A Spanish Student May 2007

“The convenience of having someone come to your work place and teach Spanish during your lunch hour is priceless. The quality of the tutors and the flexibility of the study timetable ensure that, as a group we can continue to learn and improve our Spanish without interfering in our work and home lives.”

“In 2004, my daughter Abigail decided to run the Great Wall Marathon for charity and stayed on afterwards to discover the country as well.As a surprise Christmas present, I decided to organise a few lessons in Chinese so she could make the most of her trip. Conversation Piece were very helpful; they suggested that I purchase a gift voucher so that my daughter could organise the lessons when she was available. Abigail was delighted! Her teacher came to her flat and gave her a crash course in basic tourist essentials as well as a few tips on Chinese culture. She said that it really made her experience in China unforgettable!”

“My Partner was going to Argentina for a business trip. He knew a little Spanish and there were going to be translators on site but I thought it might be interesting for him to have a little Argentinean Spanish as an ice-breaker!

Conversation Piece suggested a 2-hour taster session with a native Argentinean teacher. Anabella came to our home and taught him how to meet and greet, talk about himself and understand others when they presented themselves and pointed out what to look out for in beautiful Buenos Aires.It was a great success and proved to be very useful!”

“I was considering a German course in Central London when I called Conversation Piece. After considering the cost of travel, time spent getting there and the fact that I couldn’t choose the day, I decided to switch to private tuition. Conversation Piece arranged for a local German teacher to come to my house; I arrange the dates with my teacher and she is very flexible. It really is the most convenient and economical option.” Sue (Esher)

“I had been looking for a Swedish course for some time when I called Conversation Piece. They looked up teachers registered with them in my area and arranged for a Swedish teacher to come to my home that same weekend. I work difficult hours and travel abroad regularly so I needed someone flexible. My teacher is flexible and happens to live just 10 minutes away so she can easily adapt to my hectic schedule.”

“My husband and I have a house in France and wished to learn some French to be able to speak with our neighbours and understand when local tradesmen explained what work was needed on the house. Conversation Piece arranged for Amélie to come to our house every Saturday for 2 hours. The lessons are very practical: we do a lot of role-play and practise real-life situations so that we feel confident when we are in France.”
