| Other language schools also have native speaking teachers, normally one or two. In total how many do you have?
|
| |
|
A school can say that it has native speakers if those are Hungarian teachers with qualifications for native speaking level. 90% of our teaching staff was born in native speaking countries. |
|
|
| 2.
| I would like to work or study abroad. Could your school help me with this?
|
| |
|
Yes, we can help with both studying and working abroad. We are in contact with 3 schools in England which can help in getting legal jobs. For those who wish to learn Spanish we provide the option of studying in Guatemala. For more information click on our study abroad link or contact our staff for more information. |
|
|
| 3.
| Do you offer classes for children?
|
| |
|
Yes. The classes are small so that the teacher can have a good connection with the student which is important at such a young age. We focus mainly on speaking. We also organize trips for the children and organize parties for events such as Halloween etc.

| How does your school differ from the others?
|
| |
|
In our school you don’t have any homework or extra obligations. Our direct English teaching method focuses on repetition and this breaks down the barriers that many people face when it comes to actually speaking the language. Therefore the student can reach a level at which they can communicate effectively faster than at schools using a traditional method. Writing is practiced though dictation, which allows the student to learn the spelling of words, and to practice listening at the same time. |

| 5.
| When can I join?
|
| |
|
You can join at any time throughout the entire year. All you need to do is take a placement test and join the class which is at your level. Contact the school for more detailed information on current times and levels of courses. |
|
|
| 6.
| How long does a course last for?
|
| |
|
Our courses run constantly. It depends on a student’s ability how fast he/she improves. After one month of studying we can recommend the number of hours that a student will need to have to pass the Cambridge First Certificate exam. We have courses running throughout the year for elementary classes and above. In addition, we generally have a new Beginners course beginning every month. Contact the school for more detailed information on current times and levels of courses. |

|
| 7.
| Is it worth studying for four weeks?
|
| |
|
Of course! In four weeks time you can brush up on the grammar you lost or can increase your confidence in speaking! Most of our classes *(at 6 hours a week) can learn more in one month with us than in one month with traditional methods of teaching. We also offer intensive courses (10 – 20 hours per week) in which you can learn even faster. |
|
|
| 8.
| Where is the school located?
|
| |
|
The school is very accessible. We are located close to Batthány tér -- on the M-2 (Red) metro line -- with its numerous bus stops, tram stops as well as the HEV station. See our map for more details.
|
|
|
| 9.
| Is the school open in the summer?
|
| |
|
Yes, the school is open throughout the year, only closing for public holidays. During the summer, we offer additional intensive courses for the Callan Method as well as Exam Preparation Courses. We also maintain our general English language courses throughout the summer. |
|
|
| 10.
| What is the average age of your students? Am I too old or too
young?
|
| |
|
We have students ranging from 15-90 years old and children’s classes from ages 5-13. We try to place our students in classes with more or less the same age group to make the atmosphere as comfortable as we can. |
|
|
| 11.
| How long will it take me to learn English?
|
| |
|
The level of learning English varies for individual students. The time depends on many things, such as a person’s ability, number of hours studied, as well as whether you take a break or not. Our students constantly speak in the class and can therefore converse effectively in a matter of months. In general to go from a beginner level to the Cambridge Preliminary level, the average time is about a year, although some students can pass their exam within a matter of 6 – 8 months! |
