Language is more than words; it’s connection, belonging, and confidence. I’m Loren Trad, and I’ve dedicated my career to helping learners find their voice. Today, whether you're new to Australia, preparing for a life-changing exam, or rediscovering your heritage, I'm here to lend you a hand in your endeavour to attain your next milestone. I don’t just teach a language, I open doors.
I know firsthand the challenges and joys of navigating new languages and cultures. My journey as an educator began over two decades ago, fuelled by a passion for making learning personal and practical. After earning my bachelor’s degree at The American University of Beirut, I found myself more drawn to education, so I proceeded to complete a master’s degree in the US at Eastern Michigan University. That was when the path revealed itself and my career obliged. Teaching became a passion, and witnessing students’ great strides from start to finish became the reward. I spent two decades in Dubai, UAE, nurturing the youth and expanding their horizons. As my career developed, I also decided to explore adult teaching at Berlitz, the renowned international language and cultural training provider. Related certifications ensued to ensure I was in the driver’s seat. Today, I continue to work with adults, and it’s been worth every step as their sense of achievement becomes my fuel.


My Approach
I believe every learner is unique. That’s why I tailor each lesson to your goals, your pace, and your story. My teaching style is empathetic, adaptable, and always focused on building real-world confidence, inside and outside the classroom. Having started as a high school teacher, building rapport and earning students’ trust was my priority. This approach proved to be a cornerstone for learning as students were not only at ease but trusted that the right person will personalise their progress plan. By building on strengths, identifying areas of improvement, and designing a plan for improving them, we work together to advance those language skills from beginner or intermediate to proficient. Working with adults is a bit different. A point I’d like to emphasise here is the power of choice. We can’t deny that choosing to do something is a gateway to embarking on a journey where agency is the driver. With adult learners, I find that setting goals, working with specific contexts and applying regular assessments to evaluate where they stand create a comprehensive strategy. These are pivotal elements in my approach.

Let’s get more personal
‘The voice of wisdom’ is what my close friends call me. Even though I feel humbled, I can’t deny that there is some truth to it. Will have to ask my friends for testimonials! My other roles as a mother, wife, daughter, sister and aunt make my personal resumé rich in experiences of someone who’s just there unconditionally and with no questions asked. Whether to listen when things get tough, celebrate an achievement, give advice, or be there for support, I know that my close people are happy I’m around!
Can’t end this section without talking about what reading and travelling mean to me. A quote once mentioned that reading makes you live a thousand lives, not just one and another depicted travelling as the ultimate way to open minds. I must bear witness to both. My life has been shaped by them and adding the ‘learn and explore’ option on this website was because I want travellers to Melbourne to be grateful for the privilege of being able to learn about this beautiful soft city and its diversity. As for reading, maybe we can add a book club soon.
It’s all about human connection, isn’t it!
