Our online lessons allow direct connection with highly qualified teachers, often native speakers, who are fluent in both languages.
This format offers greater flexibility in scheduling.

Methodology:
The teaching method may vary depending on the teacher, but we always ensure a high standard of quality.
We assess each student’s needs to create a personalized learning path.

Evaluation test:
Before the first lesson, we send a test to assess your level and identify areas for improvement, in order to tailor the learning plan.
