Edulom arranges private tutoring for families in Bangkok, one tutor to one student. This page is written for the person on the other side of a programme: the head of department weighing up whether outside tutors are worth the disruption, the student affairs officer looking for paid work an undergraduate can hold without losing a term, the HR lead whose new hire lands in November with two children stranded halfway through a syllabus.
We started here recently, so everything below describes how a programme runs and what we put in writing before it starts. Judge the offer on those terms.
Three ways this works
Who we work with, and what we actually do for them
Each of the three has a different first question, so each gets a different answer. The thread running through all of them is that we teach towards a syllabus somebody else has set.
Schools: teaching that follows your scheme of work
A tutor is briefed on the school, the subject, the year group and the term before the first session. In an international school that means the programme in front of the student: IB PYP, MYP or DP, IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, or AP. In a Thai school it means the national core curriculum as your teachers deliver it, from ป.1 through ม.6, including the ม.6 year with O-NET and the TCAS papers sitting in it.
We do not run a curriculum of our own alongside yours. If your scheme of work moves, the tutoring moves with it.
Universities and student bodies: work a student can genuinely hold
Tutoring is one of the few paid jobs a full-time undergraduate can take without wrecking a timetable, and the students who are good at it are usually the ones who were recently sitting the same paper. A career centre or a faculty student body can carry our openings. What we send is the plain shape of the work: subject, level, district, hours per week, and how pay is calculated.
Openings live on our tutor pages, and a role stays listed only while we are genuinely taking applications for it.
Employers and residents’ communities: families arriving mid-year
A child who lands in Bangkok in August steps into a syllabus that began in another country, sometimes in another language of instruction. The common case is a move between the Thai system and IGCSE or IB in either direction, with a gap in one or two subjects that nobody has had time to measure. We can measure it first and write down what we find.
The diagnosis comes before any commitment to a term of lessons, and the family keeps the written result either way.
The planning constraint nobody mentions
Two school years run side by side in Bangkok
A programme designed around one calendar lands in the wrong week of the other. Tell us which one you are on and we schedule backwards from your report dates and exam dates.
Thai national schools
The academic year opens in mid-May and runs to March, with the long break in April. Demand for tutoring builds towards the end of each semester and again before O-NET and the TCAS papers.
International schools
The academic year opens in August. Arrivals cluster in July and August, and the families who need help fastest are the ones who changed curriculum in the move.
How a programme runs
What we commit to, step by step
We have no track record in Thailand to point at, so the honest thing to show you is the mechanism. Every step below is something you can check while the programme is running.
01
You tell us the syllabus and the term
School, subject, year group, the exam if there is one, and the week it has to land in. A tutor is assigned after that, never before.
02
One tutor, one student
The same person each week. No rotating pool, and no quiet substitution of a group class for the one-to-one hours you agreed.
03
The first session is a diagnosis
The tutor works through material the student has already been taught, to find where the ground gives way. The written result goes to the parent, and to your coordinator for students inside the programme.
04
Every session leaves a written record
What was covered, what is still shaky, what comes next. The notes exist so a parent or a coordinator can argue with them.
05
The fee is in writing before the first class
Stated in baht, per hour, with travel and any materials named in the same document. Rates for Thailand are still being set, and the figure reaches you before a tutor is scheduled.
06
A tutor who does not fit is replaced at no cost
The request goes through your coordinator and we do not charge for the changeover. A match that misses is our mistake to carry.
07
One page per student at the end of term
A summary your coordinator can read in a minute and file: what was attempted, what moved, what we would do differently next term.
Stated plainly
What this page will never carry
A partnerships page is the easiest page on any tutoring site to inflate, so here is the boundary in advance.
A logo used as an endorsement. Working together does not mean an institution recommends us to its parents. If a partner ever wants to say that publicly, they say it in their own words, on their own site, and we link to it.
A partner count. We have none to publish in Thailand, and a number assembled from meetings and introductions would be a number about nothing.
Testimonials written for the occasion, or a quote attributed to a coordinator who did not write it.
Figures about ourselves whose basis we cannot show you: student totals, tutor totals, ratings, years in this market.
Before you write to us
Questions institutions ask first
We have never worked with you. Is there a way to start small?
Yes, and it is the way we prefer. One subject, one term, a handful of students who are already flagged as needing support, with a written summary at the end that belongs to the school whether or not the programme continues. That is enough time for you to watch the session notes accumulate and decide on the evidence in front of you.
Do tutors teach on our campus, or at the student’s home?
Both, and online where distance makes weekly travel unreasonable. In person we cover the Bangkok districts our tutors can reach reliably, including Watthana, Sathon, Bang Rak, Bang Kho Laem, Huai Khwang, Bang Na, Saphan Sung and Don Mueang, and out into Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan and Pathum Thani. Chiang Mai and Phuket are served online.
Which syllabuses can your tutors actually follow?
IB PYP, MYP and DP; IGCSE; Cambridge AS and A Level; AP; and the Thai national core curriculum from ป.1 to ม.6 together with O-NET and the TCAS papers, meaning TGAT, TPAT and the A-Level papers run by ทปà¸. When a request falls outside that, we say so, and we keep our tutors off syllabuses they would be learning on your students.
What does it cost, and who pays?
Rates for Thailand are still being set, so there is no price list on this site yet. When your programme is scoped, the hourly figure in baht, the travel terms and the invoicing arrangement go to you in one document before the first session. Families pay directly in most arrangements; a school or employer can be billed centrally when that is what you want.
Who owns the session notes, and what happens to student data?
The parent receives every note. Your coordinator receives copies for students inside the programme. We do not publish a student’s name, work or results anywhere, and we do not use a child’s progress as marketing material, in any form, at any point.
Can our students tutor for Edulom?
Yes. Undergraduates and recent graduates apply through the tutor page, and a career centre is welcome to circulate the openings. We screen on the subject and level someone can genuinely teach, which is usually narrower than the subjects they studied.
Start with a conversation, not a contract
Tell us the syllabus, the year group and the term you are worried about. We will come back with what a programme would look like, in writing, including the parts we cannot do.
