“Online+Teacher is a nice add-on to our digital offering”- interview with our director

 

The Language Academy recently added a new product to its range: Online+ Teacher. This add-on enables students to combine their E-learning with conversation classes by a teacher. What exactly does this entail? Marcus Hilbers, Director at UvA Talen and The Language Academy, explains.

Rising demand for conversation classes
“We recently started getting more questions from our students about the possibilities of adding one-on-one speech training to our e-learning programs. So we decided to add the option of online conversation classes by a teacher. These classes are provided through a convenient online platform”, says Hilbers. “Students can choose to add 5 or 10 conversation classes to their Premium and Excellent learning packages.”

 

 

Speaking by trying, trying and trying
“Online+ Teacher is the perfect solution for students who want to extend their e-learning program with practical speaking sessions without compromising on flexibility. The conversation classes can be planned whenever it best suits the student’s agenda. They can learn to speak easily under the supervision of a professional native speaker – yet on their very own terms”, Hilbers adds. “I know from own experience that learning a new language well takes practice and determination. Speaking is something you learn by trying, trying and trying.”

Levelling up through conversation classes
“Our E-learning programs make for a full learning experience, including speaking and listening exercises”, says Hilbers, “Teacher-guided conversation classes are intended to take your learning journey to a higher level. Students pick both the subject matter and the learning topics they want to cover.”

A click or two…and off you go!
“Getting Online+ Teacher going is just as easy as starting an e-learning program. It only takes a couple of mouse clicks to send your application to The Language Academy, and we’ll find you a teacher at UvA Talen, Amsterdam’s biggest and leading language centre. After that, we will contact you to plan your first one-on-one classes – and off you go!”

Friendly pricing
“Online+ Teacher is a nice add-on to our digital offering”, Hilbers ends. “High demand among our students has made us choose for a friendly pricing scheme: Online+ Teacher is already available from €495.”
