Who is it for?

Private lessons are suitable for motivated students who want to learn in a goal-oriented way and at their own pace. You may want to get to know the language, raise your level, speak or write more confidently, or prepare for a concrete moment such as an important conversation, exam or presentation. You are also willing to invest structural time and want to not only master the language better, but also be able to use it effectively in different situations. You are motivated to actively practice outside of class to make faster progress.

For me, there is nothing more fulfilling than making a real connection with someone in their native language. As Nelson Mandela famously said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart”. And if I can play just a small part in helping you get there, then my day is made!

My lessons are all about the students. What do they want to learn? What do they need to achieve their goals? I believe it’s important to combine hard work with fun. A lesson without laughter is a lesson not learnt!
