Здравствуйте!)
Мой опыт обучения в этой школе.
Я была в шоке от преподавателя.
В плохом смысле слова.
К самой школе претензий нет.
На ресепшн все были милы, приветливы, ответили на все вопросы, и всегда помогали по мере наступления вопросов.
Тем больше было мое удивление на уроке!
Уже с первого дня я обнаружила некомфортную обстановку в классе: ощущение, что преподаватель отсиживает свои часы, и мы его утомляем.
Преподаватель постоянно в телефоне, все время смотрит, когда же закончится урок? заканчивает занятие на несколько минут раньше, до звонка.
Не поддерживает разговор во время урока, делает вид, что не услышал тебя, не поправляет, не исправляет ошибки.
Начинает отчитывать, и с ним невозможно вступить в диалог, он использует свое превосходство в знании языка. Никогда не использовал доску, мне приходилось уточнять слово, показывая из своей тетрадки.
Очень грубый, грубо разговаривает. Очень часто употребляет слово stupid, в том числе и по поводу учебника, по которому мы занимаемся. Зачем нам эта информация? И другие, плохие слова.
Не разрешает пользоваться кондиционером и светом в классе. Однажды наехал на одногруппницу, когда она включила свет. Он был очень груб с ней.
Совершенно не готовился к урокам, когда открывал учебник, запинался, читая задание. Ощущение, что в первый раз видел учебник.
По утрам был постоянно сонный, несобранный, зевал. Настроение резко менялось. Он сказал, что у него диабет 1 типа, связываю это с его заболеванием.
Если честно, после 2 дней занятий, я шла на учебу с тяжелым сердцем.
Я уже проходила курсы в другой школе за границей, и видела вовлеченность преподавателя, которую здесь совершенно не увидела. Т.к. наш преподаватель имел PhD, и сказал, что больше ни у кого в этой школе этой степени нет, я была очень удивлена его преподаванием.
Надеюсь, что у других он преподает по другому.
Я столкнулась с этим!

Мы расстроены данным отзывом и приняли меры сразу же. Учитель, упомянутый в отзыве, больше не работает в Языковой школе Патонг.
Мы сожалеем, что данный учитель потенциально испортил репутацию всех наших учителей и школы в целом. Мы хотели бы заверить каждого, кто читает этот отзыв, что это не представляет наши стандарты или наши цели. Языковая школа Патонг предоставляет языковые услуги уже 40 лет, и в это время мы трудоустроили много учителей английского, некоторые выдающиеся, средние, а также те, кто не соответствует нашим стандартам, как в этом случае.
Мы приносим искренние извинения этому студенту, чье время в школе было испорчено данным учителем. Мы надеемся, что однажды мы будем иметь возможность видеть Вас снова на Пхукете и исправить нашу ошибку.

So, first of all I'ld like to say "Thanks a lot everyone for this unforgettable experience!" My teacher was Oliver and hi is really amazing, professional, friendly and patient person. His classes were filled knowledge, practical tasks and humor. He paid attention to every student. Every day we practiced our listening, speaking, reading skills. My English level has definitely improved, especially my speaking skills. Because the teacher manages to create an easy and relaxed atmosphere in the classroom.
I will definitely come back to this school next time!!! Thank you!!!

This class was a last minute add for us during out time in Phuket and we're so happy we did it! 10/10 would learn again. Our class was nice and small, so we had a lot more practice time in class. Our teacher was GREAT!! Loved her. She went above and beyond the material and answered all of our many questions. I really enjoyed how many examples she gave so we could understand things more in depth and not just reading the textbook.
Location was pretty great as well! We didn't stay in the area, but since it was so close to the beach it meant a morning in class and afternoon reviewing on the beach. Classroom was nicely sized for our group, with a well working AC unit.

"Nice school, some lessons were fun, other a bit less interesting"
Anja Ensing,

The organization of the school was very good. The location was fine, also the school facilities.
I liked the first 2 hours of the lessons (speak), the teacher did a good job. She asked the students questions on their own level, so she makes you confident in given the answers.
I found The second part of the lessons a bit disappointment (read &write), the lessons were a bit boring, for example for learning the tones, the book gave examples of words you never gonna use, I think it would be more nice, to learn to write the words you learned in the previous lessons.
I find it hard to answer the questions, for example: would you recommend the school to other people, a bit mixed feelings…
Rattanaporn Pimsuwan, General Manager at Patong Language School responded to this review. 23 February 2023
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
When you made your booking, we advised (before confirming the booking) that you would be joining the fourth and final week of a Level 1, 4-week, Thai Intensive Course. You said that this would not be a problem, as you are not a complete beginner.
From your review, it appears that this did become a problem, as you were unable to fully participaqte in the read and write Thai classes.
To avoid similar problems for future students, we will no longer accept bookings that do not coincide with the course start date.
We wish you continued success in your Thai studies and thank you again for choosing Patong Language School.

