American English Teacher & Study Abroad Consultant in Bangkok
Hi, I am Ricky Solon. I am an American English teacher based in Bangkok, Thailand. For over 20 years, I have helped professionals and students around the world speak English with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
As an American living in Thailand, I understand the unique challenges Thai students face when learning English — and I offer something most teachers cannot: authentic American English combined with deep knowledge of Thai culture and education.

My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that every student has the ability to speak English confidently — they just need the right teacher, the right method, and the right amount of encouragement.
My lessons are practical, focused on real-world communication, and tailored to your specific goals. Whether you need to ace a job interview, lead international meetings, or simply have a conversation without freezing — I have a plan for you.
I do not believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. In our first lesson, I assess your current level, identify your specific challenges, and build a personalized roadmap to your goals.
