All classes are held remotely on Zoom. Once you register, you will be given a special link with times and dates to attend your classes. 

Classes are paid in advance and require 48 hours in advance of cancellation to receive credit to take a future class. No shows, or simply not showing up for class does not qualify for any future class credit. All credited classes must be taken within 8 weeks of when the credit is approved.

You may also request reminders by email or text so you don't miss a class!

Individual lessons address your individual needs and are focused on your interests and meeting your goals. They are perfect for students who want a more personalized experience or have individual needs in preparing for exams and homework in school.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Group lessons are an economical alternative to individual lessons. They also provide an opportunity to interact with other students, which is valuable practice in communicating and exchanging ideas. They are ideal for beginner and intermediate students who are less shy in a group, and who enjoy interactive games and activities. They are also recommended for more advanced students who are interested in communication and speaking practice.

The simple answer is: NONE! You can enter an individual lesson or a beginner group lesson with no experience at all. You need to be a good listener and be willing to repeat words and short sentences as they are presented to you in context. I make sure all beginners have great fun in class and leave each lesson with new vocabulary on a specific topic of daily living. The more classes you attend regularly, the more progress you will make.

That really depends on you: the number of classes you attend, the amount of practice you do outside of class, and your participation in each class. Beginner students can usually move to an intermediate level within one year of 2x weekly classes. Intermediate students can move to a more advanced level within 6 months to one year of 2x weekly classes. Since progress and potential is very individual, we do not guarantee you will improve or reach any level: that is entirely up to you and the effort you put into learning.
