Levels of English

Usually, the ladies take lessons in modules. Each module consists of 16 hours of tuition. 6 modules constitute a level. The program at the moment consists of 3 levels: Elementary, Pre-Intermediate and Intermediate. Of course, we teach at all levels, so for our students who reach advanced level we have a custom-made program specially tailored for their needs, for example, a TOEFL preparation course.

Before the lady starts taking lessons with us we interview her and ask to do a test to establish her level of English. After that she either joins a group or takes one-to-one lessons with a tutor, depending on her needs and schedule. I am attaching a sample program for pre-intermediate level.

Duration

Usually each lesson lasts 2 hours. Depending on the lady's schedule, they may take place at any time during the day. The latest they begin is 6 p.m.

If the lady takes lessons in a group, 1 module lasts 16 hours. That makes 8 lessons 2 hours long each. Usually a module is completed in just about 3 weeks.

Attendance

Usually our ladies are very punctual. They realize how important foreign language lessons are for them and they value this gift very highly, so they do not miss classes without a very serious reason.

Should this happen, we have a rule that they should let us know in advance. The latest they should inform us is 1 hour before the lesson. In this situation, the teacher can find another time that will be suitable for them both.

If a student misses a lesson without warning either the manager or the teacher, 1-hour class is considered to have been held.

If a student is late, the teacher waits for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes wait she can consider 1-hour class to have been held and is not obliged to wait any longer.
