Our Foreign Languages Tutoring Approach

Our one-on-one approach gives language learners the individualized attention they need to succeed. We evaluate where your student is right now and tailor their lessons so they aren’t too advanced or too easy. This approach improves your student’s weak areas and reinforces their strengths, leading to long-term success in learning languages and beyond.

What Are the Benefits of Foreign Language Tutoring?

While foreign language learning takes place in the classroom, foreign language tutoring helps your student find success beyond mastering a new language.

Learn How to Learn

Foreign language teachers are often fluent in the language they teach, but they don’t always have the proper training to teach non-native speakers how to master the target language.

Foreign language tutors know how to teach study habits that help students retain and use their newfound language correctly. These tools and techniques often work in every subject, helping your child become a better student across the board.

Build a Strong Foundation

Getting a C at is enough to get your student to the next year of foreign language classes. But when they get there, your child may struggle because they lack a strong foundation to build on. They may become frustrated, angry, or quit.

Builds Confidence

Learning a foreign language takes a lot of time and practice – especially when it doesn’t come easily. But students who don’t quite “get it” may be hesitant to ask questions during class. In a one-on-one setting, a supportive, nonjudgmental tutor is there to support your student however they need and help them feel confident in the classroom.

Personalized Learning

Crowded classrooms aren’t the best learning environment for everyone, and even in a small group setting, some people may not learn their best. The teacher may move too quickly for some and too slowly for others. And often, teachers don’t have the time to offer individualized assistance.

A foreign language tutor can tailor the curriculum to meet your student’s needs and abilities. They can spend as much or as little time as a student needs and move at a pace that’s comfortable for your student while providing them with valuable and actionable feedback that helps them grow.

Investment in the Future

If college is in your student’s future, many require foreign language classes. Working with a foreign language tutor can help your student meet or even exceed those requirements. And knowing a foreign language (or two) can open opportunities your student never dreamed of, like studying abroad or working overseas.
