FAQs

What should my child expect in their first class?

The first class is designed to be welcoming and low-pressure. Your child will be introduced to basic greetings and simple vocabulary through interactive activities. The instructor will guide the class at a comfortable pace, giving every student time to listen, repeat, and participate.

Group classes are kept small with a maximum of 6 students, so your child will have plenty of opportunity to engage with the instructor and feel comfortable from the very first session.

Do you offer a placement assessment for new students?

Yes. We offer a short online assessment to help determine the best starting level for your child. The assessment takes approximately 5 minutes and covers basic vocabulary and phrases. Take the assessment here.
