How Credits Work

Ready to begin?

Apply for admission to get started. Once you're accepted, you'll be able to purchase credits and start booking lessons that work for your schedule.

Tacoma Language Academy uses a simple credit system for all private and small group lessons. Instead of paying per session, you purchase credits and use them to book the lessons that fit your schedule.

Each lesson costs a set number of credits:

• 1 credit = Private lesson (1-on-1, 60 minutes)
• 2 credits = Small group lesson (2–5 people, 60 minutes total)

Courses use a variable number of credits depending on their length and format. Some short courses may cost just 3–5 credits, while more intensive or multi-week courses may require 8–12 credits or more. You'll always see the credit cost before enrolling.

You'll see the required number of credits displayed clearly before booking any lesson or enrolling in a course.

Credits never expire and may be transferred to another Tacoma Language Academy member upon request. Group credits are shared—only one person in the group needs to book and use credits.

All credit purchases are final and non-refundable.
