The goal of our assessment is to determine your English language level.  We have developed a system that tests your knowledge across the 4 systems (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and discourse) and  4 skills (reading, listening, speaking and writing).

Once you schedule your assessment, you will receive an invitation to complete your grammar, writing and reading tests. This is followed by a 60-minute speaking and listening test. The results are used to recommend an appropriate class for your level. 

In order to ensure class cohesion and to optimize everybody’s learning experience, students need to be assessed by us. Classes are offered at different levels so making sure the class is a good fit for the student’s level is essential.
