EXCELLENT Based on 91 reviews L A92025-08-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been having lessons with Joan and made a lot of progression learning spanish. Joan is understands the challenges of learning a new language and takes away the pressure. Highly recommend! Susan Clark2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Learning Italian with Vicky has been a joy. The lessons are great fun, very varied and take place in a really supportive and relaxed atmosphere. Furthermore, Vicky lays on Italian film showings and optional holiday lessons; she also organises great events - such as quizzes and social evenings. The Modern Language School really is a fine place to learn a language - and the coffee is great too! (And if, for any reason, you can't get to the class, you can join it on Zoom and participate fully.) ann coldwell2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A really great place to learn languages … well organised, interesting and fun. Vicky our Italian teacher has a great passion for languages and the classes are always very enjoyable. I’ve also been doing a few conversational French classes to up my game for holidays ! Michael Durrant2025-07-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unpressurised & fun language learning ! Started Italian lessons at MLS in January 2024 and have really enjoyed the process - the big upside is the learning atmosphere. The only attendees are folks who want to actually learn & progress with a language, unlike remembrance of school days ! The school year has a number of enjoyable side events such as occasional Cinema Clubs and all-day language/cultural immersion led by the teachers and an external native speaker. Thoroughly recommended. Distance is no object as MLS has modern IT & audiovisual facilities and students can participate online if needed.

Brilliant language school making learning languages fun Brilliant language school, brilliant teachers, lots of flexibility and great fun with great people. I’ve just signed up for year 4 and can’t believe how the time has flown and how much I’ve learnt from scratch. We learn in many different and fun ways which would appeal to all learning preferences and when you can’t make class you can join virtually or even attend a different class if you want to. Highly recommend Fantastic school for learning languages. I began to learn Italian in September 2022. Our teacher is fab as is the class. We have built a real camararderie which makes the learning fun - as does the text book and mix of video/listening/discussion/grammar covered. I've just signed up for year 2! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ***** Jane2025-07-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am now in my 8th year doing advanced French. The lessons are stimulating, challenging, fun, with lots of variety. Highly recommended! Araminta Maamoun2025-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Joan has been absolutely wonderful. He has been teaching Spanish to our twin children and we couldn’t be happier with the progress they’ve made. We highly recommend Joan to any family looking for a warm, effective, and professional language tutor for their children. michelle williams2024-12-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely LOVE attending Spanish class each week and have learned so much in only a short time!!! Joan is an amazing teacher and he is fun, engaging and knowledgeable about Spanish culture and the language. I’m so glad I decided to sign up and it’s worth every penny in my opinion. I’ve also met some really lovely people in the class because it’s a friendly, encouraging atmosphere. 😁😁😁 Martin Taylor2024-12-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great language school. Super friendly and easy to get into. I studied Spanish and found the instructor Joan was really great. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Super encouraging. I really enjoyed my time at The Modern Language School and would highly recommend it.

Why Learn German?
You might already have one or several reasons to learn German. Maybe you would like to communicate with friends and relatives or for work purposes. Maybe you like travelling to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, or Liechtenstein. Maybe you even want to move to a German speaking country. Even if none of these reasons apply to you there are still many other reasons to learn German.
Germany attracts millions of tourists each year with its diverse landscapes, historic sites, and vibrant cities. Learning German can greatly enhance your travel experiences by enabling you to interact with locals, understand signage and directions, and immerse yourself in the local culture. It opens doors to exploring picturesque towns, visiting castles, attending festivals, and indulging in authentic German cuisine.
German speaking countries have a rich cultural heritage. Germany itself is often referred to as “Das Land der Dichter und Denker” – “The land of poets and thinkers” such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Franz Kafka, and Thomas Mann. German speakers have also had considerable influence in the world of classical music (think of Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and others.)
Whether you’re pursuing career opportunities, personal growth, or a deeper appreciation of German culture, acquiring German language skills can be a valuable and rewarding endeavour.

Meet The Teacher

Nina Roberts
Guten Tag! Ich heiße Nina Roberts und komme aus Deutschland. Hello! My name is Nina Roberts and I come from Germany.
I love teaching German here at the Modern Language School. Since coming to the UK in 2006 as a Foreign Language Assistant I have gained a Qualified Teacher Status and a wealth of teaching experience. I can cater for all age groups and levels, including exam preparation, and have had experience teaching children as young as four as well as adults. I joined the Modern Language School in autumn 2013 and really enjoy teaching and learning here. I am enthusiastic about languages in general and will help you build your German language skills by drawing on your previous knowledge or by introducing the language from scratch in an engaging and fun way.
As well as spending time with my family, I enjoy reading, music and hiking. I am also learning Italian with Vicky. This is great fun and a useful reminder of what it is like to sit on the other side of the classroom in the student’s role.

Tina Roussou
My name is Tina Roussou. I am originally from Greece and have been living in England for the last 12 years.
I hold a degree in ‘English Language with German’ (BA hons 2:1) and an academic qualification (PGCE) in teaching modern foreign languages from the University of Huddersfield.
I have several years teaching experience working as a secondary school language teacher, teaching German, Spanish, Italian and Greek. For the last 2 years I have been a private tutor in Philosophy, Greek and Spanish.
I love my work because teaching has the power to enrich people’s lives. Teaching foreign languages provides me with an opportunity to introduce people to the cultural aspects behind the language and share the knowledge base about other cultures. It also gives me a chance to meet great students who share my passion for people, culture, and communication.
My German classes are fun and interactive as well as being of the highest standard focusing on the individual learning needs of my students. Why not come and find out for yourself.
