Individual or group lessons?
Both options are excellent. Yet, depending on your work, personality and learning style, one of them might be more suitable for you. Here are few things to consider:
Individual lessons
-
The lessons can be personalized and reflect exactly what you want or need.
-
Your lesson time can be scheduled around your life and work.
-
You can work on sensitive work-related material that you don’t want to share with a class.
Group lessons
-
Educational material adapted to your personal goals.
-
Learning in a group can take the pressure off of you.
-
Interacting with your classmate is highly effective for your language development.

Sofia is an inspirational and passionate teacher! She's also very understanding and adaptable to your needs. Thanks to the Language and Motivation method, you will explore a new way of learning a language that is both fun and challenging! I have already taken the 3-month course for French and I am continuing to another one, so I strongly recommend her 🙂 My only regret is not having started the lessons earlier. So don't hesitate and do it now!

Mahdy, the Dutch teacher is very good and always made me feel comfortable.

I never understand how the time passes during my classes with Bo. I have a lot of fun and learn Dutch without even noticing! She is very resourceful and helpful, which makes it super easy to tackle challenges along the way. Dankjewel voor alles!

How does it feel to have lessons with Mahdy? It is always a great pleasure to learn with him. It is a great inspiration and we see the success after every week. Ik kijk ernaar uit naar onze weekelijkse "date". There is a big motivation to reach my goal step by step!! Thank you both, Mahdy and Sofia.

Thank you, Sofia and Sani very much. We haven't started and it's already a very nice and organized experience! The process is so fun! I should have started earlier!

I highly recommend learning French with Sofia! She personalised the classes to my individual needs and interests and gave me material from various sources to keep things interesting and fun. Also, her positive energy is contagious

Through a variety of very interesting and contemporary foremost articles, very funny and interactive videos, and a variety of tools that really really astonished me, within a period of three months, we easily reached a level of Β2-C1 in terms of text understanding and communication.
