HOW THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED:

Dignostic test
You do a complete test at the beginning to see where your strengths and weaknesses are so you know what to allocate more time towards during the course.
Goal setting
We meet for a group coaching session to establish goals and define our purpose for learning. This serves as your compass for your journey.
Understanding the exam
We have weekly speaking and listening sessions which walk you through each part of the exam, step by step. Once every two weeks, you have vocabulary sessions to equip you with the most useful chunks, and writing sessions to give you a full strategy for approaching the exam tasks and formulate logical responses.
Self-study content
At the same time you are given access to our platform with a series of videos, quizzes and tasks that walk you through the exam to help you to understand the exam requirements and get more practice for each question type. You meet with your classmates for regular discussion outside of the classroom & submit your own writing tasks for feedback.
Mid-term group coaching session
We check up on our goals to see how we are progressing, work on any blockages, and reorient ourselves for the next stage of the course.
Mid-term test
We do one more mock exam to apply the skills we have learnt thus far and see how we are progressing. You get feedback on your performance.
Sharpening our skills
In the second section of the course, the live sessions focus the skills you need to achieve a high score in the exam, such as strategies for dealing with problematic partners in the speaking exam, cohesion and coherence in writing, etc. Self and group study continues here as well.
Last group coaching
Here we check in again to see how far we have progressed, what has helped us to become more proficient language learners, and how we can apply these skills in the future.
Final exam
You do one more complete mock test to see how well you would perform under exam conditions and you receive your feedback.
