About Us

Quality Teaching
Any Time, Anywhere

 

At THE LINGO, we offer a unique and authentic learning experience for upper-intermediate to advanced learners.

The concept was born out of my own language journey as an adult language learner and the frustration I faced when trying to eloquently and politely engage in more nuanced and politically sensitive conversations. I wanted lessons that I found stimulating and that provided me with the finesse that I held in my own language.

Frustrated with text book language and prescribed courses, I sought out alternative ways of learning including reading novels in native languages, watching films, news, and scientific updates from original sources and tried to engage other native speakers in conversation around these topics. I quickly saw an improvement in my ability and motivation.

 
I have designed our courses to be engaging and interactive, using real-world materials that provide a cultural experience and push learners to think outside of the box. I use my experience in teaching exam skills to encourage critical thinking, text analysis, and encourage healthy debate.

If you enjoy speaking English, and want an alternative to traditional, text-book led courses, this is the school for you. We use content and language integrated learning (CLIL) to help you organically acquire the language resource you need to fluently and confidently talk about the topics that interest and engage you. From book clubs to current affairs conversation classes, we cover a diverse range of topics that appeal to adult learners wanting to improve or maintain their language skills outside of a traditional classroom setting.

Hi, I'm Victoria, the director of studies and founder of THE LINGO.

 My journey into education began with a degree in English literature, which sparked my passion for the arts and literature. Despite initially venturing into business development and sales post-graduation, I felt a compelling need to align my career with my interests. Transitioning briefly into the fitness industry before moving abroad to pursue a career as an English teacher.

Drawing from my varied background, which includes experience in business, retail, travel, and health and fitness, I design lessons that prioritise both engagement and learning. I believe in student-centred teaching methods, ensuring that lessons are both informative and enjoyable.

During my time in Italy, I had the privilege of lecturing at Luiss Guido Carli University for five years. I also worked with esteemed organisations such as Gucci, Siemens, and the Italian army, providing tailored language courses for business and government contracts.

Now, I'm excited to bring this wealth of experience to our online courses, tailored to meet your needs. Whether you're preparing for the IELTS exam, honing your business English skills, or simply seeking enriching literary discussions, there's something here for you.

I look forward to welcoming you to our virtual classroom.

Victoria
