USAI was inclined to be very skeptical about studying a language via Skype, but I decided to try the free trial lesson. I liked my teacher, Serena, so much that I decided to continue on with lessons. Serena is very professional in the way she conducts the lesson; in fact, it doesn’t even feel like a lesson. She skillfully sees the gaps and unobtrusively instructs so that you feel as if you can already speak the language right away. Another great thing, of course, is that you save time not having to travel. I can’t imagine now a more effective way of studying. The school has without doubt a great future. Yulia manages the school like a perfect conductor, knowing which teacher is the best match for which student. I am learning Italian, and it’s my third foreign language. I am sure that, had I known about this school earlier, I would already have learned another couple of languages by now, taking into consideration the convenience, the reasonable rates, and the travel time saved.

BelorussiaI started studying English more than two years ago. I can’t imagine my life now without these lessons. Several months ago, I started working with Steve to improve my knowledge of English, and also to get practical experience conversing with a native English speaker. Everyone knows that, in order to really learn a language, you have to immerse yourself in it completely, feel it, and not be afraid to talk with native speakers of that language. Steve is an excellent teacher, and studying English with him is easy and straightforward. In the time I’ve been working with him, he has become more of a friend than a teacher. I can discuss all sorts of topics with him: future plans, work, new movies, literature, and in so doing I am developing my fluency in English. Another plus is that Steve is studying Russian, so he knows better than anyone how difficult it is to study a foreign language, and this means he has his own particular approach to the program of study, and his own particular teaching style. In studying with Steve, I have become more confident in conversations with clients, and my knowledge of grammar, and my reading have greatly improved. I am grateful to Steve for his ability to explain complex things in a straightforward way so that they are easy to understand.

RussiaI'd like to share my feelings about about my studies and to thank my Italian teacher, Lara. Through the course of my lessons, I have come to see several positive outcomes. First of all, these are individual lessons at a time that is convenient for me. But the most important thing is that these lessons have augmented the level of my ability. As I am not a beginner Italian student, it was very important to me to find a teacher who was a native speaker. And it seems to me that I have been very lucky in finding Lara. She is a very open person and it is apparent right away that she wants to pass on to others the skills that she has mastered. The lessons are very informative. As she is a native speaker, Lara gives me a lot in the way of new vocabulary, and she presents the grammar material really well. Of course, conversation with her aids in the development of my conversational Italian, the level of which has significantly done down due to a lack of practice. It is with great pleasure that I express my thanks to her for the wonderful lessons and recommend Lara to anyone interested in studying Italian!

ArmeniaI really enjoyed both learning a language by Skype, and having this teacher (Maria)! You don’t need to spend lots of time on it; you study and practise with a native speaker, and always at a time that is convenient for you. It’s great! I recommend it, and encourage you to try it!

RussiaIt is really interesting to take lessons with Amalia! I have taken in three lessons in all and I already feel that my knowledge level has gone up. I like her teaching method, as she provides conversational speech and also teaches correct pronunciation, allowing me to already better understand Greek films and songs. I have searched for a long time for a teacher with whom it would be this comfortable to take lessons. I gave myself the goal of learning Greek, and with her, I am sure I will achieve this goal.