A great, friendly classroom with students from all over the world. The young students have senior fully accepted me. The teacher, Charlotte Kings has excellent teaching material and interesting mediated. The classrooms and their equipment are good and practical. In addition to the lessons we had no social activities, but this is not a problem and I did not expect it. The Hotel Hillside was not particularly well organized or connected to the school. I can't understand why this hotel, which is 3 kilometers away from the school.

I am very satisfied. The school is located in a very quiet residential area. Inside there are many services: bar, free Wi-Fi, sale of notebooks, pens, bags, books. The staff is very helpful. They helped me always. I was lucky because we were the only two in the classroom. The teacher explained very well the arguments, let the time for my questions and always made it clear my doubts. In addition to traditional exercises and explaining the content, I can say that the teacher interacted a lot with me though, I honestly would have liked to interact even more. I'm sorry I did only 2 weeks. I will definitely return to finish the form of 4 weeks. 2 are missing! Finally, I thank Sarah Bunker advised me that the course suited my needs!

"The student is wondering if he is able to study for 6 months. Is this possible?"
Dyan Test,

Rattanaporn Pimsuwan,
Patong Language School 的工作人员
Our Elementary level English for All course takes 13 weeks to complete. If
the student wants to study for longer than that, he could then take the
Pre-Intermediate level course, which takes 12 weeks to complete - so that
would be 25 weeks in total.

"Do you accept students below the minimum required level? Can you help the student get a visa?"
Rattanaporn Pimsuwan,
Patong Language School 的工作人员
If the student's level is beginner, he could first take our 4 week Beginner
level group class and then join the Elementary level class for the
remaining 12 weeks.
Regarding the visa, we can certainly help them
with this but bear in mind it takes around 3-4 weeks to prepare the
paperwork for an ED visa.

"Can the student take this course being High Intermediate level?"
Rattanaporn Pimsuwan,

Pre-Intermediate is the highest level available in our English group classes, so unfortunately it won't be possible for the student to join if they are High Intermediate level.

Katrin katrin,

Rattanaporn Pimsuwan,

We can assist the student in obtaining an ED visa to study with us if he
studies for 12 weeks. We would prepare the visa application paperwork and
then post it to him so he can apply at a Thai embassy/consulate. Please do
note that it takes around 4-6 weeks to get the letter from the Ministry of
Education plus you have to account for extra postage time (for him to send
documents to us and for us to send the final paperwork to him). If that's
going to take too long for him, he could instead apply for a tourist visa
at a Thai embassy/consulate before he comes here, which will give him 60
days plus he can extend it a further 30 days when in Phuket - giving him 3
months in total.

March is in high season, so 2 weeks will be charged at the high
season rate. April-May is low season in Phuket, so the remaining 6 weeks
would be charged at the low season rate.

"I noticed that the average age of the students is 16. Is this correct. The student is a Senior and would like to know if there are students his age 50-60 years old? Does the student need a visa?"
Katrin katrin,
学生表格 德国
Rattanaporn Pimsuwan,
Patong Language School 的工作人员
The minimum age of our students is 16 years old. I would guess the average
age is around 25 years old but we do certainly get Senior students coming
through because we don't have a maximum age limit.
I can see that the student has indicated that he will need a visa. He won't
be eligible for an ED visa as he is studying for less than 12 weeks, so
please let him know that he should apply for a tourist visa at the Thai
embassy before he comes to Thailand.
这有帮助吗? 是Thank You!
Becky Taylor,
Patong Language School school representative (Coordinator)
We didn't enter an average age so perhaps the system defaulted to the minimum age, which is 16 years old. The average student age is around 26-30 years old but we certainly have students who are over 50 years old.
Visa requirements depend on nationality and length of stay, so you should check with the Thai embassy if the student will need a visa for their stay.

Please take a look at our accommodation listings - there are 4 separate
listings. There is one for low season (April to September), two for high
season (October to November and then February to March) and one for peak
season (December to January). In Phuket accommodation prices change
depending on the time of year. If the student plans to come in April, you
need to use the low season (April to September) accommodation listing.
The hotel address is 257/2 Nanai Road, Patong Beach, Phuket.

We do not have any childcare facilities, so it would be best for the
student to bring someone to take care of the child while she is attending
her lessons. All of the rooms listed are double-occupancy and have either 1 double or 2
single beds.
