Our classes meet once a week for 1.5 hours or 2 hours. Sessions are ongoing and students may join at anytime as long as their proficiency level meets the level of the class.

Your own personal language instructor - choose to have one of our qualified instructors come right to you or enjoy the comfort and convenience of our downtown Bethesda location. Your one-on-one sessions may serve as customized tutoring sessions, conversation practice, test preperation, or even to help you prepare for a trip abroad.

Private lessons are a great option for those students who are learning a language with an specific goal in mind or those who prefer the one-on-one instruction without distractions. Lessons can be arranged for one student or more (friends or family members). Private lessons allow the student or students to focus on any aspect that they would like to study — for example, conversational skills, grammar, cultural exposure, certain vocabulary, or the like; or simply learn a language in a private setting.

Many students choose the convenience and flexibility of private lessons because they can schedule them on the day and time they choose. Private lessons also allow the student to have more control over what she would like to learn or review.
