PROCESS

Step-by-Step to English Excellence.

At our language school, we have a 7-level system that is designed to help students achieve fluency in their target language. Each level is designed to build upon the skills and knowledge gained in the previous level, allowing students to gradually progress from beginner to advanced levels of proficiency.

We assess each student's language proficiency to assign the most suitable course. New students take a placement test covering listening, speaking, reading, and writing, or can provide scores from exams like TOEFL or IELTS for level determination. Our goal is to ensure students feel supported, challenged, and equipped to achieve their language goals.
