• C1 (Advanced): You express yourself spontaneously with few pauses for vocabulary searches.

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

• Listening: the ability to understand spoken English in conversations, lectures, or media. Listening is often called the first gateway to fluency.
• Speaking: producing clear, confident English in everyday and professional situations. Regular conversation practice turns passive knowledge into active output.
• Reading: decoding vocabulary, grammar, and meaning across different genres. This skill supports all others by feeding your brain rich, varied English.
• Writing: organizing ideas, choosing precise words, and following English conventions. Feedback from a tutor helps you spot patterns in your errors.

One-on-one sessions let you strengthen weaker skills while maintaining progress in stronger ones.
