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.

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.
Response from Expats in Albania
Thank you so much for this review! We are really glad Luli’s experience & dedication have proved meaningful for you.
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.
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.
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!
