Rumour floating around that a well-known language school is for sale. Someone quite ill.

After cruising around Hua Hin for some years and being particularly interested in the Education scene, I am amazed by the number of unlicensed schools offering English classes (mostly with a Thai teachers). Also surprised seeing a licenced school now offering Norwegian course (with a Thai teacher) a...

I was delighted to hear that the The Learning Centre is opening a school in Pranburi. Have many friends in the Pranburi / Pak Nam Pra area who I have heard comments over the past year or so of the lack of a language school, both for themselves and their kids, in the area. And having to travel to Hua...

They also think of opening Year 7 in 2015, but they need at least 15 requests from parents of 10-11 year old children (who will be 11-12 year old the next year). They currently have around 10 requests. So if anyone is interested of putting his/her child to Year 7 of this international school the ne...

Just a friendly warning...
I know of 3 farangs offering private lessons who were deported this year for working without a Work Permit.
Don't forget that there are Thais who read this and other forums.... also some jealous farangs.

Just the opinion of an old lady who likes to intrude in such things.... This school, in my opinion, is the most highly regarded and respected language school in the area. From seamus72 comments, he was aware that the management people were absent for medical reasons. In my opinion he should have PM'...

For sure, I am no expert in such things but the first thought that came to my Kiwi head was to respond to the question posed by whatever means are available and make an appointment to .ee him/her.

Can anyone recommend a 1 to 1 qualified teacher to teach English to a Thai ( reading & writing only ) starting from basics. A couple of lessons a weeks for about 4 months ? Cheers. Hi Seamus, I am a qualified teacher and will gladly help you out.... Jack Sprat.. Be aware that the Tourist Police...

Many times I have spoken to expat friends and they often voice the problem of communicating with their partners. And ditto for me to communicate with them.
This sounds great and at such a low price.
Can the teacher communicate in both Thai and English?

Exactly DM - and if you read the OP's other posts they seem to have an agenda with language schools Quote OP reply : Hardly hearsay when it came out of the mouth of and Immigration official who was present when the school bosses were called in.

Hardly hearsay when it came out of the mouth of and Immigration official who was present when the school bosses were called in.

In fact, I heard more about this from another source. One that I consider 100% reliable.

Anyone who has read any of my past posts will know that I am a snoopy old lady. Anyhow, whilst I was at local Immigration last week, one of the staff that I communicate quite well with, mentioned that the bosses of two local language schools were under investigation regarding the issue of documents ...

I see that a particular language school is now offering Ed Visa for about 1/3 of the norm. In addition, for a payment to Immigration of Baht 12,000, they will get you a 12 month Extension To Stay. My understanding is that such schools can only offer 3 monthly extensions. Is this legal? Then again, T...

I think I know where you mean. I have also visited there. Owner manages a local guest house and told me that she only drops into the school now and then. Personality, I did not like her attitude and eventually enrolled at WECI. Note that I said personality.. she may be great but not my cup of tea.
