This is directed at local Expats who have the responsibility of education of their biological or adopted children. Lately we have been asked by a number of families to provide reading and writing Thai classes for such children as they feel that their local public school is not doing a "proper job" in this area.
We are considering offering a quality Thai reading and writing class. Difficult to offer a schedule as the kids have local weekday school requirements but perhaps we could offer 4 hours on Saturday or Sunday or both. Say 2 hours morning... lunch break.. we provide lunch, then 2 hours again in afternoon.
If this is of interest, you can respond on the Forum or privately via PM or email to info@learningcentre.co.th
Supplementary Thai language classes for your kids.
Re: Supplementary Thai language classes for your kids.
Just a personal observation/comment, directed to parents as well. Kids need to be kids, especially those under the age of 12-13. 4 hours takes a huge bite out of their free time, and is in addition to time they need to spend on normal homework over the weekend. I would think 2 hours per weekend is enough IMO, and stays within the attention spam they can maintain at that age. Just my 2 satang. Pete

I personally think that you are probably right.... Just that a couple of our students are doing the 4 hour bit now... but right now we are trying to get a consensus...
Re: Supplementary Thai language classes for your kids.
You could always offer 2 hour and 4 hour options, where the main bulk of the actual study is done in the first two hours and the second two hours are for revision/practice/games based on what was covered in the first two.
