Language School

At CP Language Institute we offer individual and group tutoring classes that teach all of the major western, central and eastern European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages.

We also offer intensive English tutoring workshops to provide individuals with one-on-one attention to help them perfect their reading and writing skills.

We organize and maintain business language courses for highly specialized professional fields, such as law, finance, and international commerce, which may require sophisticated vocabulary and idiomatic expressions.

Instructional materials, including language textbooks, workbooks, periodicals and readings from accredited works in each language are used to help our students acquire a better understanding of cultures and the countries in which these languages are spoken.

Our Strategy:

Our goal is to enable our students to speak the target language with proficiency in the shortest time possible. At CPLI, our students will start speaking a new language from the very first class. Over time, our talented teachers will help you master the language.

We have devised two strategies to achieve this goal: First, students are instructed to use the targeted language as much as possible; second, our teachers use the Pyramid Drill Method, which enables students to establish an instinctive response to the new language very quickly. The structure of our language courses is comprised of the following:

  • Five levels of study
  • Four terms per level
  • 30 class hours per term

Our Instructors:

All of our instructors are skilled native speakers, who hold degrees from universities in their native countries, have previous tutoring experience, and have passed our intense written and oral tutoring tests and interviews. Our testing process guarantees that we employ only the most professional and accurate tutoring personnel.

In addition to being professionals, our tutors are energetic, patient, and sensitive to their students' personal success. CPLI strives to match you with the perfect tutor for all your needs.

Success stories

Ciao CP Language Institute,

I am writing to share with you the wonderfully positive experience I had with Tiziana last weekend. As you know I specifically came to NYC and to CP Language Institute for an immersion program in the Italian language. Although, we only had 8 hours together, I feel my passion for the language has heightened exponentially.

Tiziana is a very passionate and talented teacher, allowing you to truly feel as a native speaker. She was able to quickly spot my weak points as we worked on them throughout the weekend. She is creative, patient and always encouraging. The only negative part is that I can't continue my studies with her on a regular basis. I am sure I will be returning in the near future to continue my journey with the Italian Language.

Please offer my appreciation to Tiziana for a wonderful weekend and I will be back!

Best regards,

Susan
