one, as Timpika has evolved to be not just my teacher but also a friend and confidante who gives me great insight into Thai culture.
Beyond that, I (feel like I have) improved leaps and bounds with the Thai language, going from someone who only remembered some letters of the alphabet to someone who can now read and write Thai (most of the time if I concentrate).
I'm grateful to witness my Thai improve and I'm even happier Timpika is the one leading this journey. She's a great teacher!
