About TLC

Achieved a reward of Excellent Internal Quality System from the Office of the Private Education Commission

We are licensed by the Ministry of Education and our curriculums have been approved by them as suitable for fast assimilation of a new language.

Our Story

We were established in 2008

We have served thousands of students since then. Many of our students return year after year – they are our best recommendation. And unlike many language schools in Thailand, most of our teachers have been with us from the start. They have forged strong relationships with the students who even when they return to their homeland, keep in regular contact through social media. And they always recommend our teachers to their friends.

Our class rooms offer congenial surroundings where students feel at home and relaxed – and in the mood for learning. In addition we regularly offer culture trips whereby students can use the language they have learned in real time situations. We visit tourist destinations and engage in practical activities involving Thai cuisine, Muay Thai boxing, visits to temples or handicraft making.
