For Whom
Our private classes are for anyone who wishes to study Tibetan—regardless of their skill level or goals.
Contents
Private lessons are tailored to each student’s needs and can vary widely in format. They will be entirely based on the student’s goals and particular strengths and weaknesses. Some students work with Buddhist philosophical texts and historical documents, while others begin with learning the Tibetan alphabet. Tutors can also focus on colloquial conversation skills, Tibetan songs, or specific subjects and vocabulary.
Course Materials
Loplao will provide all class materials unless the student already has a specific text or resource they wish to use.
Trial Lessons
You can book a 30-minute trial lesson with one of our tutors before your class to get a sense of our private classes.
Instructor
We have several excellent native-speaking Tibetan language teachers, and you will be assigned to one of our tutors. We select our tutors with great care, and all of them have more than two years of experience teaching Tibetan. If the student has a specific interest, we can recommend a tutor who is best equipped to address that need.
