We are a group of highly trained and motivated professionals, dedicated to making the learning of foreign languages rewarding and enjoyable for each and every one of our students. We are all native speakers of foreign languages ourselves, and are therefore able to engage our students effortlessly. We are enthusiastic about teaching foreign languages the way they are spoken in the real world, and care about each individual student’s goals, progress, and learning style.  Our underlying teaching principle is ’Learning by Doing’ – by this we mean that the student will be speaking the new language from the first class on. We provide each and every student with as much active speaking practice as possible, guided by our staff, who are most caring, understanding, and sensitive.  Remember, we have been all through the same process in reverse … we know what it feels like!
