Our mission
Standardized language courses do not work for everyone. Irregular working hours, a busy schedule or bad memories from school can all stand in the way. As private language tutors, we take a different approach:
No fixed programmes — just lessons designed around you
Adapted to your routine, your pace and your goals
A relaxed learning environment where mistakes are part of the process
A genuine love of language as the foundation for lasting skills
Who are we?

The story of Language Pro
We love languages. After more than ten years of teaching together at a vocational business school, we realized that we wanted to make language teaching more personal, more flexible and more individual. That is why we decided to start Language Pro. Since 2020, we have been working as private language teachers with a wide range of clients.
We have also extended our classes to include corporate courses. For our larger clients, including companies in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, security and transport, we develop company-specific language courses with content that can be applied directly in everyday professional contexts.
Was Monika auszeichnet, ist ihre Begeisterung und ihr Engagement für den Unterricht.
