The Kiwi LinGuide Bulletin

Hey Everyone! It’s me, Regan!

Welcome to the very first edition of The Kiwi LinGuide Bulletin! I know this is the first time you’re seeing my new brand name, but it’s still me—your private language tutor. Whether you’re currently having lessons with me, have in the past, or are new around here, there’s a lot to look forward to. Let’s dive right in! ✨

Exciting News: Language Packages! 🎁

I’m levelling up my services to offer a more dynamic, interactive learning experience in English, French, and Spanish. I’ll be there to guide and support you along the way, while still offering one-to-one lessons (though my availability will be limited).

There will be a limited number of packages available until March, and it’s on a first-come, first-served basis—so if you’re keen to secure a spot, don’t wait! After March, more openings will be available, but still limited. I’m excited to step up and give even more to my valued students, and that’s why I’m starting this project.

If you’re interested in hearing more about these packages, feel free to get in touch, and I’ll walk you through the process and the terms! No pressure—just here to help you keep progressing.

What’s Coming Soon? 🔜

I’ve got some exciting things in the works to make your learning even more engaging and fun:

LanguageLab Workshops 🧑‍🏫: Interactive online workshops in English, French, and Spanish. Focus on tricky grammar points and hands-on learning. (Free)
LanguageLounge Discussions 💬: Relaxed, live discussions to boost your language skills with fellow learners. Keep an eye out and jump in whenever you’re ready! (Free)
Podcast Launch 🎙️: I’m working on Kiwi LinGuide: The Language Pod, packed with language tips, stories, and more! (Free)
Instagram 📸: I’m about to start posting regularly on my Instagram page @kiwi.linguide, with content in French, English, and Spanish, along with sneak peeks of my life as a tour guide, nomad, and linguist. Give it a follow, and stay tuned for updates!
Personalised Content 📝: If you’re on a package, you’ll get access to extra goodies like audio files, personalised videos, creative stories, vocabulary lists, and more. I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions on what kind of personalised content you’d like me to tailor-make just for you!

The Website is Coming! 🌐

I’m really excited to let you know that a shiny new website and booking system are on the way! Once it’s ready, you’ll be able to easily book lessons, access additional resources, and explore all the services I offer— including language teaching, guiding, and resettling to new countries.

In the meantime, I’ll be booking lessons manually via Google Calendar, so feel free to reach out to request your preferred times. I also wanted to mention that I’ll have very limited availability on Italki from now on and will eventually be moving off the platform entirely. If you’ve been booking with me there, now’s the perfect time to reach out and start booking directly.
