Our courses have a maximum of 12 students.
Our courses are designed with a maximum of 12 students to ensure a high-quality, interactive learning experience. Typically, each course has between 8 and 10 participants, striking a balance that allows for effective teacher-student interaction. This small group size fosters an environment where every participant can actively engage with the content and receive personalized feedback from the teacher. To further enhance participation and language practice, we incorporate various interactive methods, such as pair work and role-playing activities, ensuring that everyone has plenty of opportunities to speak and practice their language skills.
With this approach, a group size of up to 12 participants is considered ideal, as it allows for optimal involvement and individual attention. However, courses require a minimum of 6 participants to proceed, and are capped at 12 students to maintain a focused and supportive learning environment. In exceptional circumstances, we may allow a slight increase of up to 2 additional participants. To secure your spot in a course, please note that registration is only confirmed once the full course fee is paid (with the exception of semester courses). Given the limited number of spots available, we highly recommend registering as early as possible to ensure your place in the class.
