Learn a language online with a teacher who actually knows you.
Private and group classes over video, with instructors we have personally vetted. Matched to your goals, your level, and your schedule — wherever you are in the world.
The Strommen online network
Why learn online with us
Not a marketplace. A vetted network.
A teacher matched to you
You are not picking from a faceless directory. Tell us your goals, level, and schedule and our team matches you with a tutor we have personally vetted. Every instructor in the network is someone we actually know.
Learn from anywhere
Lessons happen over video from wherever you are — Los Angeles, another state, another country. Same instructors, same curriculum, no commute. Start any week of the year.
Faster than a classroom
One-on-one time is the whole lesson. We compare ten hours of private online lessons to a full semester at a traditional university. Pace, topics, and focus are built around you.

From online students
What it’s like
I am taking one on one online Arabic classes with Haverj. I just have to say that she is INCREDIBLE. She gives you just enough to challenge you, push you outside of your comfort zone, and help you learn the language, which is what you came here for.Jake B. — Online Arabic · Covina, CA
Hélène Renaut is an awesome teacher. I just finished taking the eight week advanced French class and had a great, productive time all the way through. I am grateful for the guidance and based on this experience would recommend Strommen as a good bet for language study. Merci Hélène!Stephen T. — Online French · Los Angeles, CA

Which languages can I learn online?
Spanish, French, Italian, German, Mandarin, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, Portuguese, ASL, and many more — including regional dialects and specialties. If you do not see your language, ask us — we have probably taught it.
How do I get matched with a tutor?
Browse our tutors and request the one you like, or tell us your goals and let our team match you. Either way a real person handles it — there is no chatbot in the loop.
What platform are the lessons on?
Most lessons run over Zoom, Google Meet, or your tutor’s preferred video tool. You only need a device with a camera and an internet connection.
I am not in Los Angeles. Can I still take classes?
Yes. We are based in LA and have taught here since 2006, but online students join from anywhere in the world. Your tutor works with your time zone.
How much does it cost?
Rates depend on the language and the tutor. Browse our tutors to see who fits, or contact us for a quote tailored to your goals.
Private or group?
Both. Private lessons are fully tailored to you. We also run online group classes that meet weekly for eight weeks — see the group schedule.
