Write better

The Speaking and Writing sections of CELPIP and CAEL are usually the most difficult because they require active skills. In other words, you need to produce something, so before the exam, you need to practice writing (and speaking) well.

We show you solid ways to prepare for the exams and improve your marks. Actually, it is not expensive; we give you homework, but much of the practice work for the exam can be done at home. A private tutor for test preparation is here to

teach you how to speak more fluently
give private essay writing classes
reduce your accent and improve your grammar
make you feel more comfortable during the test
teach you English writing skills that you can use all your life

If you SPEAK better, you will HEAR better!!

Better L & R scores

Listen and Reading are parts of the CELPIP and CAEL exams that test your passive language skills. Listening and reading in English is easier because someone else is trying to give you a message. But you still need to pay attention to how words are spoken or to the grammar that the other person is using. A private teacher gets you ready for the exam by

covering Listening and Reading during private preparation
giving you more vocabulary and showing you new idioms and expressions
reviewing grammar and pronunciation with you; for example, what is the difference between "I like coffee" and "I'd like coffee"?? Watch the grammar and how you say the words.

Why get in a CELPIP preparation course with people of different levels. Get a private one set up for you. And preparing for the CAEL exam is also helpful for future job interviews and for writing reports and emails when you do have a job. Nothing is wasted.

CELPIP and CALEL: Be prepared and score higher.
