Private online language lessons that actually work
Personal and individual online language lessons
homestudies is a Swiss online language school that has offered professional private language lessons since 2013. We connect you with a certified, native-speaking teacher for live 1:1 video lessons via Zoom or Google Meet – in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian or Chinese.
Every teacher at homestudies is a qualified language professional who teaches only their mother tongue. No exceptions, no compromises.
With private lessons, 100% of the lesson time belongs to you. No waiting for other students, no awkward group dynamics, no generic textbook chapters that have nothing to do with your life. Your teacher builds every lesson around your level, your goals and your pace – and you’ll feel the difference from the very first session.

Find out where you stand – Free trial lesson
You can’t plan a route without knowing your starting point. In a free trial lesson, your teacher assesses your current level based on the CEFR – the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Together, you define your goals and receive a personalised course recommendation.
