What parents often ask

Does my child need to know some English already?

For classes taught in English, children need basic listening and speaking skills and should be able to follow simple classroom instructions. Every new student takes a placement assessment. We recommend a suitable class according to their level and availability.

Can lessons be conducted in English?

Yes. English-medium lessons can be arranged for students with sufficient prior knowledge, subject to their placement results and available groups. Our administrators can also communicate with parents in English.

Can two children with different English levels study at your school?

Of course. Each child is assessed individually. We then recommend the programme and group that best match their age and level.

How many students are in a group?

Our small-group classes have a maximum of seven students, giving everyone more opportunities to participate and practise speaking.

Do you offer a free trial lesson?

Yes. A free trial lesson can be arranged after the initial level assessment. Please contact the relevant branch to confirm availability and schedule.

How can I book a placement test?

Choose the branch that is most convenient for you and contact its administrator via WhatsApp. Please mention the student’s age and previous experience with English. The administrator will communicate with you in English.
