Our approach to second language learning and teaching emphasizes communication and meaningful interaction as the main goals of instruction, with a focus on developing learners’ ability to use language for real-life purposes.
Â
Communication: learning a language requires language use and not only language study. Communication should be the goal of language instruction.
Interaction: authentic and meaningful communication can only be achieved through interaction. Pair and group work should be prioritized in classroom activities.
Context: learners should be made aware of how to use language accurately and fluently, but also in a way that conforms to social and contextual norms.
Integration: competent language users are able to use all the language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing). Instruction on these skills should be integrated from the beginning.
Errors: language learning is a process of creative construction and involves trial and error. Errors should be viewed as stepping stones for development.
Materials: classroom materials and activities should reflect real-life situations and tasks, with a focus on social functions as well as linguistic structures.
Teachers: teachers should be viewed as facilitators and use their skills to manage interactions among learners while providing the necessary input and feedback.
Motivation: motivation plays a critical role in the successful acquisition of a foreign language. Classroom activities should reflect the interests and wants of the learners.
Personalisation: every learner is different and individual learning needs and preferences should be given priority when planning and delivering lesson.
Whether you’re an accountant, marketer, or project manager, our Business Individual Tuition programmes are designed to help you develop the language skills you need to succeed in the business world.

INDIVIDUAL TUITION FAQs
All your questions answered
Group lessons
There are a maximum of 12 students in a class. We believe in keeping classes as small as possible so that you can have more opportunities to practise and interact, and more personal attention.
Â
Private lessons
Private lessons can be on a 1:1 individual basis (1 teacher with 1 learner) or in small private groups on a 1:2 (1 teacher with 2 learners), 1:3, 1:4, etc. basis. Learners applying for private groups must be from the same group of friends, colleagues, etc. and be at the same level of language proficiency.
Students come from all over the world with a majority from Asia and Europe. But we also have plenty of students from Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. Our aim is to create a balanced mix of nationalities in each class and allow you to practise English, learn about different cultures and become more confident in a globalised world.
Group lessons
Before your course, we will assess your level of English via a placement test. This is to ensure that you join a class that matches your language abilities and where you can maximise your opportunities for learning. We also take into consideration age and nationality to ensure classes are balanced and aligned with everyone’s needs.
Â
Private lessons
Before your course, we will carry out a needs analysis to assess your level of proficiency (via a placement test) and understand your specific needs and goals. As lessons are custom-made, you will let us know what language skills and topics you prefer to focus on.
Of course! Some of our courses are delivered 100% online to allow you to join from anywhere in the world. Please visit our Online English page to find out more.
Certainly! We have a rich after-class social programme with visits to places of interest, excursions, nights out and day trips.

It depends on the duration of your course. A student/educational visa is only required if you study in Thailand for more than 3 months.
Â
SHORT COURSES (less than 3 months)
Most of our overseas students enrolled on short courses enter and leave Thailand on a tourist visa according to the duration they are granted on arrival (typically 30 days) or at the Thai embassy/consulate in their country (typically 30-60-90 days). Different countries have different immigration agreements with the Thai government, and we suggest checking with the Thai embassy/consulate in your country to find out whether you can be granted a tourist visa on arrival (and its duration) or you need to apply for it in advance. Some students, for example, decide to apply for a longer tourist visa (typically 60 days) in advance when they intend to study for longer periods or extend their stay after the course for travelling.
Â
LONG COURSES (more than 3 months)
Overseas students applying for courses longer than 3 months are required to apply for a student/educational visa. International House can help you with the application. Please visit our Student Visa page to find out eligibility, requirements and the application process.

INDIVIDUAL TUITION STUDENTS
Your experience matters
This is a very professional school. We sat down to discuss what I wanted, and the lessons fully met my requirements. The teacher was also very flexible and adapted to my changes as we went along.
I took private lessons to better interact with foreign clients and I’m very happy with the improvement I made. Role-plays with the teacher were the best. They gave me a lot of confidence.
I highly recommend private lessons at International House. I came to learn how to write a CV and prepare for an interview and made massive improvement in a very short time.
I really liked that the teacher was there for me and I got direct feedback on my English. It’s also a great solution if your schedule is very busy and you need flexibility.
