Our private lessons are 30 minutes long. Studies show that 25 minutes is the optimal learning time after which your ability to retain information diminishes. You will see better results from a daily lesson of 25 minutes than a long 4-hour study session once a week. To accommodate all schedules, it is possible to reserve lessons of 60 minutes and 90 minutes.

Short sessions of consistent learning will enable you to achieve fluency faster than irregular study, therefore, you should ideally practice English for a short period every day. A private lesson of 25 – 30 minutes three or four times a week will give you better results than a long study session once a week. Additionally, you can enjoy short listening and reading activities on your way to work or in your home.

Getting started is easy. You just need to fill in your information in the registration form in our webpage and complete the evaluation test and short questionnaire.

Your success coordinator will contact you to confirm your reservation within 24 hours of receipt of your request.
