Learn languages organically
What organic food and language learning have in common
(a.k.a My Philosophy)
It’s Alive
Language is a living thing that can’t be condensed into just one book or course. While it’s useful to understand grammatical structures, a lot of things in a language are just the way they are and become internalized in us through a lot of contact and use. By interacting with language in its various forms, you can absorb grammar and vocabulary in a natural, organic, way.

Realistic View
If you are ambitious, I’d be happy to help you set up your classes and the work outside of them so that you can reach your goals quickly yet sustainably. However, even if you are not striving for the stars, we can still make an effective and enjoyable lesson plan for you, as long as you are accepting of the fact that it will take you longer to get there.
Do these principles resonate with you, but you’re not a student? Even better!
Who I am
Student & Freelance Language Tutor
Hello! My name is Filip and as corny as it sounds, I really like foreign languages. And not only because of the opportunities they bring us in terms of work, study or leisure. The reason why I like to dive into the tangle of new words and grammatical structures again and again is the human closeness.
I can see myself how differently I perceive life in German-speaking countries when I don’t have to rely solely on English. Maybe you too want to be closer to your Austrian colleagues, or you want to speak to the locals in their native Spanish while traveling. Maybe you want to be able to talk to your Slovak girlfriend’s parents, or maybe you’ve been living in Slovakia for a while and would like to decode us through our language.
No matter what your intentions are, it’s great not to be on your own when it comes to learning. I’m very grateful for the many language communities I get to be a part of, as well as for all my teachers and patient native-speaking friends I’ve had so far. Thanks to them, I have been able to get to an advanced level in 3 foreign languages and be able to impart my skills further. If you, too, need a little nudge and some structure in your learning process, check out HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER.
