My specialty is getting you to working proficiency fast. For Luxembourgish, that means preparing exams like the Sproochentest, the INAP exams for state employees or Lëtzebuergesch als Friemsprooch (LaF) B1 or beyond in a matter of months, not years, from zero knowledge.
Beyond languages and Luxembourg, I'm interested in math and all the sciences. I hope to share more with you on those topics.

Moi en tant que professeur
The scientific approach to Luxembourgish test-taking.
My philosophy: if you can speak English, you are close to ready for the Sproochentest! My flexible preparation program accommodates all levels and needs, from intensive crash courses with daily lessons to single preparation sessions.
Check out my 10-minute podcast here on italki for an intro. Then contact me for an assessment of your level and your roadmap to the Sproochentest.
Find me on social: the Elusive Sproochentest Helpdesk (on Telegram) and elusiveletzebuergesch (IG) for dozens of hours of additional free Sproochentest content.
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
Luxembourgish is a spoken dialect. Finding the right practice material for you can be harder than for bigger languages.
That's where I come in. I've developed a full suite of materials to help you build foundational communication skills towards concrete goals like language exams and professional proficiency given time and attention constraints: customized audiobooks, hours of recorded fluency drills, videos, and much more.

Phil is a superb Luxembourgish teacher. Thanks to him, I passed C1 Luxembourgish and continue to progress. He has a wealth of knowledge about how Luxembourgish became what it is today and about the history of the country. Our conversations are always engaging and I take something valuable away from each lesson.

Phil is an excellent instructor with keen understanding of my areas of improvement in the language, guided me effectively using various techniques towards the goal. I started learning Luxembourgish with Phil from scratch, and thanks to his classes and guidance that I passed the Sproochentest. I'm sticking with his lessons to become fluent in the language.

Phil is outstanding and would be my no. 1 recommendation for the Sproochentest and Lux language prep. I worked with him over a few months and passed. He brings a wealth of resources but primarily he's great at what he does because he gets you talking from the get-go, and that helps build confidence and capability. I also really appreciated that he was exceptionally professional - all the housekeeping was in hand from the beginning - the lessons notes, his book (co-authored with Melanie) and extra drills. It was efficient and easy to work with him; I have a demanding job and family commitments that meant using my time well and efficiently were important and his organization and agility as a teacher were really helpful and important to me. Thank you so much!
