Real stories from real people

Michael I.

79 Language lessons

This is both interesting and also acts as a way to relate to the language because if you know where a word or concept comes from you will be able to remember it easier. On a personal level, Reem is also great! She genuinely cares about her students and treats them as individuals who each have their own goals with the language and have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Dina F.

78 Language lessons

We have had 4 sessions with Carlo and feel like we have learned a lot about the Italian language. Actually using the language will take much more practice and experience! He teaches us at a good pace and is very flexible with his schedule to accommodate our schedules which sometimes requires adjustment for work reasons. He changes up the exercises to get us to keep thinking and learning. He is also good with immediate feedback on pronunciations of the words.
Vero C.

1 Language lesson

Although I only had one lesson so far, I can already tell that Marc has all the most important qualities that a great language teacher needs: patience, discipline, personality, and passion. He is also a very interesting person who has plenty of things to talk about for fun yet profound conversations (in French, of course), which I think is the key to mastering any foreign language. I am certain that he will be tremendously helpful as long as I keep working with him.
