สวัสดีค่ะ! I'm Keng, a native Thai speaker from Chiang Mai, fluent in Thai, Northern Thai dialect, and English. I hold a degree in Preschool Education from Chiang Mai University but what truly sets me apart goes beyond qualifications. I'm married to an American, and we're raising our half-Thai, half-American baby together. Bridging two languages and two cultures isn't just my profession, it's my everyday life. Why Learn With Me? I've spent years helping Americans immerse into Thai life not as tourists, but as people building real connections. I know what it feels like to stand between two worlds, and I know how to help you find your footing in Thai. I have over 7 years of experience working as a Program Advisor for the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC), Chiang Mai Program, where I supported and worked closely with American university students studying abroad in Thailand. This role gave me a wonderful opportunity to introduce Thai language and culture to many exchange students. I believe that learning Thai should be enjoyable and practical. In my lessons, I use creative techniques and engaging activities that help students practice Thai naturally and confidently. I always listen carefully to my students, encourage them, and guide them to use correct Thai in the right situations.

I can highly recommend Kru Keng she is a great teacher who makes every lesson fun and enjoyable to learn even when you’ve had a hard day or week in work school or university and are very tired you won’t regret taking that lesson because you will be guaranteed a laugh during your lesson 🫡

I have been studying Thai with kruu Malisa for almost a year now and I can confidently say that she has been one of the best educators that I have ever met. Every time you enter her classroom she greets you with a smile and than continues to teach you with her beautifully organized lesson plans. In this short time she has tough me to be able to read and speak Thai to a point that I wouldn’t have thought possible the previous year. I really cannot recommend her enough. ขอบคุณ Malisa คุณเป็นครูดีที่สุด

I had a bad week of revision and didn’t feel confident going into my lesson - as always Malisa brought hi energy, focused learning with a fun output, which immediately set me at ease and ready to learn new topics. Malisa’s approach to every lesson is ALWAYS positive and sets the perfect conditions for learning a new language!

I've been studying Thai with Malisa for over a year now, and I have enjoyed every lesson. Malisa is a very professional, reliable, and knowledgeable teacher. We've had conversations about every possible topic that you can imagine, which is one of my favourite things about our lessons. We always have a plan, but if she feels like there's something that I want to talk about more, she's always ready to go down that path with me :)

Another amazing lesson with Malisa! She brings energy, focus and humour in every single lesson. Her teaching is not focused on absolute perfection, it is built around clarity, understanding and context, which makes for a brilliant learning environment. I look forward to my next lesson every time!
