Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Our intensive course (20h/week) is compatible with student visa applications. We provide an official enrollment certificate once conditions are met.

16 hours of in-class tuition with your teacher (Monday to Friday) + 4 hours of mandatory guided practice on Google Classroom and your workbook. The 4h are structured, tracked, and validated by your teacher — not optional homework. This “smart intensity” model avoids cognitive saturation while maximizing retention.

Maximum 10 students per group. This guarantees high speaking time and personalized feedback.

Most students advance roughly one CEFR sub-level per 8-week session (e.g. A1 → A2, or B1 → strong B1/early B2). A placement test and mock exam measure your progress precisely.

You can join your class online via Google Meet (up to 5 times per month). All teacher notes are saved in the cloud — you never lose the content.

Sessions run in 8-week cycles, but you can join any ongoing session on a Monday or Wednesday after the placement test.

250€/week for 1-3 weeks, 195€/week for 4-16 weeks, 180€/week for 17+ weeks. No registration fees. All materials included. 5% discount for cash payment.

In case of visa refusal (with official proof), tuition is refunded minus 5% admin fees. See our full Terms & Conditions for details.
