Online Language Course
Due to the Covid 19 school closures we have transitioned in great part to online language course with smooth and encouraging results.
There are 1-on-1 online lessons over video chat and Zoom remote group classes. Our teachers are native, experienced professionals that will provide you with personalized programming, anytime and anywhere. With this new flexibility you will learn to speak the target language with confidence and get immediate feedback on your speech and pronunciation. Wanna learn? Keep an open mind and enjoy the increased teacher/student time and the access to expertise that this means affords you when live classes are imposssible.
