The Classes

Virtual classes are offered through Zoom or Google Meet.
Select in-person classes are offered in the Central Valley of Costa Rica.
Classes can be one-on-one or in a small group.
-
That’s up to you! We don’t form groups for you. Instead, you bring friends, family, or colleagues (or whoever you want) to form a group with.
First, we’ll assess levels, goals, and schedules to ensure it will be cohesive.If everyone is on the same page, we create the group!
-
All ages! We have had students from age two all the way to age 88! Everyone is welcome!
-
Yes! The way we teach kids is unique to their age and their needs. No boring worksheets here! They will create projects, read books, make presentations and have so much fun learning in a way that is designed to keep them engaged and excited.
Progress & Evaluations
-
We start with a simple oral level test, and every six months, or upon request, we conduct an in-depth evaluation of your speaking, reading, and listening skills. More in-depth evaluations align with CEFR standards (A1-C2).Learn more about CEFR here.
Once in class, ask your teacher for more info on how to coordinate level testing with Molly.
-
Absolutely! We welcome students of all levels needs.
-
No, we assess skills using the A1-C2 scale, as percentages aren’t an accurate reflection of language proficiency.
Companies sometimes request this of employees or job applicants but cannot in confidence give you a percentage. This goes against the way that we measure a language and our pedagogy. What is 100% anyways?
