Throughout each class, your tutor will be listening carefully in order to correct any mistakes in your pronunciation, grammar or sentence structure. Your tutor will first send the feedback during class, via Skype, so you can review it together and ask questions.
After every lesson, your tutor will also email you a class report pointing out all these issues highlighted in class. This will allow you to review your lesson and keep track of your progress!
The class report focuses on Pronunciation, Vocabulary, Grammar and Sentence Structure. |
