Testimonials

“Our daughter, a heritage language speaker, studied on her own and took the AP German exam in 9th grade. But then she wanted to prepare for a more difficult exam, the C1 exam offered by the German government — and also to prepare to apply for a 3 year formal apprenticeship in Germany after high school. The apprenticeship program involves being paid for working in an entry-level position in her chosen field and attending a German technical school. This would mean she needed to write a formal resume and cover letter in German and do a group interview by Zoom in German. Where could we find a teacher who could help her with this level of preparation, requiring near-native fluency and writing? We were delighted to find LanguageBird and discover that LanguageBird offers two years of coursework beyond the AP level. This meant that not only could our daughter receive tailored preparation for her unique goals through additional tutoring, she could also receive approved and formally accredited high school credit for advanced language courses, keeping her options open for the future and meeting school requirements. Thanks to LanguageBird and her wonderful instructor, she was well-prepared for her C1 exam and interviews. This week she was delighted to receive an offer at one of her top choices. She will be moving to Cologne, Germany to start her apprenticeship this summer.”

“LanguageBird is one of the tricks I share with the families I work with in my college counseling practice. Students who take a foreign language throughout high school have increased odds of getting accepted to top universities and increased opportunities for scholarships.”

“My daughter took her first LanguageBird course last year as a sophomore. She really wanted to learn Japanese after taking 4 years of French. Her instructor was incredible and she made learning a new language so much fun for my daughter. She incorporated things that my daughter was interested in to really engage her such as Anime and both the instructor and my daughter had a blast. She learned so much in such a short period of time and couldn’t wait to move on to the next level. We signed her up for Japanese 2 and unfortunately her instructor was taking a break from teaching and wasn’t able to work with her again, however, she was so helpful in finding the perfect fit for her next instructor. He was amazing. He also is a fan of Anime and shared similar interests as my daughter and they really hit it off. He made learning so much fun for her and he was very impressed with her ability to pick up new things so quickly. It really was a testament to his great teaching skills. She ended up moving past Japanese 2 and went on to Japanese 3. I can’t say enough about LanguageBird. Both instructors were awesome and I would highly recommend LanguageBird!”

“I really enjoyed my program. I was able to learn at a pace that was tailored to my level. The environment was not stressful or competitive like ones I had previously been in for group learning, making the experience much more enjoyable and stress-free. My teacher was very interested in what I wanted to learn, which was fun because when we had covered the syllabus material, I got to learn about French history, traditions, and more! I am so excited to continue, and I feel like I have learned so much.”

“We selected LanguageBird to provide high level French study for my daughter, a high school senior, with some previous French experience. We wanted a native-level instructor to work with her one on one for grammar proficiency and conversational fluency. We have not been disappointed! She is so pleased with her instructor, who uses creative ways to teach her! He is fun and knowledgeable and meeting her right on her level. Also, the classes are flexible, which has allowed her to pick her lesson time, and to schedule breaks for travel. Furthermore, the LanguageBird staff has been extremely easy to work with – always easy to reach on the phone. We feel we are getting more than what we paid for! We will use this again for our younger child!”

“It’s not only about teaching the content and the curriculum but also to get a personal connection with the student. Getting to know the student when you teach online is important because you need to get connection on another level to engage them more.”

“I LOVE that I get to experience Spanish from a teacher who lives in Spain. It makes Spanish come to life! I would highly recommend LanguageBird to any student or parent.”

“As an elite level figure skater, LanguageBird allowed me to stay flexible in my schedule and learn Spanish 3 effectively. LanguageBird was awesome in helping me take the course and do well.”
