For Thai–foreign couples, families and communities

An English class your Thai partner can host,
with the lessons already done

No English needed to host. No lesson plans to write. No stock to buy.
Many foreigners living in Thailand want to help their Thai partner build something of their own, close to home and without the risks of a shop or a stock of goods. CuppaThai gives them a ready-made English class to host: the lessons, native audio, avatar teacher, weekly homework, AI speaking scores and a dashboard that shows how every student is doing. Your partner hosts the room and keeps the students engaged. The system does the rest. Start with a handful of students and add more at any time.

Who does what
The class is hosted and run by your Thai partner, in their own community. You set it up and support it.
🏠The host (your Thai partner)
  • Invites the students and sets up a TV or screen, a basic microphone and a phone or laptop: the same kit as a karaoke night at home.
  • Guides the room. Class Mode speaks to the students in Thai, so the host does not need English.
  • Keeps the students coming back, using the teacher dashboard to see who is on track.
⚙️The system (CuppaThai)
  • Provides the whole course: 40 packs, 1,920 sentences, 960 question-and-answer sets, CEFR A to B1.
  • Sets the homework each week and scores every spoken attempt by AI, word by word.
  • Gives the host, the students and the school admin their own dashboards.

4
Start hosting
Any TV or screen, a basic mic, and a phone or laptop. The same setup as a karaoke night at home.
The same system full schools use
Everything below comes with the class. Optional Voice Lab top-up credits exist if a student wants more than the free monthly allowance, but nothing here requires buying anything extra.
📚
The complete course
40 packs open now, 1,920 sentences and 960 question-and-answer sets, mapped to Thai school years Mor 2 to Mor 5 (secondary grades 8 to 11) at 10 packs per grade. More packs are on the way. The same library full schools use, not a cut-down version.
📘
Grammar, not just phrases
Every lesson includes a Pattern Power grammar tab: 24 patterns per pack, each with the formula, a Thai explanation of when to use it, and two swap examples. Students learn the rule, not just the sentence. It is closed by default so class time stays focused on speaking.
🗣️
Lip-synced avatar lessons
Students watch a talking avatar lip-synced to native audio, on every sentence in the course.
📖
Offline lesson books
Each student gets their own Epub Learn English lesson book to prepare with, no internet needed.
📝
No lesson planning, ever
Homework is fully preprogrammed for every student. The host never writes a lesson plan.
🔊
Thai audio guides the class
Class Mode is guided entirely in Thai, so the host needs no English to run it and no training to start.
🎤
AI speaking scores, word by word
Every attempt a student speaks, in class or as homework, is scored by AI and appears on the host's dashboard. Not just a star rating: the system shows which words landed, which were unclear and which were not heard, and the student can tap a problem word to hear it correctly.
🔥
A dashboard students enjoy
Day streaks, stars and badges keep students coming back.
🎙️
Voice Lab and VOCAP included
150 free Voice Lab speaking attempts per student, refreshed every month, on top of the course's own lesson scoring. Plus VOCAP, a five-mode bilingual word game, unlimited and free.
👨‍🏫
The host's own dashboard
See every student's progress, PINs, homework completion, AI scores and a running grade for each student, all in one place.
🏫
School admin dashboard
For anyone running more than one class: manage host login codes, class rosters, student numbers and payment status from a single screen.
📅 Homework never pauses, even if a class is missed

Homework and AI grading run on the system's own weekly clock, not on whether a class actually happened. A student home sick never loses that week's homework or scoring.

🌱 Add students any time

The class is not locked to the students it starts with. New students can be added mid-month from the host's dashboard.

Frequently asked questions
Questions
Do we need to speak English, or Thai, to run this?

The host does not need English. Every sentence comes with native audio, Class Mode is guided entirely in Thai, and the homework is preprogrammed, so there is no lesson plan to write. The host's job is to guide the room and keep the students engaged. You do not need any Thai at all.

What do we need to set up physically?

Any TV or screen, connected to a phone or laptop with a cheap HDMI cable, plus a basic microphone. If the family already has a karaoke setup at home, that is everything. No dedicated classroom or special equipment is needed.

How much does it cost?

Send us an enquiry and we will reply with the current pricing and how to pay. There is no automatic renewal. The full terms, including refunds, are on the privacy, terms and refunds page.

Will this earn money?

We cannot promise any income. Whether and how a host charges families, and any local rules that apply to running a class, are the host's own decision and responsibility. What we provide is the lessons, homework, scoring and dashboards.

How much speaking practice does each student actually get?

Lesson scoring and Voice Lab are two different things, and neither is credit-metered. Lesson scoring is part of the course: every sentence in the month's pack is scored, with up to three tries per sentence. If a student is still stuck after three tries, a Special Pass moves them forward and points them to that sentence in their lesson book to review later, so nobody gets left behind on one sentence. Separately, every student gets 150 free Voice Lab attempts each month, to spend on any sentence in the catalogue. Unused free attempts do not roll over. VOCAP word games are unlimited. A student who wants more Voice Lab practice can buy top-up credits, which never expire.

What happens if a student keeps failing a sentence?

Every sentence allows up to three scored attempts. If a student has not passed by the third, the system issues a Special Pass automatically, moves them to the next sentence, and points them to that sentence's number in their lesson book so they can review it at their own pace. It is recorded separately on the host's dashboard, so the host can see at a glance who needed one and where.

Can students work ahead, or are they held to one pack per month?

The class as a whole moves one pack per month. That keeps everyone together and gives each month a clear finish line. Individual students are not locked out, though: a student who finishes the month's work can keep practising in Voice Lab, play VOCAP, or get started on the next pack. Pacing is a guide for the class, not a gate on the student.

What do the students start with?

Every new class starts at Pack 01, whatever the students' school grade. Pack 01 is a true starting point for any age, so a mixed-age village class can begin there and move forward together. The course is aligned to Thai school years, Mor 2 to Mor 5, with 10 packs per grade.

Is this just phrase memorisation, or do students learn grammar?

Both. Every lesson has a Pattern Power grammar tab: the student taps it and sees the formula behind the sentence, a Thai explanation of when to use it, and two swap examples that apply the pattern to different content. That is how students learn the rule, not just the sentence.
