By tailoring our lessons to the individual, we aim to nurture the initial excitement that comes with learning any language and, in turn, help our students become truly global citizens.
LINGUISTIKA
PILLARS OF LEARNING
Learning a new language is fun and exciting.
We are all born with a love for learning about new people and a natural desire to discover the world around us. Our aim is therefore to provide our students with the skills they need to do exactly that, while also nurturing the initial excitement that comes with learning a new language.
Languages can be learnt at any age.
At Linguistika, we believe that, given the right motivation and attention, there is no limit in terms of how far a student can advance. It is never too early or too late to learn a language and students of all ages and levels of proficiency should be encouraged to challenge themselves and further develop their language ability.
Each and every student is unique and deserves to be educated accordingly.
At Linguistika, we take pride in treating each of our students as individuals with a unique set of goals and experiences. We believe students learn best when a language is presented in a way that helps them draw the connection between the language/s they already speak and the language they are attempting to learn. Furthermore, we ensure that a combination of learning styles is incorporated into each of our lessons, with particular emphasis on the learning styles that have proven successful for a particular student in the past.
A student’s progress is unlimited when their learning environment allows them to make mistakes without shame.
Mastering a language is all about confidence. For this reason, is it important to ensure that students feel confident enough to attempt something new without the fear of making a mistake. We believe that, no matter how long it takes, progress is something to be proud of and should always be rewarded with positive feedback.
Teaching students the skills they need to function independently is key.
At Linguistika our aim is to teach our students skills, not content. Our mission is to provide an education that equips our students with the life skills they need to continue learning and developing outside of their lessons. Ultimately, our goal is for each of our students to reach a point where they no longer need a tutor because they have mastered the skills they need to continue learning on their own.

so easy for me to understand."
ROLE OF THE TUTOR
At Linguistika we love playing matchmaker and take pride in allocating each of our students to a tutor we believe is best suited to the student’s personality, language needs and scheduling preferences. Through carefully pairing up students and tutors, we aim to create a optimal learning environment, where learners are able to connect with their tutors on a deeper level resulting in better learning outcomes.
Develop each student’s ability to the maximum.
Each student deserves to feel confident and proud of their ability. At Linguistika we observe how each of our students thinks and processes new information to help encourage further development.
