English language tutorial school has gained currency in the field of English as a Second Language Teaching (ESL), leading to increasing attention in research and practices regarding the language teaching and learning in tutorial schools.The present study addressed two questions: What are the teaching methods employed in an English language tutorial school, and what are the students' and teachers' perceptions towards such methods? By examining the teaching methods in an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) tutorial school in Thailand, and how the teachers and learners perceive such methods; this study found that an orderly eclectic teaching method was employed, and the student's and the teachers' perceptions towards the method varied considerably. The result of this study suggested that there should be a combination of both traditional teaching methods and contemporary ones.
