Killing Me Softly 101 · 22nd February 2008, 02:43

I have been to AUA.
I have hired 3 tutors. All 3 had degrees, one spoke 4 languages and had an MA in Linguistics. She was/is the best. Learned more from her in 50 hours than in four AUA courses.
I had already learned the thai alphabet.
But alas she is in Pattaya.
Mostly teaches ex-bar girls the languages of their new atm machines (I mean Husbands). PM me if you want her name.
She charges 4500 baht a month (one hour per day M through F).
Due to her usual clients that is all upfront. (Many of the girls are brought in by their significant others who pay the bill and fly out and she never sees either of them again.). Pretty good gig if you can get it.
She is however an outstanding teacher.
I have always found classes too slow for me. Also some foreigner rambling on for hours over something I already know.
Maybe I am just to impatient.
