Translations - the key to the world

You may not have realized it, but translations play a key role in almost every part of our daily lives. After all, we are living in a global world in which international networks of communication are indespensable.

We consume products from across the world, read instructions and manuals for imported goods, watch foreign films, ... - and take for granted that we always understand everything.

 

A good translation? - An "invisible" translation!

Usually, we only realize that a text has been translated if it is badly written or even incomprehensible. Haven't we all been there? Curious dishes on the menu of a restaurant that put a smile on our face, hilarious expressions in the brochure of a hotel that made us laugh out loud, or simply incomprehensible assembly instructions that drove us to despair?

A bad translation will inevitably leave a bad impression with the recipients - an impression of low quality and unprofessionalism. In the worst case, it might even result in misunderstandings with serious consequences.

Good translations, however, are "invisible" translations, translations nobody will note. In order to make a translation invisible, it is certainly a good idea to consult the right expert. An expert for languages. A translator!

We want to be your professional partner for good translations. Because we want you to leave a good impression with your customers, clients and business partners.

Language services

There is more to translation than simply changing words from one language into another. Translation means making you understand a foreign text. Translation means making a foreign audience understand your texts. Translation means breaking down language barriers.

For this purpose, we offer a wide range of language services:

  • translation of business correspondence
  • translation of technical texts like instruction manuals, data sheets, etc.
  • translation of websites
  • transliteration and translation of foreign language audio records

A surcharge will also be added for texts which require extensive formatting and for other additional services.

Languages are important - every child knows that...!

However, learning a language is not always a piece of cake. That's something else many children come to realize sooner or later. For many students, languages are the most difficult subjects at school.

We have therefore set ourselves the goal of making it easier for students to learn English. And since we are convinced that learning a language properly is only possible if students are motivated, we are always trying to combine the learning process with fun and enjoyment.

Our many years of experience have shown that students who like coming to their tutoring lessons will learn more in the long run - and consequently, will be better motivated for school.

 

The teacher

Private lessons are usually taught by Mag. Bernhard Zöttl (Bernie), who has been teaching English to teenagers for more than 15 years. He has taught at Schülerhilfe Innsbruck, at VHS Innsbruck for the "Innsbrucker Ferienzug" summer school programme, and at International Teen Summer Camps on the island of Malta.

 

Our promises - and our expectations

There are many reasons why students might feel uncertain about a subject at school; a lack of basic knowledge, a change of teachers, absence due to illness, insufficient explanations at school, etc. Whatever the reason, uncertainty usually results in stress, demotivation and often bad grades.

Our goal is to help our students clear their uncertainties, close knowledge gaps and discover how much fun there is in speaking the English language.

To achieve that, we will teach the basic rules of grammar and style, look at different sorts of texts and practice reading, writing and listening skills. We can also arrange a language week or a stay at an international summer camp for your child.

In our position as language experts, we will try to clear any questions or doubts and motivate your child to learn English with fun and enthusiasm. In return, we expect your child to actively participate in the learning process by asking questions, always taking all their school books and notes to our lessons and showing interest.

We promise to do our best to introduce your child to the exciting world of languages. However, we cannot perform miracles - especially if a child is sent to tutoring lessons only a very short time before an exam, and we certainly cannot promise that your child will write good grades if there is no co-operation and willingness to learn.

Angebotene Sprachen

Currently we are offering tutoring lessons in English for students of all types of schools and of all levels.

If you are interested in further languages or in an individual course for your child, please contact us at mail@sprachraum-innsbruck.com or call +43 650 8409918.

One-to-one lessons

We believe that every student is unique! For that reason, we are convinced that one-to-one lessons are the best method to achieve success in English. Together with each student, we can tackle problems individually and clarify any doubts - for good.

All our students will get exactly what they need to succeed. Together, we will revise the topics covered in their English lessons at school, catch up on anything they have missed, and prepare for upcoming tests, exams or presentations.

We offer tailor-made, individual English lessons instead of mass processing. In order to make our lessons a positive experience for everyone involved, there are some rules to follow:

  • Generally, we recommend taking regular lessons, as this is the best way to guarantee long-term success.
  • We do, however, offer single lessons under certain circumstances, e.g. to prepare for an important test or exam.
  • We put great emphasis on attendance and punctuality. We take our time to support our students in the best way we can - thus, we expect them to do the same.
  • It is possible to cancel or postpone a lesson due to illness or other reasons. However, we would kindly ask you to do this at latest 24 hours before the scheduled lesson. Furthermore, we would like to point out that it might not always be possible to arrange an alternative date.
  • Since we work with each of our students individually, it is absolutely necessary that our students always bring all their books and notes from school to the lessons. This makes it possible for us to revise the topics covered at school and spot any problems.
  • If students are repeatedly absent or come to our lessons unprepared, we reserve the right to refuse any further lessons. In such a case, the parents will be informed immediately. Unexcused absence is not acceptable, therefore students (or their parents, respectively) will be charged for any arranged lessons missed.

If you are interested in our one-to-one lessons, please contact us at mail@sprachraum-innsbruck.com or call +43 650 8409918.

We are looking forward to showing your child how much fun English can be!

Group lessons

In our experience, every student takes a different approach to language learning. Thus, we generally recommend one-to-one lessons. We do, however, offer group lessons under certain circumstances...

  • if the students are in the same course at school
  • if the students are preparing a presentation, project, etc. together
  • if the students are taking the same exam or a test with the same teacher


We can organise special group courses for students who are preparing for exams, including Cambridge exams (FCE) and the Austrian school-leaving exam (Zentralmatura).

We offer lessons for groups of 2 - 4 students.

If you are interested in group lessons, please contact us at mail@sprachraum-innsbruck.com or call +43 650 8409918.

Teen language courses in Malta

For teenage students aged 12 and above we can organise language trips to the Mediterranean island of Malta.

Our partner schools in Sliema, St. Paul's Bay and Mdina/Rabat offer English courses with host family accommodation, special packages for groups (school classes & accompanying teachers), as well as international summer camps with 24-hour supervision.

For more information about English Camps and Teen Courses in Malta, please contact us at mail@sprachraum-innsbruck.com or call +43 650 8409918.

Rates

In order to be as flexible as possible and arrange our lessons in accordance with our students' timetables at school, we generally offer lessons of 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes. Lessons are charged per hour.

For one-to-one lessons, we charge € 25.-- per hour.

To ask about prices for group lessons and special courses, please contact us at mail@sprachraum-innsbruck.com or call +43 650 8409918.

If you are interested in a Teen Summer Camp or a language trip to Malta for your child, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can arrange a course at special rates with our Maltese partner schools.