USAI enjoy taking lessons with Lara very much. She is very enthusiastic about languages. She is able to explain grammar very well and make a lot of connections and comparisons with other languages. She is very diligent, punctual, compassionate and a great person!
The fact that she is Italian (I am taking Italian classes with her) makes it really professional. I work in entertainment industry and it is very important to me to learn the proper Italian, which is used by actors on stage. Lara has great knowledge on Italian proper diction, is able to distinguish accents from different regions and help me with translations in "old" language from times of Monteverdi and Verdi!
I sincerely recommend Lara to anyone who is serious about studying the language.
She is also willing to adjust the program individually to every student. Her flexibility with the schedule makes it really easy even if we live on different continents 😉
A + for Lara ! - Oksana
GreeceHello everyone, my name is Oksana. I have been studying Greek for several years and have been looking for the opportunity to chat with a native speaker through Skype for a long time. Why through Skype in particular? My free time is extremely limited, and moreover, Athens is a big city and getting from one place to another can take a lot of time, what with traffic jams and well-attended strikes. It seems to me that is is much nicer to study in the comfort of your home surroundings at a time that is convenient for you. For this reason, Skype is simply this century's brilliant solution! And now about my Greek lessons with Amalia. I just adore her and recommend that everyone take lessons with this excellent teacher. Amalia is a very lively person, and her explanations make the material accessible and easy to understand. In our lessons she always listens to my wishes and, more than this, she speaks several foreign languages very well indeed! Each one of our lessons passes by in the blink of an eye, and I am always looking forward to the next one! She is a dream of a teacher! I have only been studying for a few months but I already see results: I have begun to be able to better express my ideas and have enriched my vocabulary. I will absolutely continue studying with Amalia.
Thank you, Language Life, for giving me this opportunity!

RussiaWhat makes a good teacher? For me, it is a person who genuinely loves his or her work and approaches it with enthusiasm; someone who, by their own passion for their subject, can motivate others to study; someone who can explain things well, and to whom students can always turn with their problems. There are many clever people who converse in a complex way. Steve is not one of those people; he makes English interesting, and he motivates you to more thoroughly understand the language.

SwitzerlandI'm really happy with my lessons with Kate. Kate has excellent pronunciation, she loves the English language and teaches it with pleasure. While she allows a lot of time for practising conversation during our lessons, she does not ignore grammar. She always speaks with me in English, which is very important for me. At the same time, Kate speaks Russian well, which can be very useful. Most importantly, she explains things well. I take English lessons twice a week and even after a short period of time I am already noticing results!

Я хотела бы поблагодарить школу Language Life за отличную, честную, быструю работу! Отдельное спасибо директору школы Юлии за внимательное и доброжелательное отношение! Очень приятно и удобно работать с Вами!

От Вас необходимо только желание обучаться, в остальном можете положиться на Лауру! Она в интересной, последовательной, доступной форме обучает студентов ее родному языку. Кроме того, что Лаура - профессионал своего дела, она очень позитивный отзывчивый человек! Я очень рада, что у меня есть возможность изучать румынский язык с таким преподавателем как Лаура! - Michael
MoscowI’ve been studying English by Skype with Clare for about a month now. After every lesson, she gives me homework, and we discuss the homework in the next lesson; we also discuss various topics. Clare is an educated and well-rounded person, and I can talk about any topic with her. I consider these lessons very effective in that they help to overcome psychological barriers and develop one’s language skill. I notice that I’ve already begun to say certain phrases and expressions without thinking about the translation.

Russia, MoscowThere is a wide selection of Italian teachers in Moscow, but despite this, for a long time I was unable to find a real professional amongst the native speakers. Everyone knows that much depends on your guide in the interesting world of foreign languages, the person who will strengthen your desire to delve into the most complicated grammatical peculiarities and will help you enrich your speech with beautiful and correct turns of phrase. How I've gotten lucky! After two years of studying my favourite language at different centres I took up individual lessons with Chiara! She speaks Russian fluently and can therefore understand the mistakes her students make due to their native language. I have always been very pleased with the variety in materials (she provides not only textbooks, but also newspaper articles, audio, and video) which she uses in the lessons with detailed explanations of the subtleties of the Italian language. Already I have begun to feel notice significant progress! After Chiara left Russia, I decided to continue studying with her, namely in order to prepare for the CELI exam, but through Skype. Lessons are, as before, intensive, entertaining, but with an emphasis on writing, review of various subjects, retelling situations and practising pronunciation. Working with Chiara I really appreciate how she responds quickly to all my questions and difficulties that arise in my individual work, how she carefully checks, corrects, and elaborates upon the written texts, and during our lessons points out my mistakes to me. I am happy to recommend this energetic, sensitive teacher who cares about the success or failure of her students, to those who value the quality of the learning process and are aiming towards achieving a certain result!

