Some coaching relationships are measured in the number of sessions. Others are measured in years. Since 2021, VivaLing coach Zaan has been a consistent, familiar presence in Solea and Oria’s learning journey — there through the milestones, the breakthroughs, and all the little moments in between. That is what makes VivaLing different: our coaches don’t simply deliver lessons and move on. They show up week after week, year after year, building the kind of trust that makes learning feel natural and reassuring.
Coach Zaan still remembers the time when Solea was completely obsessed with pandas — they appeared in stories, conversations, and almost every activity. Today, Solea happily chats about her latest favourite series, Friends. Oria, meanwhile, once adored Disney princesses, and now her enthusiasm has shifted to Lilo & Stitch. Through all these evolving passions, Coach Zaan has been there, smiling, sharing the moments that make their learning journey so special.
From kindergarten through primary school and beyond, this continuity is at the heart of our approach :a relationship that is built session by session, where children feel confident enough to try things out, make mistakes… and make progress.
A word from their coach
“Solea and Oria’s journey at VivaLing is one of those stories that truly warms the heart. They began as complete beginners, taking their very first steps in English with courage and curiosity, and over the years they have grown so beautifully. Week after week, they show up with bright smiles, positive energy, and something special to share — and yes, sometimes even their cat joins the lesson too! Their progress is the result of consistent effort, laughter, patience and wonderful perseverance. They gently remind us that when we persevere and believe in ourselves, incredible growth happens quietly.”
Parent Testiomonial
“Our experience with VivaLing has been a real success. Teacher Zaan has now become an integral part of our two daughters’ lives. They started lessons in kindergarten and have since made great progress. They always enjoy their classes thanks to Teacher Zaan’s involvement and dedication. We have been able to maintain continuity in their learning and keep the children motivated. They do not see the class as homework at all, but rather as a game where they can talk about their lives with Teacher Zaan. As parents, we are completely satisfied. Learning languages is essential for us, and it has been happening in the best possible way over these years. We recommend these classes 100% to all parents.”
— La famille de Solea & Oria
Solea and Oria’s story is a reminder of what language learning can truly look like when the conditions are right: a gifted coach, two curious learners, and the gift of time.
At VivaLing, we believe that the most significant progress isn’t made in a single decisive moment, but through hundreds of small moments: a shared laugh, a new word that finally makes sense, a lesson that never feels like a chore.
The reason families keep coming back to us year after year is that their children don’t just study a language – they use it. It’s not just about rules or theory, but real conversations, laughter and interaction.
Because that’s what language is really for: building connections with the people around you.
