Anyone recommend supplementary Thai tutor for Thai child?

[DawnHRD]

I'm rather worried that littl'un (pure Thai in case anyone isn't aware of my/his history) isn't doing as well in school as he should be. I wrote a letter to his school (in English, as there's supposedly a local Thai English teacher there) telling them of my worries & they told me they'd write back. Nothing.
They are aware of his situation & that he has no Thai parent or role model, and that my spoken Thai is pretty abysmal & my written Thai non-existent. I already pay for him to stay after school to do his homework with help from his teacher, but I don't think that's helping. He just doesn't seem to be to the same standard as his peers & I think the school have just written him off.

So, does anyone know of a good Thai tutor suitable for a seven year old? I don't want to be paying for someone useless or non-qualified. I really think he needs proper help. His weekdays are pretty full, but we can manage 1 or 2 hours on Saturday & Sunday. Anyone know of anyone they can recommend through experience? Cheers.

Dawn,

When we stayed in a house behind the Grand Hotel a couple of years ago, there was a teacher living across from us who used to turn her house in to a weekend school.

If you get no other offers, I can get my daughter to pop up to see if she's still in business, rates etc. Just let me know.

Both my daughters attend Salesian. After school on weekdays they attend 'Pee Sayt' (excuse the transliteration). Both of them enjoy the extra and wouldn't want it cancelled. From my point of view, they both have their homework complete which relieves me of a problem. The times are 4:30 until 6:15 or more. We pay 800 baht per month. I'm not sure if it's only available to Salesian students or whether all comers are welcome. I'll ask on Monday evening and let you know.

My sister in law works at the school in Nebkerhardt Road. They teach children of that age and I'm sure there will be one that will able to help.

I will get her to ask.

The sister is not the most reliable person in the world so it may take a few days.

It will be difficult to recommend anybody unless they have taught her 6 year old son.

I will get back via a PM when I have heard something.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I'm really anxious for him to keep up with the other kids & know I can't help him. This is how it feels to be illiterate - not good.

I'd appreciate more info from anyone that's already posted.

Thanks so much, all.
