Sabrina T.

LanguageBird Student, Italian

“LanguageBird’s one-on-one program has truly transformed my attitude towards learning a language by allowing me to work on my listening and speaking further. In addition, my instructor was super attentive to my interests and very kind. I highly recommend LanguageBird to students who find that public courses are not their flow.”

Colette A.

Parent of Preston, a LanguageBird Learner

“My son just completed his first year of Spanish instruction at LanguageBird. We found the scheduling to be very flexible and accommodating. His teacher was excellent! She was patient and kind, and my son said one of the best parts of the experience was learning what her day-to-day life is like. Talking about things like restaurant menus, recipes, and the customs of different Spanish speaking countries was far more enjoyable and educational than the hours of boring memorization he has been asked to do in other language classes.”

Angela V.

Parent of Caleb, a LanguageBird Learner

“We loved and highly recommend the LanguageBird experience, especially my son’s instructor, Jessica. The one-on-one learning was so much more effective, enjoyable, and convenient than the classroom experience he had in traditional school before. The relationship and care from Jessica was an added benefit.”

Erin M.

Parent of Reid, a LanguageBird Learner

“We LOVE LanguageBird – has been such a positive experience for our son. We especially loved Amy Rivera. She kept Reid engaged and excited about ASL. He reported that he learned twice as much working with Amy as he did at our local community college. Between sports and travel, LanguageBird was the perfect solution for our family, and Reid plans to continue with ASL. We can not say enough positive things!”

Sinmi A.

LanguageBird Student, French

“My instructor, Sylvianne, made me look forward to my time with her. She really did take into consideration everything I told her I was interested in and made it a point to explore those topics while also expanding my French. I learned so much with her not just about French, but about culture and how some people appear in the world. I’ll seriously miss my time with her.”

Iva R.

Parent of Oliver, a LanguageBird Learner

“Our son studied French 2 with Emilie this summer for full credit because he was unable to fit French in his regular high school schedule. Oliver enjoyed working with Emilie. We noticed his pronunciation improved and as did his confidence speaking aloud. He was happy to work with her during his summer holiday which I think in itself says a lot about the quality of instruction and his engagement. Emilie was also kind and able to work around our travel plans. Much appreciate her flexibility as needed so he could finish on time. Would highly recommend LanguageBird.”
