What to expect
A non-competitive, supportive, and inclusive environment in which to ask questions.
How to formulate and present an answer, that the examiner is looking for.
An array of different expressions, idioms, formality, and grammar to impress the examiner.
Answers about psychological barriers to good performance.
How to sound natural and expressive using stress and rhythm.
Examples, active practice and feedback on every type of test-task in each of the four modules.
Each day, all four modules will be visited (time may not be equally weighted across modules)
Methods of training, which you can do at home, prior to the test.
A critical review of your skills performance with feedback for improvement.
What to NOT expect
We will not simply regurgitate the extant, online material which is everywhere.
We will not provide an explanation of the questions, but rather a METHOD to attack each question thoroughly.
We will not provide a question and answer sheet. That’s like giving someone a book on fitness and a picture of what they should look like, in a few months. Without a trainer, it is nearly impossible.
During the program we will build your study guide together, to identify and strengthen any weaknesses you may have.
