Yes, absolutely. We do in fact recommend a FREE 30 minute-long introductory Zoom session to give you the opportunity to test your connection, meet the teacher, go through any questions and specific requirements you might have. Your teacher will also use this initial catch-up to get and idea of your starting level..so get ready to exchange a few words (or more) in your target language!

You can check our teaching availability by selecting the Book Now button. Should you be unable to find a suitable time, please do get in touch as Flexibility is one of our main principles and we will do our best to find a teaching slot that can address your immediate needs and requirements.

This can massively vary dependant upon a wide range of factors. Your starting level, your availability, the amount of study time outside of our lessons and your specific objectives. Our core principle at Polyglox is to ensure that your goals are clear from day one. This will allow us to design a tailor-made study plan for you. That way you will know how and when we are going to achieve your goals. Remember that studying a language is a lifelong effort but, with a realistic plan in place, concrete results WILL be reached.
