Frequently Asked Questions
-
It is best we start with a brief, 30-minute conversation. Or else, feel free to drop me an email or a WhatsApp. Together, we will determine your goals, your Maltese level, and which of my offerings best suits your needs.

Learning Maltese as a foreigner or complete beginner can seem incredibly daunting. Quality learning materials are limited, and experienced tutors are even harder to find. I provide clarity where there is often confusion.
Over the years, I have developed different teaching approaches to suit different types of learners, learning styles, and budgets, all built upon an adaptable and tried-and-tested syllabus that delivers results efficiently and effectively.My philosophy is simple: to spread the love of the Maltese language and help my students achieve their goals. I don't believe in keeping students learning indefinitely without direction. Together, we work towards clear, achievable objectives. Once those objectives are reached, you can choose to continue deepening your knowledge or move forward with confidence, knowing you've accomplished exactly what you set out to achieve.

I offer a range of learning options to suit different goals, learning styles, and budgets, including individual lessons, group classes, conversation practice, and self-paced courses. Following an initial conversation, I will recommend the most suitable option for your needs and provide a clear, transparent breakdown of the available pricing.
As an independent teacher, I prefer to discuss pricing directly with prospective students rather than publish a comprehensive price list. This allows me to focus on finding the right learning solution for each student, and protecting my one-man business from big corporate and government interests.
