Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Why do courses last only four months?
As a teacher, I noticed that 16 lessons are ideal to cover all the grammar required for each course, to allow all students to express themselves and to clarify most of the doubts.
Each time you'll learn one or two topics, you'll get the chance to practise with your classmates and then you'll receive homework.
By the end of the course you may well expect to revise some topics you've learnt at the beginning and a deeper skills training.

❓ Why are the courses scheduled at a fixed time (from 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM)?

Unfortunately, I’m busy teaching other training courses during the day, so it’s just not possible to offer a different time at the moment. 

❓ Does the course comprehend the real Cambridge exam for my level?
No, this is only good training for the exam. In fact, the exams we will work on are indeed mock exams.
No teacher can be examiner of their own students because there you will have a conflict of interests and unfairness.

❓ Will I be ready to sit an exam after taking 16 lessons?
It depends on your improvement during the course. On the last days of the course you'll be invited to take mock exams so that you may gauge your own skills before enrolling for the real exams.
I will only correct you mock exams and give you honest feedback about it. 

❓ Can I sit the exam, even though other students don't want to do so?
Yes. That's completely up to you to choose when and where to sit it. You'll find all the necessary information to reserve your exam on Cambridge's website.

❓ If I want to continue the course after the first 3 months, will the content of the course change?
Yes, obviously. Every time you take another course, the teacher will provide you with different exercises and activities in order to keep you out of your comfort zone.
