What kinds of courses and programs do you offer?
At Bubble Language School (BLS), we teach a range of categories. Our first process point is to identify the student’s goal be it an application abroad, an IELTS test, or hoping to improve their spoken and written abilities in English.

Students learn better in relaxed, stress-free environments. In line with Finnish educational methodologies, and what we have collectively collected in roughly 60 years of experience [combined], Bubble Language School hopes to improve any person who walk its floors.
We offer customized classes, syllabi, and course outlines based on Pearson and Longman’s massive ELT series, cross-checked with BBC, and Pearson and Longman’s Global Scale of English (which is essentially a breakdown of the CEFR).
Most of our classes are privately one-on-one. As we as a species move to more active engagement together in physical spaces, we’re opening up our English, Thai, and reading/discussion group classes, with our highlight being:
Confidence Building Workshops
