Hello, language lover! Thank you for visiting my profile.
My name is Bim, and I was born in Krabi, in the south of Thailand, but I was raised in Nonthaburi, a province near Bangkok. Consequently, I can speak both the southern and central Thai accents. I have a scientific background; I used to work in a biochemical laboratory, conducted research in the nutrition community, and received training in hospitals to become a dietitian.
In another part of my life, I have traveled to many countries and enjoyed language exchange to enhance my language skills. I have also completed training to obtain a certificate for teaching Thai to foreigners.
Me as a Teacher
Realizing that my ability to help foreign friends learn Thai was a driving force behind my teaching journey, I decided to pursue formal training to enhance my teaching capabilities. This program equipped me with the knowledge, methodologies, and best practices needed to effectively teach Thai to non-native speakers.
My ultimate goal as a language teacher is to empower my students to communicate effectively in Thai and to instill in them a deep love and respect for this beautiful language. I approach each class with enthusiasm and a commitment to creating a dynamic and engaging learning experience.
My lessons & teaching style
From 9 years of teaching experience, I recognize that every student is unique, with their own goals and learning styles. As a result, I tailor my lessons to meet the specific needs and interests of each student. Moreover, I prepare online materials for all levels who want to learn it quickly. I have developed these materials to be convenient for learning and have organized the content with a variety of sentences. This approach will allow you to learn step by step and witness your progress during the very first class. My materials will make it easier for you to set your goals, and we will establish these goals together, so you will know what you should prepare for the next class.

Kru Bim was very helpful today. She helped me read the lyrics to a song and explained the meanings that I couldn't quite get by myself. When I didn't understand something she said, she was able to explain in a different way to make me understand the meaning clearly. Thank you.

Kruu Bim has an intricate system of pedagogy that is truly helpful and beneficial to those who are absolutely motivated to learn Thai. The system can be difficult to understand at first. However, it’s cost effective, helpful, and modified to the extent that is more practical and convenient than traditional avenues of learning Thai. If you have the inner drive to push yourself to learn, you will truly benefit with Kruu Bim. She’s also very patient, attentive, and persistent within the classroom, encouraging students to try over and over.
I believe that Kruu Bim’s teaching methods simplify the learning process for Thai while not removing the essential parts. A lot goes into language learning and Kruu Bim approaches learning Thai with a simplification that is equally effective and helpful for the learner. I have no doubt in mind that those who study with Kruu Bim will go far. Thank you for reading and I hope anyone who wishes to learn Thai will choose Kruu Bim as their excellent teacher

It was a pleasure to meet Kru Bim. I appreciate the categorized Thai alphabet handout. It will make it easier to learn the most frequently used Thai letters first. I look forward to my next lesson. Thanks Kruu Bim!

Kruu Bim has lots of material already prepared but we had a problem to connect at the start of the lesson (Which was not her fault). I understand she was testing my level, but I find that Thai teachers often use a very old fashioned approach to language teaching. Whereas nowadays it is all about conversation and teaching words in context.
