How It Works

From first click to first lesson

Getting started takes four steps: a level test, a tutor match, a plan you agree, and a first lesson booked for an evening that suits you.

1

Book a level test

A short online test and a conversation with us place you at the right starting point for your language.

2

Meet your tutor

We match you with a qualified native-speaking teacher for your language and the situations you need it for.

3

Agree your plan

You name the goal, from chairing a meeting in German to ordering dinner in Rome, and we write the plan down.

4

Learn and review

Lessons run in the evening, and your tutor updates the written plan as your confidence and vocabulary grow.

Meet your tutors

Tutors who stay with you from week one

Each tutor teaches their own native language, keeps a fixed set of students, and gets to know exactly what you need to work on.
