How long is a private English course? How many weeks?

One-to-one private English lessons are typically between 12 and 20 hours. You can take just one lesson per week, or more. These courses usually take about 2 months to complete. Many clients renew their learning package to continue improving in social or academic English.

Will I receive a certificate?

A PDF certificate of successful completion can be requested for any course. All certificates carry the CEDEO logo to show that we are approved providers of customized English training.

Will I use a book?

Some clients use a book or several books, and some do not. Some clients use digital materials and some use our video app. This is customized training, so every client is evaluated and coached on an individual basis. You are unique and so is your course.

Is this tutoring?

For academic clients, these lessons will definitely take the shape of tutoring. Academic clients are asked to bring their books, assignments, etc., to the lessons so that we can ensure the learning is relevant to your learning goals.

Social English clients will also be encouraged to bring their interests and goals to the training sessions. We will work together, as partners in your English language development.

When can I start my private English course?

We can generally start a course within 7 to 10 days. Private courses are offered year round.

Will my English teacher be a native speaker?

Yes, all English Center teachers are native speakers and members of our Amsterdam-based team. They come from the US, the UK, Ireland and Australia. They are qualified, well-educated professionals who will build your skills and confidence from the first meeting.

Will I have just one teacher?

We will match you with a native-speaker teacher from our Amsterdam-based team. They will get to know you, your goals, interests, and learning style.

What will I work on in my private English course?

This private weekly course will help you develop the English skills that matter most to YOU. Your course will be fully customized for your life, your level, and your interests and goals. Many social English clients work on grammar, reading, vocabulary, pronunciation and day to day emails.
