Native Lao Tutor | 5★ | 7+ Years on Italki | 4,700+ Lessons | 350+ Students Hi! My name is Chan. I’m a native Lao speaker from Vientiane, Laos, and I have been teaching on italki since August 2019. Over the past seven years, I have taught more than 4,700 lessons to over 350 students from many different countries. I’m very grateful to have received hundreds of positive reviews from my students and to maintain a 5-star rating. Before teaching Lao online, I taught English for 10 years. I also speak Thai fluently, so I understand both the challenges and the enjoyment of learning and using different languages. I teach Lao from beginner to advanced level. Whether you are starting from zero, living or travelling in Laos, communicating with Lao family or friends, or simply interested in the language and culture, I will adapt the lessons to your level, goals and learning pace. Depending on the student, I may use the book “Lao for Beginners”, Lao language textbooks for foreign learners from the National University of Laos, worksheets, or materials that I create myself. I regularly prepare my own exercises and adapt them to each student’s level, needs and progress. Lessons can include speaking, pronunciation, listening, reading and practical everyday Lao. Every student is different, so I don’t believe in giving exactly the same lesson to everyone. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, help you progress step by step, and teach you Lao that you can actually use. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you!

It was another fun and fruitful lesson. As my homework, I usually read an article and make my original sentences with some new words. Chan is always kind and helps me express what I want to say in Lao. I recommend her as your teacher with all my heart😌✨

ຈັນເພັງເປັນຄູທີ່ດີທີ່ສຸດສຳລັບພາສາລາວລາວມີຄວາມອົດທົນແລະໃຈດີ. Chan is the best teacher for Lao. She is patient and kind. For all new students wanting to learn or improve your language speaking skills, look no further. She is right here.

Thank you for another very helpful beginner lesson. The sheet provided with Lao numbers is really helpful. Understanding pronunciation differences and similarities between Thai and Lao is particularly helpful. I look forward to my next lesson!

How many rave reviews can I submit? It keeps getting better and better. The conversation flows now, and while I constantly fetch up on verbal sandbars, Chan is great about helping me get afloat again. Tonight I told her that I wanted to go beyond my initial goal of learning rudimentary Lao, and commit to a year’s worth of twice-weekly lessons with the goal of being able to read at the end. So, we’re off! I am excited; she tells me that one-year goal is readily achievable, and she’s so good that I believe her!

Thanks again Chan, for teaching me Lao and comparing Lao to Thai. I feel much better prepared for my holiday now.
