Aviation English Teacher in Thailand
ICAO-Standard English for Pilots & Air Traffic Controllers
Ricky Solon is a native American English teacher in Bangkok specializing in Aviation English. Whether you need to pass your ICAO English proficiency test or improve your operational communication, Ricky's lessons are tailored to your specific aviation role.
Why Aviation English Requires a Specialist Teacher
Aviation English is not standard English. It requires mastery of ICAO phraseology, radiotelephony procedures, plain language communication, and the ability to handle non-routine situations under pressure. A general English teacher cannot prepare you for this.
Ricky Solon has worked with Thai pilots, co-pilots, and air traffic controllers to help them achieve ICAO Level 4, 5, and 6 ratings. His lessons focus on the specific language functions tested in ICAO evaluations: pronunciation, structure, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and interactions.
Whether you're a cadet preparing for your first ICAO test or an experienced pilot seeking to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5, Ricky's structured approach will get you there efficiently.
