Advanced Multilingual Training
Cognitive Language Skills

We do not teach our students to automatically translate or remember a few phrases, so that they can hold 30-seconds conversations before their language limitations become evident to those around them. Instead, we train our students to think and feel every new language as if it were their own while gradually articulating the most advanced cognitive skills, including, among others: multilingual shift, cognitive assimilation, natural recognition, auditive and muscle memory, and topical articulation.

From editing essays in mutiple languages to stratagizing college and graduate school applications, we provide technical and tactical advice to win any competition before it begins. Our expertise extends to scholarships, fellowships, and reasearch grants. We provide training for the verbal section of standarized tests in the US (SAT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, TOEFL) and language tests in France (DELF, DALF), Italy (CELIS), Germany (TestDaF), China (Gaokao 高考), and Japan (Nihon Ryūgaku Shike,日本留学試験).

”I've booked both Maurice for my daughter's French class at Carmel High and Alessandra to help me with Portuguese. My daughter is at the top of her class now. She wants to learn Spanish next. The program's goal laid down for her is to reach full proficiency both in French and in Spanish before college applications begin. Her tutor is preparing her for the young internship competition at UN's headquaters, too. Though I just started studying Portuguese a few weeks ago with Alessandra, I am already astonished by how fast my brain connects words and notions. You notice it from the very first lesson; this is genuinely another level of tutoring. Believe me, I've tried them all."

”My wife runs an AI start up company with multilingual staff in Toronto, Indy and Mexico. We had a Spanish tutor for more than a year. To be honest, it was half of the price we pay now but we never got to the point where we felt confident enough to hold a solid conversation with native speakers. Though we were able to understand basic transactions, we were totally incapable to follow up when people speak fast - as they do in CDMX. Then, a friend recommended us Maurice and we hired him three months ago. We now speak Spanish fluently. We have come to believe that everything happens perhaps subconsciously. Method is truly  everything here. I dream in Spanish now. Gracias Mauro! ”

”Every body at home is learning a different language. Even my husband jumped in after seeing our progress during a recent trip to Europe. This is not your average type of tutor. And this is not just another app where you learn key phrases for your next trip to Venice. These people will really teach you and change the way you remember, listen to, and think (even in English). You will see progress every week. It's absolutely incredible. Since we live in Zionsville (far from HSM) and going to Carmel Clay or HS Memorial library was not very convenient, having our tutors coming to our home instead has been a blessing. These are the best language tutors money can buy. Period!”

Nurk is terrific! My son is 10 years old. I put him in Mandarin because we were told that it takes up to a decade to become fluent. When I told Nurk this, he smiled at me. It has been a year now and my son spends countless hours during the weekend watching Chinese movies, reading newspapers, and writing shuan (Chinese calligraphy). Though not yet fluently, he also speaks Mandarin with kids in Shanghai, Singapore and DC. Nurk is confident my son will reach upper-intermediate level this summer and has suggested both an exchange program with the University of Hong Kong upon reaching advanced level in 2025, along with future interships with US and Canadian coporations in China right before college. His support is outstanding.

REVIEWS

”We recently attended our first group session in Carmel. We watched Carmen at the Palladium. The entire evening was divided in two groups (French and German) and was guided by two different tutors. For the pre-event session, the French group went for wine and cheese to a nearby restaurant while the German group went for beer and sausages to another restaurant. The pre-event sessions were conducted entirely in French and German, respectively. We discussed culture, food and music. All students were either upper-intermediate level or advanced level, and everyone was committed not to speak a single word in english during the pre-event. We all got together afterwards for the Opera. It was a marvelous experience. Not only it allowed us to test our progress but we ended up meeting very interessting people with similar interests here in Carmel. We loved it!”

- Mary P.

Dr. Bauer is dedicated, caring, and knowledgeable. I am learning faster than expected given my many failures in the past and the difficulty of the language. The only downside for me is that she is only in Carmel during summer and fall.
