What to expect
A non-competitive, supportive, and inclusive environment in which to ask questions.
How to formulate (make) and present (give)an answer, that the examiner (score keeper) is looking for.
An array (variety) of different expressions, idioms, formality, and grammar to impress (please) the examiner.
Answers about psychological barriers (why our brain freezes in tests).
How to sound natural and expressive using stress and rhythm.
A lot of examples, plus active practice and feedback on every type of task (question) in each of the four modules (parts) of the test.
Any module may be reviewed at any time.
Learn methods (ways) of training, which you can do at home, prior to (before) the test.
A comprehensive (full) review of your skills, with feedback for more points!
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.
