I've been having lessons with หม่อม for almost a year now for the purpose of retention of conversational Thai. She's been brilliantly helpful. It took me a little while to figure out why she's so effective - I think her enthusiasm about whatever topics we have, her gentle addition of vocabulary that I hardly even notice but then integrate almost immediately (as if she's simply restating what I just said with other words), and the natural flow of conversation all contribute to an hour that flies by. My Thai language centers are jolted back to activity, and I feel very much like I'm chatting with a friend, sharing cultural tidbits, comparing national curricula, examining pedagogical modalities, and finding comparable idioms. And there you see it - she masterfully guides the conversations such that I learn these idioms in Thai and learn new vocabulary to discuss the advanced topics. I've also just started watching the YouTube channel she has linked, which is also excellent!
