Our Story

Established in 2020, Linguistika is built upon over 14 years of language teaching expertise, revolutionizing language education worldwide. We pride ourselves on delivering top-tier language and cultural education, tailored to each client's needs. With a team of native English, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese speakers, we cater to students of all ages, from toddlers to adults, ensuring a transformative learning experience. 

Our founder, Stephanie Schaffrath, embarked on this journey fueled by her own experiences working as a German tutor from 2011. Drawing from her background of bilingual education, Stephanie recognised the challenges faced by many learners and set out to be the guiding presence she wished for in her youth. 

At Linguistika, we transcend conventional teaching methods, focusing on skills rather than mere content. We believe in creating a nurturing environment where every student can thrive, regardless of age, and where learning is not only enriching but also enjoyable and adaptable to individual needs. Our dedication reflects in our outstanding achievements, boasting an 86% average mark in international language examinations across all levels, from A1 to C2. With a diverse student base spanning five continents, 20 countries, and 41 nationalities, we have empowered scholars to excel academically, equipped adults for new opportunities, built confidence, aided in overcoming reading difficulties, and facilitated seamless integration into new social environments.

​

Linguistika stands as a testament to Stephanie's vision and passion for empowering individuals worldwide. As we continue to evolve, our core mission remains unchanged: to help people unlock their true potential and become truly global citizens through language acquisition and cultural immersion.
