Kru Siri is great at what she do. I believe she is one of the best teachers on this platform. Very kind, patient and organized. After memorizing the Thai alphabet on my own, she helped transition my knowledge into reading and understanding the principles of the unique language. I wouldn't be able to excel without her assistance. I would highly recommend her without any hesitation.
