Adult Language School Sydney

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does a tutor cost?
$70 for 1 hour or $90 for 2 hours. Teachers accept cash at the end of each lesson or you can prepay for a lesson online via PayPal here

2. Can you come to my home to teach me?
It's best to have the lesson at our office in the city as all our teachers use public transport, so getting to your place is likely to be difficult.

A teacher may be able to visit your home if you don't mind paying an additional travel time fee. The cost is $60 per hour travel time including expenses. So, if you live on the North Shore, for example, your 2 hour lesson could cost a total of $210.

It's best to meet your tutor at our office in the city or a cafe near our office to save travel time charges.

3. Do you teach children?
No, sorry, we only teach adults. Teaching children requires a different methology.

3. The language I want isn't listed. Will you be offering it?
We hope to. We are adding new tutors all the time so please email us requesting the language you would like to learn and we'll do our best to find a private tutor for you.

5. Do you sell gift vouchers?
Language lessons gift certificates are available. You can find out more at our gift certificate page.

6. I'd prefer a class full of students, rather than a teacher. Do you have anything like that?
We are planning to create a Mandarin class. If this is something you are interested in, please email us. The more emails we get, the more likely we'll run it. We need a minimum of 8 people to run the class.

At the moment we only offer English language lessons in a classroom situation. You can visit Adult English School to find out more.

7. What level are the private tutor lessons? I don't know anything about the language.
We focus on helping beginners get the basics of the language so that they can do things like ask where the toilet is, use public transport, say please and thank you and order food, for example. If you're at an advanced level you're welcome to hire our tutors to have conversations with you in the language of your choice.
