Before you enrol
Frequently asked questions
These are the questions parents ask us most often on the phone. If yours isn't here, give us a call.
The first step is always the hardest. Don't hesitate to take it.
We assess each pupil's level of English and propose the study plan that suits them best. At the end of every completed level pupils sit an exam for that level and receive a certificate.
What ages do you accept?
We teach pupils from grade 1 to grade 12, roughly ages 6 to 18.
Level 0 is designed for children meeting the English alphabet and sounds for the first time, so no prior experience is required.
How do you decide which level my child needs?
We run a free placement test before enrolment.
The test covers reading, writing and speaking. Based on the result we suggest the group and study plan that match what the pupil actually knows, rather than which school year they are in.
Which system do you teach?
We follow the Cambridge certification system.
Levels run Starters, Movers, Flyers, A2, B1, B1+, B2, B2+ and C1, and in the upper years we prepare pupils for the international IELTS exam.
How long does one level take?
One level corresponds to one school year and ends with an exam.
That way at the end of each year you can see exactly how far your child has progressed, instead of only knowing they attend English lessons.
My child studies English elsewhere. Do they start over?
No. The placement test determines where they continue from.
We accept pupils partway through the programme when their knowledge matches the level in question.
How do lessons fit around school?
Groups run in the afternoon and early evening, with a flexible schedule.
The flexible schedule lets us fit around each pupil's school timetable. Exact days and times are agreed at enrolment.
What happens if my child falls behind?
The teacher tracks every child and flags problems early.
We work with an individual approach and a personalised study plan, so gaps are caught while they can still be closed within the group.
How do I enrol my child?
Call us or send an enquiry through the site.
We arrange the free placement test, after which you receive a proposed group and schedule. Taking the test does not commit you to enrolling.
Didn't find your answer?
