Frequently Asked Questions about Our CELPIP Teachers
Are your teachers certified CELPIP instructors?
Yes, all our teachers are CELPIP-certified, have years of teaching experience, and their own specializations. Our teachers use their knowledge to teach students how to best approach the CELPIP exam.
Are classes conducted online or in-person?
Students can attend in-person classes at our Vancouver office or learn online from home.
I’m not comfortable with my English level. Could my instructor speak Chinese instead?
For students who have a weak English foundation, our instructors will use a mix of Chinese and English to create a stress-free environment. As you become more comfortable, our instructors will use more English to immerse you in a casual English-speaking environment, but students may use Chinese if there is anything that you do not understand.
I’d like to thank my instructor for helping me. How can I best do this?
Please leave a testimonial with us and tell us how your instructor helped you! This helps other students learn about our instructors and how they can help, so they can help more candidates accomplish their goals.
What do your teachers focus on when teaching CELPIP?
Our teachers will teach students specific tips and tricks that will help them succeed in each category of CELPIP. We also use exclusive in-house materials to provide additional practice for students and prepare them for various topics that may be on the CELPIP exam.
What should I do if I require more help with my CELPIP prep?
Students who require supplementary practice outside of group classes can book 1-on-1 private classes with their CELPIP teacher to receive additional practice in areas that are specific to the student.
If I feel I am incompatible with my current teacher, can I change to another teacher?
Of course, students are free to ask to change teachers at any time if they feel that the instructor’s teaching style does not match what they’re looking for. We work closely with our students to ensure our instructors deliver quality teaching.
What do your teachers do that is different from other tutoring centres?
Our instructors work closely with students in group settings to ensure that all students understand the material. Our classes take place over four weeks, which gives our instructors plenty of time to learn about the individual students and their strengths and weaknesses. Our instructors also helped create exclusive in-house materials provided to students that are made to reflect current CELPIP topics and trends. Our team is very familiar with CELPIP and eager to help you succeed!
