Introduction: Hallo/Salut/Hi, my name is Caroline Phillips. I am one of the two co-owners of LingualMuse and the Head teacher on the LingualMuse Language Team. I am trilingual in German, French, and English. I worked on two different continents and have lived in Germany, Britain, Belgium, and the US! I have worked in languages throughout my career, and I am always developing and improving my teaching methods, as I believe that learning is a lifelong event ! We work with students of all ages and language levels from Beginner to Advanced! A little about me: I was fortunate to work for the Foreign Service Institute as part of the State Department in DC. While I was there, I learned how to prepare a team of US delegates for their language assignments for their time serving the US government abroad. I was trained to teach German as well as French in a 9 month period, going from beginner to fluency, and successfully passing their government language testing. I really enjoy teaching dedicated and conscientious students that like learning fascinating and useful languages as much as me. I believe that well-kept language skills will enhance both your personal life and career. They expand your horizons and enable you to successfully connect with others around the globe. Watching our students succeed under my guidance and bringing out their best is my target 🎯, and my reward 🏆. About LingualMuse: We have been in business for four years.

My language learning journey with LingualMuse has not only been fruitful, but enjoyable! I was impressed by Caroline’s resume who used to teach foreign languages to government officials with the State Department! She offers Zoom lessons for students worldwide. Caroline’s approach with teaching begins with carefully gauging students’ learning styles (visual, auditory, etc.) and then tailoring her teaching style accordingly. She then builds a solid foundation of language basics which allows for more effective retention as students progress. Caroline is also very friendly, patient, and flexible when it comes to scheduling. She also makes an effort to connect with her students on a personal level and fosters a relaxed learning environment! My lessons with her have resonated more than any language app I’ve ever tried. Caroline’s husband Joe is the company’s administrator and is also friendly and easy to work with. He is very flexible with payment plans and will work with students to build a plan that is both affordable and manageable! I could not ask for a better organization that I can depend on for learning a new language, and they have over a dozen other instructors who teach many other languages to choose from. I highly recommend LingualMuse to anyone around the world who wishes to learn a new language!

I had my first session for my son and it went pretty well overall. Both the coordinator Joe and my son’s teacher Caroline was professional and extremely nice. Unfortunately, my son changes his mind often and that is the only reason I’m not continuing with his lessons at this time. However, if anything changes I will definitely use this company!!

After speaking with several Language companies to find a tutor for my wife and I in our quest to learn Spanish, we chose Lingual Muse. The program itself sounded like it would lend itself to the type of lessons we were looking for to learn together as a pair. After speaking with Joe G. the owner of the company I felt he really asked the right kind of questions in order to align us with a teacher to compliment our learning levels and needs. We started our lessons in February with Angelica M. (nuestra profesora) twice a week in the evenings for an hour and a half. Angelica is amazing! Not only is she such a nice relatable person, her teaching style is very conducive to learning a second language for two people who have been out of school for a while. Although my wife and I both have graduate degrees I feel learning a second language has been challenging as we both learn at different rates, but I feel Angelica’s teaching style has lent itself to us keeping at the same pace and complimenting each others skill level. We can’t say enough about Angelica as she is very good at explaining the fundamentals and the rules while making it fun and stress free. Angelica is very good at anticipating what lessons and next steps we are ready for, especially with two working people learning part time in the evenings. We are painting “thin layers” she says and I believe it is working. We are retaining more Spanish through her tutoring than any previous attempts with other teachers. We are seventeen lessons in and plan to continue with Angelica and Lingual Muse as we have seen such progress in our speaking and comprehension. “Con paciencia y su guia sabemos que hablaremos con fluidez en español en poco tiempo” Ron & Michelle Kato

I contacted many different language companies and am so happy I chose LingualMuse!!! First off, Joe got in touch with me extremely quick, scheduled a time to chat that worked around my schedule, and was extremely friendly. He asked many questions and chose a tutor he thought I would best match with. He explained to me that all of his tutors are top notch, but I really cannot imagine anyone better suited for me than my chosen Spanish tutor Angelica. Angelica is an amazing tutor that inspires me to practice spanish as much as possible. She is extremely professional, however I feel she cares about my progress on a personal level as well. Angelica has scuplted our lessons around what she believe would be best suited for my learning style and I have full trust in her process. At first, I was a bit concerned about the money and commitment, but after being with LingualMuse for 6 months, I have absolutely NO REGRETS and will be staying with this company until there is nothing left to learn. If any of the other instructors are half as helpful as Angelica, then I HIGHLY RECOMMEND LingualMuse!
