What mentoring involves

We run occasional info sessions on Language Up mentoring. Contact us to request upcoming dates.

What happens in mentoring sessions?

Each of our eight 60-minute mentoring sessions is a guided conversation on a particular aspect of language learning. Together we’ll explore your personal language learning history, language learning techniques, goal-oriented planning, dealing with emotions and making the most of the opportunities around you in your target-language culture.

We don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach for language learning. We don’t tell you what to do but help you reflect on your own experiences and make decisions that are right for you. There’s always plenty of time to share the joys and struggles with an outside person who gets it.

Each 60-minute mentoring session takes place on Zoom. Sessions take place every 4-6 weeks to fit your schedule. Our standard programme includes eight mentoring sessions over the course of 8-12 months.

Affordable pricing

We want to help you up your language and we want our mentoring programme to be accessible to all who need it. We’re especially interested in working with people who are volunteering or working cross-culturally on a tight budget. Get in touch with us to find out more.

Language Up mentors

Although we both love languages, we also know how hard it is to learn them. It’s so much more than just vocab and grammar. Language learning is a long process, full of ups and downs: a character-forming experience. With Language Up mentoring, you’re not alone in this!

What people are saying

“I would highly recommend this course, because it helped me feel more in control of my language learning and therefore use my learning time more effectively and enjoy it more.”

— Programme participant

“I found the sessions to be empowering because it wasn’t about being told ‘this is the way to do X’ but rather the sessions were about exploring what worked well personally for me within my own language learning journey.”
