New teacher review August 2023

I realized that I last posted a new teacher review a while ago. I had the pleasure of tutoring a new Thai student this past summer, and I am delighted to have positively impacted her learning. Please take a look at Zazie Beetz’s review below.

“I was planning a trip to Thailand that would last a few months, and I really wanted to get a feel for the language before arriving. I reached out to Titcha and she responded so quickly and was incredibly flexible with her scheduling. I wanted to study four days a week, and she accommodated me with no issue. Titcha molded the classes exactly to my needs, provided all of the materials for free, and made all of the study tools super accessible throughout the course. She keeps you organized, provides additional material as you learn, and continues to update study tools as new interests or helpful references come up. She is patient, kind, funny, and explains structure well. Since she is also from Thailand, we were able to discuss culture, colloquialisms, and travel tips very organically. I got so many ideas from her for my trip! It was incredibly fun to learn so many interesting details about Thai people and life. I am so glad that I found Titcha! I couldn’t have asked for a more personalized and positive learning experience. Dichan rak paa saa tai maak maak!”

Thai film at the New York Asian Film Festival 2022

May 2023 update: Fast and Feel Love is now on Netflix US.

I have been a fan of Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit, a Thai director for awhile now. In particular, I appreciate his dark humor and how his films make me ponder about life. His best works include Heart Attack (2015) and Happy Old Year (2019). His films and characters just linger, long after the final credit.

The good news is his latest film Fast and Feel Love will be showing at Lincoln Center on July 15, 2022 as a part of the New York Asian Film Festival. This is how to get a ticket: LINK to Lincoln Center Calendar.

I can’t wait.
