About Me

InterestsHistoryTravelEnvironment & NatureFoodReading
I am a native Thai speaker from the southern part of Thailand, fluent in both Thai and English. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in engineering in the US. As a lifelong language learner, I love learning languages to explore new cultures, people, and places. I am also learning Chinese (Mandarin), Spanish, and Vietnamese. I used to hate learning foreign languages until I moved to the US at the age of 18. After that, my passion for learning languages developed. Having observed different teaching methods from teachers, I will make the lessons more relevant to you. 你好,我叫Don。我的中文名字是【荘俊雄】。我的中文水平是中级。我很愿意帮你学泰语。 *Students must be at least 16 years old.

Don is a great teacher and extremely helpful. He explains the meaning of words and grammar in an easy and memorable way. He also tailors his classes to your needs, making lessons very effective. A great Thai teacher. I recommend you to book time with him!

If you're multilingual / a polyglot or hoping to be one, I highly recommend Don. Don has an understanding on tones across several Asian languages, an understanding of the history of languages in SE Asia, such as some of the Sanskrit origins etc. - if learning a language with the help of another language is your way of learning then I highly recommend Kru Don!

Good lesson. Teacher encouraged me to use correct grammar and tonality when speaking. I learned something new and important in my first lesson.

I really enjoy learning Thai with Kru Don. He has experience with learning several languages himself, which helps a lot with the techniques he uses. The lesson flows with a nice conversation that is full of new vocabulary and the correct tone-use. Highly recommended:)

I’m so glad to have met Don, my Thai teacher! I’ve wanted to learn the Thai alphabet for a long time, but I always struggled and never made much progress. During our 30-minute conversation, I shared all my concerns with him, and he quickly understood exactly what kind of support I needed. He also came well-prepared with excellent learning materials, which made everything much easier. I only wish I had met him sooner—my Thai learning journey would have been so much smoother! But it’s never too late to start. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn Thai, and I’m already looking forward to my next lesson!

I really like that Khru Don forced me to try to ask him questions and explained in English areas I did not understand.
