Private TEF Canada preparation puts one teacher and one student in the same room, focused entirely on your exam. There’s no waiting for other students to finish an exercise, and no group pace to keep up with: every minute of the lesson works on the tasks that show up on your test day.
How it works
Lessons are booked one-to-one, online, at times that work for your schedule rather than a fixed evening slot. You and your teacher agree on which of the four TEF Canada components to prioritize — listening, reading, speaking, or writing — based on where you currently lose points. The more hours you book, the lower the hourly rate, so a longer package costs less per hour than a handful of single lessons.
What a private course covers
- A diagnostic of your current level against TEF Canada requirements
- Task-by-task practice on the exact exam format
- Direct, personal correction of your speaking and writing, not general feedback shared with a class
- A study plan built around your target score, not a generic curriculum
Private lessons vs. group preparation
Group TEF Canada preparation runs on a fixed schedule with a mini-group of other candidates. Private lessons trade that lower cost per hour for full flexibility and your teacher’s full attention — a better fit if your exam date is close, if you have a specific weak point, or if evening group hours simply don’t fit your schedule.
