"The success of a company is proportional to the caliber of its employees!"
Litera Language Center's Staff and Instructors  
  Our professionalism – your success guarantee!  
Our team members are active and committed native-speaking professionals with substantial academic background in pedagogy and philology coupled with vast and multi-facetted teaching experience. Engaged in extending and advancing their professional competence, our instructors are frequent participants at various seminars and workshops.
Our fascination with teaching languages and introducing and unfolding our cultures transcends the class rooms: indeed, it contributes to defining our Center's ambiance that we all enjoy! 

 

This is much more than just a catchy saying – 
it is our motto and the philosophy that we 
live by!
 
  Many of us speak multiple languages; therefore, we are not simply conversant with the teaching process – we know from first-hand experience what learning a foreign language really involves and implies!
