A structured A1-C2 path means each lesson builds on the last. No guessing what to study - the plan is always clear.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be in Canada to study?
No. Every lesson is fully online, so you can learn from anywhere in the world at a time that suits your schedule.
What levels do you teach?
From complete beginner (A1) all the way to C2 (the mastery level). We follow the internationally recognised CEFR framework, so your progress is clear and structured.
How long is a lesson and how does it work?
Lessons are 50 minutes, one-on-one and live over video. Your teacher guides you through the curriculum, corrects you in real time, and sets homework to reinforce what you learned.
How do I know which level I am at?
When you sign up you can set your level, and your teacher confirms it in your first lesson and adjusts the plan as you progress.
Can I choose my own teacher?
Yes. You browse available teachers, see their focus and availability, and book the one that fits you. You can work with the same teacher regularly or try different ones.
What happens between lessons?
You get homework, interactive exercises that grade themselves for instant feedback, and access to a curated materials library so you keep improving on your own time.
Is this good for exam preparation?
Yes. Teachers can focus your lessons on goals like IELTS, CELPIP, job interviews or business communication, alongside the core curriculum.
Do you teach children and teenagers?
