English in Moscow - Pre-intermediate level A2+

Time – is not less valuable capital than money; because of my work (by the nature of my work) I need to plan my time in such a way that every hour and every minute is used effectively to the best advantage. The Studio fully complies with those criteria. The lesson is 90 minutes; it starts and finishes without any delays. The studying process is structured and organized professionally. Each lesson is so richly filled, that in the end of the lesson I can barely hold my attention. Audio, video, real-life communication – everything promotes the quickest possible language acquisition. I have classes in the morning before work and I must say that every time I get my energy boost, tons of positive emotions and pleasure from communication with such intelligent, knowledgeable professionals. It is one of those situations when “enjoyable” and “effective” go together.

After the placement test we started to study with a book consisting of 8 modules. Now I am on module 5. My wonderful teacher - Gary – step by step pulls me into the world of English language. Gradually I have started to understand the language structure and syntax.  The course is delivered as studying Grammar, practicing this Grammar in real-life dialogues for different situations, reading informative text, doing homework with following teacher’s feedback. “Post flight debriefing” (as we would say it in Russian) or error correction is performed in a pleasant way, with a lot of jokes and examples, and by the way, this kind of setting is best for memorizing collocations, idioms and pieces of texts. I recommend having classes twice a week; more often is if difficult for people with busy schedule, and if you study less – you will take way too long to reach the goal.

I am happy to state some facts/say the following:

1. I can read without dictionary 2. I watch movies in English 3. When I travel abroad I am not scared of speaking (general English topics for now) 4. All that makes my life easy and fulfilled; gives me confidence that first time in my life I am going the right way in studying English.

When travelling to different countries I now communicate with people much easier. Now I feel much more self-confident speaking good English!

The Studio is very comfortable, light-filled and spacious. You can relax and dip into the world of English. It is really great that there are several well-equipped classes and also the area where you can have coffee if you arrived a little early. Everything is really appropriate!
