I'm Sam, a certified English teacher with over 14 years of experience helping children aged 3 to 11 learn to read and speak English with confidence. I specialize in phonics and early reading, using fun, interactive lessons to build strong foundations in pronunciation, vocabulary, and comprehension. I hold a Master’s degree from the University of Birmingham and a TESOL certificate. I'm also fluent in Thai and understand the challenges of learning a new language. My classes are full of energy, tailored to each child's level, and designed to inspire a love of reading while delivering real progress.

Sam has a very balanced teaching approach: grammar, conversation, listening, and reading are naturally integrated, making the learning process effective and never boring. He is always available to clarify doubts, encourages active participation, and creates a positive and motivating environment.
