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 with 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.
Learn methods (ways) of training, which you can do at home, prior to (before) the test.
We will do a comprehensive (full) review of your skills, with feedback for more points!
What NOT to expect
We will not provide (give) a template for the answers, but we will give you a METHOD to attack (strategise) each question thoroughly.
We will not provide a question and answer sheet. You will learn the skills so you won't need ANY pre-formed answers.
During the program we will build your study guide together, to identify and strengthen any weaknesses you may have.
