Jantawee Supha

Hi there! I'm Jantawee Supha, your Thai language instructor.  My students call me Kru Nan. "Nan" is my nickname and "Kru" means teacher. I've been teaching Thai for more than 7 years and have helped many new beginners just like you learn how to speak, read, and write Thai with confidence.Through the years of teaching, I have learned how my students learn, what works and what doesn't.  I have been developing lesson plans and a system to help my students learn Thai in the most natural, fun, and effective way possible.  If you want to learn Thai, I would really love to help you too!
