LanguageConvo

"LanguageConvo offers a wonderful service at a very competitive price! The platform enables easy communication with your teacher (via video and messaging) and a comprehensive view of your upcoming classes and credits. I appreciate that you can buy credits as you need them—not a set monthly fee. My teacher is amazing. She adjusts to my needs as a language learner. She’s engaging. She introduces new ways for me to learn and practice. No lesson is ever boring. And, I can change teachers at anytime if I need a different style. I am sticking with my teacher though :)"

"I have taken 3 lessons so far with Kevin. He is always on time, structures the lessons well, and makes it a very comfortable space to practice conversing in Spanish. I was hesitant to try lessons online - this is my first time having Spanish lessons 1:1 with a tutor. However, my experiences have been great so far! Also, it's easy to pay for the lessons as the LanguageConvo website uses PayPal for transactions."

"I stumbled across LanguageConvo when searching Google for online one-on-one tutor style Spanish classes. I had been using several other tutors where I paid over triple what this site charges, so I was looking for something more affordable so I could essentially take more lessons for less money. Although initially skeptical at LanguageConvo's low prices, I did the free trial and really liked my experience with my teacher so I decided to continue and purchase lessons. I started with the smallest package to make sure my good experience with the free trial wasn't a fluke and the site really was legit, and thankfully it was. I chose to do 30 minute lessons 3x a week, each lesson worked out to less than $8. Super good value! Scheduling is easy as well, you can see a teachers calendar and choose the time slot and the length of time you want to take class for. Before doing the free trial, they asked me to complete a survey with my language goals and learning preferences and then assigned me a teacher based on what I filled out. I kept the teacher that they gave me (Alicia) because she gave a good mix of immersion and English in addition to being kind and patient. I like that the site has different teachers that you can try out, it's so important to find someone you are comfortable with and I liked that there are a lot of options (at least for Spanish, not sure for other languages). I would recommend sticking to one teacher after you found the one you like because they know where you left off in lessons and will be able to have a better understanding of your progress and what your areas of opportunity are. The topics and areas of study do vary from lesson to lesson but the one thing I really appreciate is that my teacher caters the lesson to what I need most. In my case, I use Spanish for work and she has a tendency to use examples of verbiage that would come up in my work setting. She also recommended a text book that I was able to find at Barnes and Noble for $12, after I got the book I study the chapters based on the corresponding lessons that I'm learning and try to supplement my lessons by watching Spanish kids learning cartoons. I feel that consistent lessons and speaking with a native speaker has already drastically improved my comprehension and conversational ability. This platform has truly been fantastic, both in affordability as well as flexibility and convenience. I don't have any formal years of study in school but have purchased various programs (Rosetta Stone, Pimsleur, DuoLingo Plus, and private tutors) and have found those to be kind of a waste as the most effective way for me to learn Spanish is to use it and talk to native speakers. This site gives a combination of not only being taught by a teacher but being able to talk to a native speaker. If you are in the market to learn a language, try not to waste too much money using the learn on your own programs, all of these things can only supplement language learning. You really don't have much to lose in doing the free trial. I'm honestly so happy I found an affordable and flexible tutor program that is helping me improve my language skills."

"I have been using LanguageConvo for almost five years and it has been a very rewarding and satisfying experience. More than anything else however, for me the continuous lessons with their truly wonderful instructors has given me a confidence to get out there and try and practice my Spanish whenever the opportunity occurs. In addition to all this, whenever I have questions regarding their website, scheduling lessons, anything at all, their responses are always quick and very helpful."

"I love LanguageConvo!!! The teachers are excellent and always go above and beyond to help you meet your language learning goals. I know that my Spanish proficiency level would not be anywhere near what it is without the lessons I’ve taken through LanguageConvo and the support of my teachers. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn a new language!"
