What Our Students Say

After I started studying here, my first impression was how dedicated the teacher was - explaining things clearly and in detail, and helping me improve my Thai speaking skills.

Huang Yu Ting

Yu Yung-Ying

The vibe at Duke was so energetic. Everyone was smiling and full of passion. Of course, the English classes were interesting. It wasn’t just mechanical test-focused classes. It felt like I was truly studying the language. I learned both the language and the culture. That made studying more fun and meaningful.

Lee Yong Hun
Intermediate English Course

I liked the teaching style of the Duke school teachers from the first lessons. They are hardworking, they know how to explain and listen to us competently, giving us the opportunity to speak out. In 8 months I have changed 4 teachers and I can confidently say that each of them does their job well, but at the same time has their own unique charm.

Egor Kliemenko
Upper-intermediate English Course

Before starting the class, I also had doubts about sitting in a class taught entirely in Thai while having no knowledge of it at all, but the first class proved to me that the teaching method works and works well. On top of that, I thought the class was sanuk, funny, and very much pleasurable. We have so much fun (and laughter) learning Thai.

Zhao Xing
Explorer 1 Thai Course

My first impression was that the class was so much fun! Language classes are usually boring to me. I never expected learning Thai to be this enjoyable. The teacher always encourages us to speak Thai in class. After the first class, I was able to introduce myself with some basic Thai already!

Yang Mingjie

The teachers are very dedicated. They work really hard to teach us Thai, and they are very kind and friendly.
