Patti has a great proficiency in both English and Thai. She accommodated our request to work with two students at the same time. My friend and I are both at different proficiency levels.

My friend is Filipino, but he learned Thai through the Defense Language Institute. Patti formed a lesson that could test both of our skills and she gave us each homework that was suited to our levels. She was patient and very helpful. I'm looking forward to working with Patti again next week.
