All lessons available now. See you! 🪻✨ สวัสดีค่ะ 😊 Hello! My name is Timpika, and I'm a small town in Lower Northern Thailand. With a background in English and Chinese from high school and a degree in theater from university, I bring a creative and engaging approach to language learning. As an experienced English teacher, I enjoy sharing the Thai language and culture with learners from around the world, making each lesson both practical and enjoyable. I am passionate about language exchange, and I also have a keen interest in cooking. For additional practice, feel free to explore my podcast channel, vocabulary lists, and quizzes here: https://www.italki.com/en/creator_portfolio/14810285?tab=podcast. I started tutoring English in 2017 and have been teaching Thai since 2022. 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. 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 w...

I have now done over 100 lessons with Timpika, with that in mind you can rightly assume that I have been very happy to have her as my teacher!! Timpika is very good at her job, she prepares great quality reading material that has really helped me feel more comfortable reading in thai, and she clearly makes an effort to find content that appeals to her students. Perhaps the best thing about Timpika is how easy she is to talk to, conversations with her are long and engaging, you never feel like you've run out of things to say as she often keeps the conversation going herself, this makes lessons with her very pleasant and never boring! I am very happy with Kru Timpika and will probably end up doing another hundred lessons with her!

Om-Amm is wonderful. she is patient and really help guide you through speaking properly. Encourages you as you try to remember and reacts with posifeedback when you get it right while providing gentle guidance when you get it wrong. She genuinely seems to be happy when you succeed and improve. She provides an excellent balance between quizzing you on what you've learned in the past and pushing you to advance your speaking skills.

Kru Timpika has helped me go from a beginner in Thai to passing the ultimate test - taking a two-week tour of Thailand and being able to communicate in Thai in almost any scenario. I always knew I could learn vocabulary and phrases on paper, but I was pleasantly surprised when local Thais understood what I was saying and responded back in Thai. But enough about me. Kru Timpika is a very effective teacher. An hour-long lesson will just fly by because she is a patient and pleasant person, but she will also keep you on task and making progress each week. Lessons are flexible depending on your personal goals; conversation, reading, travel tips, learning Thai culture, etc. Always professional; on time, focused, quality internet connection, quiet learning environment. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Thank you Timpika!

Although I am a beginner in Thai, the flow of conversation is great. I really learned a lot from the class.

Timpika is so nice and easygoing. I told her in our first lesson the reason I'm learning Thai, and she uses my interests in the lessons, which makes the Thai easier to remember because I have something to reference it to. We work on communication phrases and tone corrections. Even though I'm learning Thai for fun, she breaks down the sentences we are saying so I can understand why and what I'm saying instead of memorizing them, which is really helpful.
