Frequently asked questions

Progress depends on your starting level, consistency, practice outside class, vocabulary revision, and your individual goals. There is no guaranteed timeline, and we won't promise one. What we can promise is a clear structure, regular speaking practice, and feedback on what to work on next.

Your materials are discussed before you start, so you'll know exactly what is provided for the lessons and whether anything needs to be purchased separately. Nothing is sold to you as a surprise later.

Classes are scheduled inside three windows, all in Korea Standard Time (KST, UTC+9): 8:00–10:00 AM, 6:00–8:00 PM, and 10:00 PM–12:00 AM. These are available windows, not guaranteed bookings — the exact days inside your window are agreed in writing before you pay.

Full payment is due before the four-week course begins, by Wise or PayPal. Student absences are not eligible for make-up classes. If you need to stop or change a course, tell us in writing and any change to the remaining classes is confirmed in writing before it takes effect. The Policies page has the full wording.

Groups are arranged with a similar starting level in mind, and with a maximum of three students the pace can flex. If your level doesn't fit the group available, we'll tell you rather than place you somewhere that won't work.