GermanyIt is the best combination of time spent and quality of learning. And the main thing is that Maria is a great person and great teacher, who always inspires you, lifts your spirits, and leaves you with a positive feeling for the whole day!

RussiaGood day. I have been studying with Amalia for several months now. My interest in Greek is related to the fact that for half of the year I live and work on the island of Crete. My work does not require a knowledge of Greek (when needed I use English), but I wanted to begin studying Greek in order to become further immersed in this country that I love. When I began to look for a teacher on the internet, I saw many ads offering Greek lessons, but all the teachers were Russians who had lived for years in Greece, and my goal was to find a native speaker. For this reason I was very happy when I found Amalia. She knows several foreign languages, among them Russian. She doesn't speak Russian perfectly (in my view this is, in principle, impossible), but she has enough of a command of the language that I can easily understand her. Lessons with her are very entertaining, she selects materials for each lesson carefully, and always prepares interesting exercises. I don't perceive my lessons with her as work or study. For me, it is a way to relax, a hobby. I am pleasantly and, most importantly, usefully passing my time. I think that a large role is played here, not only by Amalia's professional but also her human qualities. She is a very pleasant, gentle, and kind person, and she is always calm when explaining the material to me several times if I don't understand something. If you want learning a foreign language to not be hard work, but for it to be a pass-time from which you derive pleasure and that you look forward to with impatience, then I recommend studying with Amalia. The first lesson is free, so you can always refuse further lessons. But personally, it didn't even enter my head to refuse. After the trial lesson I immediately registered for the next lesson.

BelorussiaThank you very much to Maria for her knowledge, patience, and good humour! Choose here as your teacher, and may everything go as well for you as it did for me! It is money well spent.

ItalyI was enrolled for 2 years and a half in the Romanian course provided by Language Life School.
I really appreciated the format though Skype, very flexible and compatible with my work.
Yulia Amlinskaya has been always very prompt to answer to my questions and reply to my needs.
I got 100 lessons with Professor Laura Mason: my level of Romanian at the beginning was zero and now I am able to interact with success with people in Romania where I go very frequently. Laura was an exceptional Professor, always kind, on time, flexible and very prepared. She accompanied me in the discovering of the Romanian language with a very practical approach, teaching me also culture and traditions. This knowledge helped me to have a successful interaction with Romanian people.
I am very grateful to her and I am happy to recommend her as great teacher and Language Life School as a very professional school. - Olexander
UkraineI thank God for giving me such an excellent teacher as Maria who, as well as being highly professional, is honest, patient, kind, and caring – qualities that are today, sadly, all too rare. I would recommend Maria to everyone, both as a teacher and as a person!

RussiaI already knew that studying by Skype was a great opportunity to study with a native speaker, and also save time and money; then I came across the online school, Language Life. My choice was influenced by the straightforward and convenient payment methods, and also by the teaching staff.
I wanted to study with Florinda and, as I thought, she is indeed a wonderful teacher! She has teaching experience, knows the Russian language (she also knows English and French), which helps her explain the grammar, and she is mindful of the student’s wishes. The trial lesson and text helped in choosing the textbooks and in planning the lessons. I study twice a week. Each lesson consists of checking/analyzing the homework; grammar, reading, … but the main thing is that I listen and try to understand the living language, that we socialize and discuss different themes. This is the most important thing for me in lessons with a native speaker. Every time one lesson finishes, I can’t wait for the next lesson! THANK YOU FLORINDA!

USAI am very happy with my Italian lessons with Lara. Lara is professional and knows exactly how to convey the material that we are using in the lesson. Lara makes each lesson interesting and engaging. What I particularly like about Lara is her friendly and dynamic personality and her strong wish to teach and advance, step by step, my level of Italian in each lesson.

MoscowAlexandra was my teacher for two years. She is simply wonderful! She really understands that each student needs an individual approach as everyone learns in their own way. Alexandra is a teacher in the straightforward sense of this word: she is dedicated to her students; she brings great enthusiasm to her work, and she has a great sense of humour!
