About the company

Tennessee Language Center was created as an agency of the State of Tennessee established in 1986 under the name Tennessee Foreign Language Institute (TFLI). It was the only one of its kind in state government throughout the U.S. Today, Tennessee Language Center, under the direction of the Institute for Public Service of the University of Tennessee, is dedicated to responsive service of the public sector, the business community and private citizens in realizing their intercultural communication goals.

All of our teachers and staff, many of whom are native speakers themselves, love languages as much as you do. They want to help you succeed in meeting your language goals.
