A: We use CEFR – The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. CEFR describes foreign language skill at six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. CEFR makes it possible for us to compare your TOEIC, IELTS, TOEFL, and other test scores easily. Real tests are recommended once every 3 months. Student language abilities are monitored, and problem areas are identified and worked on in and out of class. Upon attaining an advanced level and the desired test score, we strongly advise study or travel abroad in order to attain fluency and mastery of the language. We will advise you on excellent and affordable study abroad programs. Graduating alumni have full access to our online community, events, and resources.
