Answers galore
Why do I need a consultation?
Before diving into English studies, we need a roadmap. This involves understanding your goals, interests, and preferred learning style, which allows us to create a tailored study plan that maximises your learning potential. Such an approach is not merely a formality; it ensures that you will make meaningful progress in the future.
Our consultation has the answers to all your burning questions. We'll explain:
-
how our classes can benefit you (we can help you avoid those "lost in translation" moments),
-
when and where they happen (sadly, no classes in outer space... yet),
-
why they're crucial for your language goals (because let's face it, nobody wants "fluent Gibberish" on their resume),
-
what specific courses are available (no, we don't teach Quantum English), and
-
who can benefit from our services (sorry, no English-speaking pets allowed, unless they're really good at grammar).
What happens in a consultation?
In a consultation, we'll chat about your learning goals (think of it as your flight destination), figure out your current CEFR level (in other words, your departure gate), and what makes you tick (or rather, what makes you want to tick "fluent in English" off your bucket list).
Typically, our consultation starts with a short, informal chat, which helps us evaluate your speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary. This conversation gives us a good sense of your current English proficiency level and allows us to identify areas for improvement.
After we get to know each other, we'll provide you with a short reading exercise to further assess your comprehension skills. You'll read a passage or text and answer questions designed to test your ability to grasp the main idea, identify supporting details, infer meaning from context, and understand the writer's purpose and tone.
In addition, you will be asked to complete a short written task to help us better analyse your writing skills. This task is aimed at assessing your level of proficiency in written English, including the variety of grammatical structures, correct use of vocabulary, and your ability to express your thoughts clearly, in a well-organised, logically structured, and understandable manner.
After completing the assessments, we'll have a detailed discussion about your current English proficiency level and the areas you need to focus on to progress. This conversation helps us understand your specific learning needs and goals better. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have about our classes, teaching approach, and any administrative issues.
