Luli Thomai
Albanian Language Tutor
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, it̵7;s also a real cultural experience to talk to her 💕

You’ve captured exactly why Luli is such an important partner for us in supporting expats moving to Albania—her clear teaching style, personalized approach, and the cultural insight she brings make a real difference in helping people feel confident and at home. 💕
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!
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.

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.
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.
