Your motivation

Imagine how gratifying it would be for you to:

go beyond merely ordering the drinks and asking for the bill
chat to your neighbours over the garden fence of your holiday villa
make a favourable impression with your overseas work colleagues or clients
be able to help younger members of your family with their GCSE studies
impress your new in-laws

Bespoke lessons

No such thing as a complete beginner!

If you take up a language as an adult, you might be surprised how many words you already know, either from your knowledge of other languages (and foreign words in English) or from travelling and meeting people. Our job is to help you fill in the gaps and gradually turn single utterances into full sentences. A bit less Tarzan-like...

Tailored lessons

Our teachers are trained to the highest standards and have decades of relevant experience. We make sure the lessons suit your needs, whatever your educational or cultural background.

What is your main focus?

To be able to hold a basic conversation, but would like to take your skills to the next level? You've come to the right place. We make sure that we put you in a class where you will be comfortable with the level. Most people really want to improve their speaking skills, first and foremost, but if grammar is your thing, then our teachers are happy to set and mark extra homework. Not compulsory, no detentions for failure to complete!

The rich get richer

As you will know from your own foreign holiday experience, a little knowledge backed up with a bit of effort and a big smile can go a very long way. It is up to you how much of this extra effort you put in. There are no magic short-cuts to learning a language, but there are techniques we can help you with, in order to maximise the finite amounts of time you have available.

The SameSky Community

If there was a silver lining to the covid era, it was that it made us all a bit more tech savvy. Using Zoom appeared to be the sub-optimal fall-back option at first, but now there are many students who actually prefer it. Being able to keep the classes going during the pandemic, and even being able to put on some extra online events definitely brought us closer together as a community. We are proud of this, and try to have an in-person event at the beginning and/or end of every term.

Flying high with SameSky!

Jackie (Spanish), Potters Bar

Learning Spanish has been a real highlight of my year. Andrew brings the language to life, his lessons are animated, fun and interactive. His knowledge and passion for languages really shines through and it is highly infectious. Since March, his lessons have gone on zoom which has really suited me, and the hour just flies past and are really enjoyable. I have learnt so much! He also has created a language community with free evening talks - QUILTS - 'quite interesting little talks' on a variety of different subjects - something for everyone!
