Pricing depends on a few key elements:

• A2 (Elementary): You manage everyday tasks: shopping, booking appointments, asking for directions.
• B1 (Intermediate): You read straightforward articles and write coherent paragraphs.
• B2  (Upper-Intermediate): You handle professional emails, presentations, and academic reading.
• C1 (Advanced): You produce clear, well-structured writing on complex subjects.
• C2 (Proficient): You use English with the precision and flexibility of an educated native speaker.

Personalized tutoring ensures steady progress through each CEFR stage at your own pace.

The four skills of ESL are listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

• Listening: comprehending native speakers at natural speed, from casual chat to formal presentations. Listening is often called the first gateway to fluency.
• Speaking: expressing ideas, asking questions, and holding conversations with native speakers. Regular conversation practice turns passive knowledge into active output.
• Reading: building the input that fuels vocabulary growth and grammatical intuition. This skill supports all others by feeding your brain rich, varied English.
• Writing: producing emails, essays, or social media posts with clarity and correctness. Writing forces you to slow down and apply grammar rules consciously.

Personalized tutoring ensures listening, speaking, reading, and writing grow together.
