You send me a message here or on WhatsApp. We talk about your goals and level, I design a personal plan, and we meet online for your first lesson.

How long are the lessons?

Lesson length and frequency are agreed with you before booking, based on your goals, availability and preferred pace.

What about scheduling?

Scheduling is flexible. Send me your time zone and best times, and I'll share the options currently available.

What's the cancellation policy?

The cancellation and rescheduling terms are shared clearly before you book, so you can decide with no surprises.

Refund eligibility follows The G Academy's published Refund Policy. If something goes wrong, message me and I'll help personally.

Can I combine private lessons with the Daily Club?

Yes — many students do. Private lessons build your plan; the Club keeps you practicing a little every day.

I built this Club for the students who told me: ‘I know the words, but when my partner's family starts talking, I freeze.’ If that's you, you're in the right place. — Gisele

Common questions

I'm a total beginner — will this work for me?

Yes. Prompts are leveled and live sessions group people at a similar stage.

What if I miss a day or a live session?

No pressure. Prompts stay in the chat and live sessions are recorded.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes — no long-term contract.

How is this different from Duolingo?

Apps teach you words. This community gets you speaking, with real feedback from a real teacher.
