A qualified Albanian and English teacher with 25 years of experience, who is able to effectively communicate with students from diverse cultural, educational backgrounds or varying degrees of ability. A committed and dedicated professional with a proven ability to teach, motivate, and direct students to maximum performance by encouraging a positive and energetic environment. Fully conversant with the English National Curriculum, Albanian Language Standards, and experience of exploiting technology in the classroom or up to date online apps, to make the most of the learning experience.
I`ve been teaching the Albanian language to all levels of students, from beginners` to advanced. I mostly teach conversational, every day Albanian combined with some very important grammar tips. I make use of some very good textbooks from the Department of Albanian Language in the Tirana University, but also I am well on the way of publishing my own textbook and exercise book on conversational Albanian. I prefer one on one classes, but I also run courses with 3 students, max.
I have a good command of English and Italian, these two languages help me a lot in explaining very easily to my students all the grammar challenges the Albanian language has, by using the comparative way as a very effective one for the language acquisition.

Cultural journey through a language class
🩷🩷🩷Truly one of the most knowledgeable language teachers I’ve learned from.
Luli really knows her stuff, and explains things in a way that’s easy to understand.
📚Lessons are engaging, practical, and always tailored to what you need. I’ve learned a lot from her and feel way more confident using the language.
Besides learning the language, it's also a real cultural experience to talk to her 💕
Excellent teacher with a deep understanding of the Albanian language and grammar
I have been learning Albanian with the help of Luli for over a year now. She has been a wonderful teacher. She does a great job explaining grammar and highlighting where spoken/colloquial Albanian may differ. Her familiarity with several other languages also provides her with a strong ability to explain how a phrase in Albanian could be understood from the lens of a foreign language learner. I would highly recommend her for all levels of language learners, from beginner to advanced.
Easy to work with Luli. Plus, you'll learn lots of Albanian culture and history.
Luli is very accommodating with her schedule. For almost two years when I lived in the states I took classes during the day or evening.
I also chose to learn Albanian by studying poetry first. And in the process I learned a lot about the history and culture of the country.
I highly recommend working with Luli!
Don’t try to learn Albanian without Luli
The grammar is very complex but Luli truly understands and can explain it in a way that makes sense. She’s the best!
Luli is a wonderful, knowledgeable, and caring teacher!!
I have been studying Albanian with Luli for almost a year now. She is a great teacher and she knows the Albanian language inside and out! She adapts the lessons to match the learning style of her students.
The Master Tutor!
Luli's knowledge of Albanian and English grammar is exceptional. She is able to explain Albanian grammar and how it relates to the English grammar, which has been a huge help for me in learning the language.
She is kind and thoughtful and very accommodating. I've taken lessons with her both while living in the US and Albania.
Highly recommended!
I have been studying with Luli for a little over 3 months and am very pleased with the progression of our lessons. She takes the time to explain the grammatical “why” which I find very helpful and I also really enjoy the snippets of Albanian life and culture thrown into our lessons. I wholeheartedly recommend Luli to anyone considering learning this challenging and beautiful language!
Very competetent teacher, great and complete learning experience.
If you are looking for a personalized, very competent and affordable Albanian teacher, I would definitely recommend Luli.
Luli showed a great flexibility to fit my learning and timing needs .
I study Albanian mostly to speak with people rather than for academic purpose, and she was found the best way to allow me to speak as fast as possible.
Then she adjusted the lessons from there so I could incrementally improve.
She has a in-depth knowledge of the Albanian grammar, history and culture.
I enjoyed the mix of Albanian language-structure, colloquial/every day conversation and personal stories.
This mix allowed me to elevate my knowledge of the language but also my understanding of the Albanian culture, allowing me to fully integrate in the country.
Master teacher and cultural guide
I've been studying with Luli for about 6 months now. She has helped me a lot to understand the grammar more deeply and she is great about supplementing the lessons with interesting insights into Albanian culture, society, and history.
Can't recommend enough
I've been learning with Luli for around 8 months now. She is patient, thorough, and very knowledgeable. She has helped me understand concepts that I've had trouble with for years, and she does a great job of giving cultural and historical context as appropriate.
Intelligent and Dedicated Teacher
I have only studied with Luli for a few months, but even in this time, I have come to know her as a dedicated and very well studied teacher. She is prepared for each lesson, helps us understand grammar terms in both English and Albanian, and provides cultural and societal lessons as well.
Highly recommend!
My husband and I have taken lessons from Luli for the past 9 months. Her knowledge of language and ability to explain Albanian grammar is unparalleled! She is both knowledgeable and patient!
