Our programme is based on 6 different levels: from beginners to advanced levels corresponding to the Common European Framework of Languages (from A1 to C2). To asses the level each new student is required to take the entry test, both written and oral during the first day of lessons.

The classes are small, with average of 5-6 students per group. This helps to ensure that the students are given personal attention and the opportunity for self expression.

Our students come from all over the world, usually in a group there are no more than two students of the same nationality. Different languages and cultural backgrounds make the group and the lessons very interesting and the learning process particularly fast.
