FREQUENTLY ASKED
Before you decide,
Before you decide,
here is what to check.
Which students is Fast-Track English Tutoring for?
Students who want to build English skills and academic ability while adjusting to a local school, students preparing for or attending an international school, and returnees who want to keep up their English.
What do you mean by academic English?
The English needed for school classes and learning, beyond everyday conversation: understanding subject texts and academic vocabulary, discussing and presenting with evidence from sources, and organizing ideas in writing. The scope of the suggested roadmap depends on level.
Can we apply before moving abroad?
Yes. Tell us when and where your child is moving and their grade, and we will suggest lessons that prepare them for the communication and class participation they will need at school.
How can tutoring help if my child already attends a local school?
We build the things your child actually struggles with into the learning goals: hard-to-follow explanations or assignments, presentations and writing, and communicating with friends and teachers. This helps your child adjust to school life and schoolwork faster and with more confidence.
Will my child keep the same teacher after the diagnostic class?
We aim to continue with the same teacher and run classes in blocks of at least 4 weeks. If a teacher change is unavoidable, the diagnostic results and learning records are passed to the new teacher so classes continue without disruption.
What does the 25-minute diagnostic class look at?
Through an interview, the teacher looks closely at current speaking, reading and writing levels and identifies strengths and the areas to work on first. We suggest a lesson direction based on those 25 minutes together with the learning history in your application.
Do we have to sign up for 12, 24 or 48 weeks at once?
No. These are recommended paths based on the diagnostic. Classes run in 4-week blocks with a goal check every 4 weeks. Usually, a full reassessment every 12 weeks leads to suggestions for the next materials and curriculum.
How do we sign up for classes?
You can choose one of two formats for each 4-week block.
- Twice a week (25 minutes each): 8 classes in 4 weeks; recommended for short, frequent practice.
- Once a week (50 minutes each): 4 classes in 4 weeks; more time in each class to learn and practice.
Can we change the class schedule?
If you need to reschedule, please contact our team at least 48 hours before the class starts. We will check the teacher's availability and arrange a new time.
If you request a change or cancellation less than 48 hours before the class starts, or the student is absent, that class is deducted. The credits deducted depend on the booked class length: 1 credit for a 25-minute class and 2 credits for a 50-minute class.
