Private language lessons are the quickest and most intensive way to learn a language or to improve your language skills. The format of the lessons is totally determined by the needs and desires of the student. The hours of this course are flexible which makes it possible to book such a course together with another course option. Private Lesson Structure The participant has a great influence on the lesson. Therefore the individual lessons are structured in a different way. The teacher and the student focus on fields the student wants to improve. Such instruction is focused on objectives with a particular purpose, like for example to prepare for a lecture or interview, or for medical or legal jargon. In this case, you should inform us in advance so everything can be performed as desired. The costs may increase slightly compared with the normal form of individual lessons.
