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.
