I just finished my seventh lesson with Ms. Wanpen 'Pen' Outh, and I am learning more Thai and at a faster pace than ever. Ms. Pen's teaching style is relaxed and friendly, yet structured and rigorous. I am able to clearly hear tones in Thai speech now, and this is making learning to speak and listen even more enjoyable. Thank you so much! I am looking forward to my next lesson.

I learned Thai 34 years ago, and I thought that I had forgotten almost all of the language. Wanpen is such an superb teacher that after just my first lesson with her I was speaking and understanding basic words and sentences. I am looking forward to relearning what I have forgotten and learning much more new Thai under Wanpen's excellent instruction!
