Frequently asked questions.

Do I have to take a level test?

Yes - it is free, takes thirty minutes, and we run it online or at any of our four campuses. It lets us place you in a group at your CEFR level or match you with the right tutor.

How small are group classes?

From four to eight learners, always grouped by CEFR level. No more than eight, never.

Are tutors mother-tongue?

Yes - mother-tongue or fully bilingual, trained in-house with CELTA, DELTA or equivalent certifications.

Can I take lessons online?

All formats are available online except where the experience requires presence (full-day immersion with lunch with the tutor, for instance). Most learners pick a mix.

Can I change start date or pause?

Yes. Group courses start on fixed dates each month. Private 1:1 and immersion weeks can start whenever you choose. You can pause up to two weeks in any 12-month period for free.
