At Brownstone Tutors we have assembled a team of foreign language tutors who thoroughly understand the process of language acquisition. Like their students, the tutors have undergone the experience of consciously learning and studying the language in question (as opposed to absorbing it from birth). As such, they have insight into the particular difficulties that English speakers encounter when learning French, say, or Spanish. The tutors are also able to pass along many of the tricks they used themselves to become proficient in a foreign language.
In addition to helping students with their language coursework, we have also had success with more informal instruction, designing programs to help adults and children acquaint and/or reacquaint themselves with a foreign language.
