The program of this course is built in a way that in every section you will cover a particular topic from 2 different angles: 1 1) you watch a role-play video featuring Veronika in different real-life situations where new vocabulary or grammar topic is presented 2) you have an explanation video where Veronika explains in a more detail what has just been presented in the role-play video This fun and interactive learning is proven to be the most effective for everyone. The course contains 15 sections (= lessons). After the course starts, you're advised to cover 2 sections per week. The Silver package students can enjoy the lessons at their own pace and those who have the Gold or the Platinum package cover them before their speaking classes with a teacher. All the students are welcome to take part in weekly workshops with Veronika on Zoom that take place every Saturday.

If you book our Gold package, you'll have 90-minute speaking classes 2 times a week with a TESOL Canada certified English teacher, so you'll have to pick your time slot. We have hundreds of student from all over the world so we try to give you as many time slots as possible although all our teachers are based in Canada. Right after you book your spot, we'll send you all the available time slots via email and you'll pick the one that works for you best. If you'd like to know the Gold package time slots before you book your spot, please find the schedule after clicking on "Gold package" ➡️ "Buy". If none of the time slots work for you, please contact our Learning Coordination Center to learn about the available time slots for the speaking classes at support@englishveronika.com. In the Platinum package, the schedule will be very flexible and you'll pick it together with Veronika and other students. Since it will be just a small group (3-5 students only), finding a time slot is not going to be a problem.

In this case we'll have 4 suggestions for you: 1. Upgrade your Gold package to the Platinum one because Platinum students choose the time for their classes themselves. Since there is a limited number of people (up to 5-7) it's easier to pick the time that will suit everyone. 2. Downgrade your Gold/ Platinum package to Silver: there are no speaking classes in the Silver package but you'll still have a chance to join weekly workshops with Veronika! 3. Have a full refund within 3-5 business days. 4. Deposit the money you paid for this course to join the next cohort (new cohort = new time for speaking classes). We launch new cohorts approximately once in 2 months.

You're more than welcome to join Veronika's speaking classes by booking the Platinum package! You will have a chance to talk to Veronika in the Silver and Gold package as well, during your weekly workshops! Workshops are different from speaking classes though. During the workshops all students from the course will be asking questions, and Veronika will answer them. During your speaking classes, you will work on your fluency, improve your speaking skills and get individual feedback from Veronika.

In order to extend the course, you need to reach out to us at support@englishveronika.com. The course extension fees: $30 - one extra month; $50 - 2 extra months of excess. Important! There’s no way to extend speaking classes in the Premium and VIP packages. Although we understand that there are moments in life that prevent you from keeping up with the course, we encourage you to follow the course's schedule and not fall behind.

If you miss your speaking classes in the Gold/ Platinum package or a workshop, you will be provided with the video recording of those lessons and you’ll be able to catch up on the material you’ve missed. Generally, we don’t recommend skipping classes as this will slow down your progress.

The weekly workshops take place on Saturdays at 10 am and 6:30 pm Toronto time. Please join to talk to Veronika, learn something new and practice your speaking with other Bootcamp students in your course! If that time slot doesn’t work for you, you’ll get video recordings. You can forward your questions for Veronika via your curator and watch Veronika answering them in the recording afterwards.

You can: 1) move to the Intermediate/ High-Intermediate course (ask the support team or your curator) 2) get a full refund. Important! The refunds are processed only during the first week of the course. If you change your mind on the second, third week and so on, you won't be able to request a refund.

We recommend using a laptop, but a phone would also work.

Workshops sessions (1 hour, on Saturdays at 10 am and 6:30 pm) are the meetings where all students from the course come together and ask Veronika questions about the course material. During your speaking classes (1,5h, 2 times a week in a group of 5-8 students) you're going to work on your fluency, improve your speaking skills and get individual feedback from your teacher.

Every teacher has their unique toolbox for maximizing your speaking progress. While the speaking activities will be different, the topics and the content will repeat what you learn on the platform.
