Testimonials from our students
My Portuguese lessons with Rute are going very well. I have definitely noticed an improvement in my speaking and listening skills.
The courses have been going really well. Marjan has been giving me good things to watch and practice that have been helping me. It can be a little tough to practice since I don’t know anyone here to work with, but the courses have been going well.

Technical requirements
You do not need much to participate in your online classes: just a computer, tablet or smartphone capable of connecting to the Internet, a stable connection, a webcam and, preferably, a microphone. Then, all you need to do is download your web-conferencing software of choice and you are ready to begin!
If you need help deciding which software to use, setting up your equipment or testing your setup beforehand, just reach out to us. Our technical team are on standby, ready and waiting to help you in any way they can.
Continual Adjustment
As part of our promise to work with your teacher to continually adapt your course, your tutor will record your online lessons. There are a number of benefits for doing this. First, you can look back over difficult topics as many times as you feel you need. Second, if you enroll in a group course and miss a lesson for any reason, you can watch it back later and catch up before the next class. And finally, your teacher can watch the lessons back as well, analyze your progress in more detail, and adjust the course content as necessary.
PREVALENT QUESTIONS
Tell us as much as possible about you, the language you want to learn and why, and the type of course you would like (one-one-one/small group) by submitting an inquiry form.
Your course coordinator and teacher should be notified with at least one business day's notice to reschedule arranged lessons. Failure to give notice or notice received less than one business day before the class is considered a late cancellation, and the class will be registered as having occurred.
You can cancel your course at any time. We will return your fee to you, after deducting the hourly cost of any classes taken and a cancellation fee of CAD$550.
No. The communication software we recommend using is free, such as Zoom, Meet, Teams or WhatsApp.
The only requirement to attend an online class is that you enable audio, so your teacher can hear you and converse with you. A webcam is not essential, although it is recommended to improve interactivity and immersion. Your teacher's camera will always be on, allowing you to see them and any resources they use to teach you.
Absolutely, our in-house technical staff can provide you with instructions to set up your equipment and software, and they will test everything with you to make sure it is all working before your first lesson.
Course books are fantastic resources to complement your language studies. Your teacher may decide to recommend one with suitable exercises and explanations to guide your learning, or our Academic Department can suggest suitable options.
But you are not required to purchase a coursebook as part of this course, so it is your decision and responsibility if you choose to do so; we will not refund you if you decide to buy one.
No, you can expect to pay only the amount we quote.
Try our FREE online Language Level and Listening Tests for a quick and accurate assessment of your current level. If we do not have tests for your language, send us an inquiry and we will help to assess your level by other means. If you do not see the language you want to learn, contact us and we will help arrange a test for you.
Every Language Trainers course is bespoke to suit your learning objectives and needs. However, you can request a particular focus by telling us which type of content you would like your teacher to concentrate on (if you do not highlight a particular course structure or language goals, we will assume you want a General Course).
General Courses: study a wide variety of grammar, vocabulary, phrases and pronunciation to prepare for common communication.
Specific-Purpose Courses: suitable for advanced learners and students with highly specific goals who want to learn to use the language in very particular circumstances.
Business Courses: develop language skills and cultural etiquette suitable for the workplace.
Approach your teacher in the first instance. If they do not adapt the course fast enough, then speak with your course coordinator.
Yes, if your course coordinator is unable to find a solution to whatever is bothering you.
The teachers we contract have been teaching their native language to individuals and/or groups for two years or more. They are also qualified, with either a teaching certification or a university-level degree.
The best way to learn a language quickly is to hear it and speak it as much as possible, so your teacher will encourage you to do this in your lessons.
However, if you require that your teacher can speak your native language, then please request this when booking your class. Most of our teachers speak English and are multilingual.
No, you do not need any additional equipment other than what we have specified above. Your teacher will share any resources you might need via the web-conferencing software or email. You can make notes if you wish, but remember you can request to review lessons again by watching their recordings. If you teacher asks you buy anything for your course, consult your course coordinator for guidance.
Yes, homework is part of the course. Your lesson time is limited but it is essential to experience and practice a language as often as possible to learn it well, so homework will encourage this. Your teacher will try to keep things interesting by setting a variety of homework to complete, from written exercises to listening to foreign language conversations on YouTube.
Yes, of course. Send us an inquiry with the name and details of the person who will sponsor your course. Once they have agreed and made the payment, we will confirm your booking.
A certificate of completion, which your teacher will send to you in your last lesson together.
Language Trainers is an international company with teachers and clients all over the world. As such, we cannot celebrate every public holiday, so any classes that fall on a public or religious holiday will go ahead as per usual.
Students who miss a lesson to celebrate a holiday will be invited to watch the recording of the class. This will allow them to catch up before the next scheduled lesson.
