Koh Samui Language School

 

Koh Samui Tutor and Vocational School is Samui’s oldest licensed Thai and English Language School. With Thai and English owners, we take the finest aspects from both cultures and combine them to provide an unforgettable educational experience.

 

Our ability to provide education visas has helped us to create a stable learning environment for our students. Stable and secure working and learning environments are almost just as important as the teacher you have.

 

Our triple award winning educational institute is the most accredited, long running, successful language and vocational school in Samui. With almost 10,000 satisfied students to date, affordable courses, no hassle education visa service, and highly trained professional staff, we really are the first choice language school on Koh Samui.

Our Courses

 

Our brand new courses start in July.  Whether you’re looking to improve your conversation skills, study for IELTS, or start leaning Thai, we cater for all your educational needs.

Please browse our courses on our website for more information. You can then click the “Register” button to sign up for the class. Or, feel free to call in to our Maenam office to discuss your options in more detail and meet the teachers.

Cutting Edge Third Edition

 

We use the brand new Cutting Edge Third Edition for our English courses. Engaging texts, new video content, and a comprehensive digital package are just some of the new features that make the new courses even more effective. New features of the course include ‘Language Live’ and World Culture lessons that actively encourage students to expand their knowledge of global issues and participate in classroom discussions.

 

Keep motivated with a striking design and fresh new content

 

  • New ‘World Culture’ DVD lessons encourage the discussion of global issues and provide greater international perspective.
  • New writing lessons help with emails, letters, reports, etc.
  • The ActiveTeach with interactive whiteboard tools, DVD, audio, transcripts, dictionary and additional resources aid learning.

 

Improve quicker with more practise and better reference tools

 

  • The new ‘Study, Practise, Remember’ section at the back of the book provides integrated language summaries and practise exercises.
  • The ‘Student DVD’ with audio and video plus transcripts allows you to review the lessons and catch up if you miss a class.
  • The new feedback functionality and exercises in ‘MyEnglishLab’ give you greater control of your learning.

 

MyEnglishLab

 

MyEnglishLab is an online tool, provided for free with our new course books. You complete your face-to-face instruction at school to introduce new topics and ideas then complete extra learning outside class using the online tools.

 

You practise the content you have learned at school in an interactive environment, with instant feedback and tips to scaffold your learning.

 

Each activity is built into a lesson plan and helps you practise speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

 

MyEnglishLab builds assessment into each activity, so you don’t need to take sit-down tests every week in order to monitor your progress and performance.

 

You can use the MyEnglishLab gradebook to see where you need improvement and it helps us as teachers personalise your learning journey. With a quick look at the gradebook or common error report, teachers can ensure that we target your weak areas. MyEnglishLab will show us how you are performing, so we don’t need to guess what you’re finding difficult.

Pancake Day at KSTVS 
pancake day
Last Tuesday it was Pancake Day or Shrove Tuesday which we celebrated at our school. This traditional feast day is before the start of Lent,  a time of abstinence that lasts 40 days and ends at Easter.

Our great students in the pre-intermediate English class brought some delicious pancakes to class, which made studying ever better! Doesn’t it look delicious?!

Summer School Koh Samui

 

Our popular summer school is back and as great as ever! This 2-month all-inclusive ‘English Camp’ course is fun, enjoyable and educational.

Our success is due to our ability to teach children English, we make our camps fun with arts and crafts, games and once a week we go on a class trip. Our past trips have been to zoos, swimming pools, the beach, temples and many other fun places.

We use the Cambridge YLE (Young learners for English) ‘Kids Box’ textbook, which covers 3 levels. The idea is to create an environment for children to relax, have fun and enjoy learning.

For students 3-18 years old.

  • Fun and active learning
  • Easy to understand
  • Native speaking teachers

Activities

  • English conversation
  • Arts and crafts

Beginner Monday & Wednesday 10:00 ~ 12:00
Intermediate Tuesday & Thursday 10:00 ~ 12:00
Elementary Monday & Wednesday 13:00 ~ 15:00
Advanced Tuesday & Thursday 13:00 ~ 15:00
Pre-beginner Tuesday & Thursday 16:00 ~ 17:00

Our English courses cover the 6 levels corresponding with the European level of languages and so are broken up according to skill level. Those levels are

  • Beginner
  • Upper beginner
  • Lower intermediate
  • Intermediate
  • Upper intermediate
  • Advanced

When you enroll in your courses you will be invited to take part in our placement test. This comprehensive test will take roughly 1 hour long and provide us with enough information about your current ability and skill, therefore placing you in your best suited level.

Each class is split between conversational work and textbook work with 4 hours per week spent on each. The text books we work from are Pearson Longman published ‘Cutting Edge’ language book series.  The ‘Cutting Edge’ series works as a wide-ranging, European quality syllabus with a wide range of well-made teaching resources.

We do not give out these books but rather work from them however we strongly recommend you purchase this book from us or from the publisher directly as they are extremely useful to use when out of the classroom.

Our courses genially work on 1 level for 6 months, so a 200 hours would cover one full language level. We recommend you take part in one full course but taking smaller, 3 month 100 hour course is possible. However due to new rules the 100 hours would not prove adequate for 8 hours per week learning if you plan on staying here for 6 months or more.

We are fully committed to give you what you paid for. If you enroll with us when we are half way through a course then you are most welcome to join the current course and then overlap onto the next one for your paid for hours. For example if you paid for 100 hours and join 50 hours through the previous course, you will still be entitled to your remaining 50 hours in the next course.

Class Times:

Monday to Friday – 10am to 12pm and/or 1pm to 3pm

Price list:

100 hours (3 Months) – 19,500 TBH

200 hours (6months) – 29,000 TBH
