London Language Studio, leading providers of private Spanish lessons, Italian lessons and Greek lessons is today one of the most successful private language tuition providers in Southern England. The Studio offers one-on-one language tuition to students from a variety of backgrounds and interests and from school age to retirement.  We went to speak to Alena Sunavska, founder of the school to discover her secrets to success.

Alena Sunavska, the founder of the firm offering private Italian tuition and Slovak lessons in Reading and London said, “I have always had a great passion for languages and I have dedicated a huge part of my life to them. Firstly studying them and consequently becoming a language tutor. I have been teaching languages on a one to one basis for the past 10 years and the idea to start my own business was inspired by my strong desire to share my language learning experiences with others.”

Ms Sunavska, who set up her language school after recognizing an opportunity to introduce new language leaning techniques to UK students added, “I felt like I needed to share and communicate my way of learning, because I knew it was different and extremely effective. From my own experience, I knew that learning Greek or any other language can be a lot easier than most people think. After all, I myself am a good example that it really is possible to learn languages and to speak with fluency and confidence.” 

“Initially I started the business on my own but soon decided to put together a small team of tutors, as my timetable was pretty full. However I still like to oversee the progress of all our students. The tutors and I keep in touch and we share our teaching experience on an ongoing basis.”

Teaching young professionals, children, the retired, the media and even those who are looking for property investments abroad and feel that the language barrier is a hindrance, London Language Studio believes that the most motivated students are those with a strong connection with the target country.  

Ms Sunavska added, “Our school has experienced record levels of success in recent months and we have expanded the area we cover and moved from central London; both the office and the Language Studio premises are now in Berkshire, near Reading. I still teach in Kensington a couple of days a week but will now be focusing on my new project which is organizing intensive language workshops at the Studio in Berkshire. It is proving very popular at the moment with many of our current students who generally commute from London; it only takes 30 minutes from Paddington and the workshops provide an excellent language boost for students who wish to make fast track progress in their language.”
