Why Language Lessons?

If you're looking to move overseas you may choose language lessons to help you manage logistical arrangements, to fit in better with your new local community or to make new friends.

Language learning can help you to feel more confident when you are travelling abroad on business or pleasure and a few words of the local language is always appreciated and helps to build positive relationships.

Alternatively, if you're learning a language for work purposes we have a range of language teachers who can help you master your vocabulary.

Choosing your language teacher

Please use First Tutors: Languages to find language teachers near you.

Discover through one search the most suitable language teacher for your needs including considerations of cost and location. Whether it is French, German or Spanish, to name a few, our local search helps you find teachers close to your home or place of work.

Our profiles invite teachers to declare:

  • Hourly rates
  • Qualifications
  • Approach to tutoring
  • CRB check status
  • Availability (day, evening or weekend)

Remember, these are self-declarations, so you should always ask to see the teacher's qualifications and CRB certificate in the first lesson as a matter of course if this is a concern for you.

When you have chosen which language teachers you would like to hear from, contact and ask questions to up to 4 Language teachers in your private member's area.

Confirming your choice of Language teacher

You will then receive e-mail notification as soon as your selected teachers confirm they are happy to commence language lessons or answer your questions. All that remains is for you to accept their offer at which point we exchange learner and teacher contact details on your behalf.

Our Fee

Only when your match is confirmed as satisfactory by you do we ask for £4.99-£19.99* payable online by credit/debit card. This tiny fee is dramatically cheaper than language agency fees and reassures our teachers that their enquirer is a serious adult. We won't invite you to release the details until the teacher has confirmed they can meet your request.

* Our one-off fees are variable and linked to the tutor's price per hour to make our service as affordable as possible
