HOW IS THE LEVEL OF MY KNOWLEDGE DETERMINED?
The level of students’ knowledge is determined on the basis of FREE testing in the school premises after which our qualified teachers determine the exact level of the students’ knowledge. The student is then advised which course to start and then they join the group together with other students who have the same level of knowledge.

In addition, during the school year our students have periodic tests showing the extent to which the student progresses, so that any difficulties in mastering the material can be reacted to timely. Also, parents can talk to our teachers throughout the year if they feel that their child is not progressing enough or if they want to check if their child is regularly attending classes and doing homework.

However, grammar is not taught as something dry and difficult, but we try to make you understand it through its practical use in conversation.

The advantage of group classes is primarily reflected in the fact that you will communicate with more people and at the same time listen to other group members. In this way, you will lose fear of errors and communicate more freely in a foreign language. The main advantage of individual teaching is the opportunity for the teacher to devote the whole class only to you and to focus on the segment of the foreign language that is the most difficult for you. Also, you can select topics to process in individual classes by yourself. In addition, you can set the appointments with the professor and they do not have to be fixed as opposed to group classes..
