Is it important for you to have course content that is geared towards your needs and time constraints? With a Berlitz private language class you can have all of that, whilst learning at your own pace and practicing speaking your new language with a dedicated teacher.
We offer two types of private language programs, to cater to different needs:
How you’ll learn with Berlitz Switzerland
- Simply book classes through your online student portal or directly at one of our learning centers in Switzerland.
- At the beginning of each lesson, your instructor will outline the goals for the session so you know exactly what you’re aiming at.
- You will learn through our proven Berlitz Method. Your instructor will deliver your classes in your target language to equip you with real-world conversational skills.
- Every lesson follows the present, practice and perform structure. New learning content is first presented by your instructor, after which you will learn through guided and general practice, ending the lesson with a performance of what you have learnt.
