How A2Z Language Works?

Every A2Z Language course follows the same simple process: find out where you are, agree a realistic plan, learn in live online lessons with detailed feedback, and practise under real test conditions until you are ready.

1. Tell us your goal

Send us a short message about the test or course you need, your current level or latest score, the score or goal you are aiming for and your deadline. If you are not sure which English test to take, say so and we will help you compare the options. See the contact page for what to include.

2. Level check

Before we plan anything, we check the skills that matter for your goal. For a test, that usually means a short piece of writing, a speaking sample and some reading and listening questions in the test format. For English at work, it means a conversation about your job and the situations where English is hardest for you. The level check tells us what is really holding your score or your confidence back.

3. A plan you can follow

We agree a target, a timeline and the type of lessons that suit you:

• One-to-one lessons are planned entirely around your weak areas and your schedule. They are the fastest route for most test candidates.
• Small-group lessons are good for speaking practice and for learning from other students' mistakes, at a lower cost per lesson.
• Company courses are designed for a team after a short needs analysis, with a level check for every participant.

We will tell you honestly how long reaching your target is likely to take. We never guarantee a score.

4. Live online lessons

Lessons are live, by video call, so you can study from home around work or university. Each lesson works on specific task types or work situations, for example IELTS Writing Task 2, an OET referral letter, PTE Describe Image, a shift handover or a guest complaint.

5. Feedback on writing and speaking

Between lessons you write practice answers and send them to your teacher. They come back marked against the official criteria of your test, with corrections, comments and an improved version of part of your answer, so you can see exactly what a higher score looks like. Speaking is practised in mock interviews and role-plays, with notes on fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation.

6. Practice tests and test-day advice

Timed mock tests show whether you are ready to book or what still needs work. Before your test we go through timing, the test-day procedure and how to stay calm. After your result, we can help you decide whether to retake and what to focus on.
