    The learning process

    • Is online learning effective?
      Online lessons are not inferior to in-person tutoring; in fact, they excel in some aspects. For instance, the teacher can utilize interactivity, which is both interesting and beneficial for children! Additionally, you can record the lesson, allowing you to review and analyze your mistakes later on.
    • Will I receive homework assignments?
      Homework is not mandatory. However, to ensure noticeable progress, we recommend independent work, which may include: memorizing new words learned during the lesson, watching audio and video materials with subtitles, reading in a foreign language, etc. Forget about boring school assignments - in the modern world, educators ensure that such tasks are engaging and not tiresome!
    • At what age can one start online classes?
      In our school, children as young as 5 years old attend classes. Of course, every child is unique: some may have lessons for 50 minutes, while if a child is very active, they may have lessons for 25 minutes! Children enjoy online lessons because they have been familiar with electronic devices almost from birth!
    • How many sessions do I need?
      It all depends on your current level and goals. On average, it takes about 90 hours of lessons to transition from one level to another. However, much depends on your individual abilities, as well as your ability to complete homework assignments - progress is faster with them. The duration of the course can be more accurately determined by the teacher after the introductory lesson. The educator will ensure that the learning time flies by quickly and seamlessly, while maintaining a high level of effectiveness!
    • Do you have a learning platform?
      We have a platform for homework assignments, for example, with flashcards for memorizing words. Teachers conduct lessons on the Zoom platform, which is simple, familiar, and easy to use. Therefore, you can expect a flexible approach rather than a standardized course.

    Organizational Questions

    • Can I attend sessions using my phone?
      Teachers utilize various tools to make the lessons as useful and engaging as possible, such as colorful presentations, videos, and more. Engaging in such activities from a phone would be less effective and inconvenient. We recommend using a tablet, laptop, or computer instead.
    • Can I cancel or reschedule lessons?
      Yes, of course, we are all human, and sometimes we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson. Please inform your teacher or manager about any changes in plans no later than 8 hours before the start of the lesson.
    • Is it necessary for a parent to be present during the sessions?
      We highly recommend attending the introductory lesson to meet the teacher. Afterwards, your presence is not required if your child is 7 years old or older. If your child is preschool age, it's better for you to be nearby.
    • Can I change my teacher?
      Of course, yes. At any time, if you suddenly realize that you want a new experience or want to diversify your practice.
    • Is it possible to take a break from learning?
      Yes, if we're talking about individual lessons. You can "freeze" your sessions for any period; they won't disappear from your account.
