Thai teacher for kids - Lamphun

[bryan45876]

Hello,

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to find a Thai teacher that will come to our house in Lamphun and teach our kids Thai everyday for 3-4 hours? We are looking for someone for one month, starting July 15, and they must bring the materials.

 

Thanks,

Bryan

How old are the kids and how many are there ?  What time of the day do you want them taught ? What language do they speak now ? How much are you paying ?

Two kids, aged 3 and 6. They know a few words in Thai, but not much. They are fluent in English, spent their lives in USA so far. Would prefer morning (9-12) for teaching, but we are flexible. Pay is negotiable depending on qualifications of the person. Thanks.

Many Junior school teachers give one-on-one lessons to children after school. The issue is they can't teach until the afternoon once school is finished at 4.p.m. (except for the weekends). I suggest you contact a local junior school close to your home.

Good idea. Thanks!

3 to 4 hours a day?  At those ages?  Formal language instruction? You're not going to hold a three and six year old's attention for 3 to 4 hours.
You may be better off with a live-in, bi-lingual nanny.  The three year old will absorb it like a sponge.  The six year old may need a little more one-on-one formalize instruction.  Just my opinion.

Thanks for the thoughts. We are only going to spend a month there and are trying to maximize the amount of Thai they learn.
