Why choose the ‘premium’ course?
The regular course is very intensive and whilst there are 3 practice tests, there simply isn’t the time for 1:1 analysis of your speaking and writing tests. Premium students have the opportunity to take a deeper look at their writing and speaking tests one-to-one with the teacher. These private session usually take place before the regular course starts.
8 classes + 1 practice tests | Video of speaking tests for self analysis | 1:1 feedback on Writing test essays | 1:1 Feedback on Speaking tests | |
Standard | YES | NO | NO | NO |
