Why us

Why choose our courses?

Our preparation courses get you thoroughly familiar with the format and content of the ECL exam, while individual lessons are built around exactly what you need. Both paths are led by the same teacher and the same targeted feedback.

Individual approach and expert guidance

Every student is different, so we treat teaching personally — we track your progress, analyse your strengths and weaknesses, and give you precisely targeted feedback. We know what to focus on when preparing for the exam, and we'll help you avoid the most common mistakes.

Years of experience with ECL preparation

Our work is not just about teaching Slovak — we know the exam format, its difficulty and its scoring inside out. Based on that experience, we know how to prepare you effectively so you feel confident at the exam and achieve the best possible result.

Individual lessons tailored to you

In individual lessons you set the content — conversation, grammar, vocabulary for work, or ECL preparation. The whole hour belongs to you, we teach levels A1 to C1, and we keep adjusting the plan for the next lessons to your progress, not to a group's pace.

Learn whenever it suits you

We schedule individual lessons around your time and run them live on Zoom, so you can learn from anywhere. You can start whenever you like — no waiting for a new course to open or for an exam date.

What our students say

I am very happy and grateful to Silvia for our time together. I would like to thank her for this course, which prepared me for the ECL exams, and for the fact that I passed. The course was always informative, we had a rich programme and lots of new information. I recommend Silvia as a teacher and above all as a person who makes learning easy and interesting!!! Once again, thank you for the new experience.

What I liked most about the course was that we prepared for exactly what was waiting for us at the exam. There was no unexpected shock. We didn't just study grammar — we trained listening, writing and reading. Most foreigners imagine the exam as a grammar test, but in reality it's completely different. And I am very grateful that you prepared us for exactly what was needed.

Dear Silvia, from the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for the hours we spent together in the Slovak course. Thank you for your kindness, for the conditions you created for my study of Slovak, and for the invaluable knowledge you shared with me with such joy and love. The pleasant atmosphere in the group, the positive emotions, the relevant topics and your talent as a qualified teacher helped me learn the Slovak language. I recommend to all Ukrainians interested in learning Slovak to join the course, where in a short time you can get to know the language and traditions of the country in which we found refuge because of the war in Ukraine! With respect, Tatiana!
