Say hello to the affordable IELTS LIVE ONLINE program—your go-to online course for conquering the IELTS Academic and General Training exams! Led by the enthusiastic Dr. Ryan James Whitehouse, better known as Kru Jaem, this initiative at Thinkin Cafe is all about providing high-quality instruction at a price that won’t break the bank, making it perfect for learners from all walks of life.
Born in 1987 in Auckland, New Zealand, Kru Jaem’s educational adventure kicked off at Edmonton Primary School and continued at Rangeview Intermediate. A standout moment? A memorable two-week student exchange trip to Singapore and Japan! “It was an eye-opening experience,” he says, highlighting how vital cultural exposure is for young minds. At Rutherford High School, he formed lifelong friendships with international students from Brazil, China, and Taiwan, believing that his cultural sensitivity helped create a welcoming atmosphere. “Understanding different cultures is essential for building connections,” he emphasizes.
Currently rocking the educational scene in Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand, the IELTS LIVE ONLINE course is gearing up to expand into Japan and South Korea! “We’re thrilled to empower Thai learners to enhance their leadership skills and seize new opportunities,” he shares. Since kicking off his teaching career in 2008, Kru Jaem has earned a stellar reputation, with specialized training in IELTS instruction from IDP Australia and a TEFL certification from the London Teacher’s Training College. His knack for connecting with students from diverse backgrounds is bolstered by his ability to speak Thai and his rich multicultural experiences.
After spending two decades in Chiang Mai, Thailand, he saw a pressing need for quality English language support while pursuing a Master’s in Educational Administration at Assumption University. “I think later on I’ll study Classical English since IELTS has impacted me so much,” he muses.
The IELTS LIVE ONLINE program covers all four essential skills for the IELTS exam: Writing, Speaking, Reading, and Listening. With a blend of live online sessions and recorded materials, students enjoy a flexible learning experience tailored to their needs. Plus, a placement test ensures everyone gets grouped by their proficiency levels. “Seeing students reach their goals is incredibly fulfilling,” he adds.
Kru Jaem founded Thinkin Cafe in Khon Kaen, Thailand, to tackle the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, starting with English language classes. Looking back, he reflects, “It was a tough time for many, but our perseverance has truly paid off.”
