How does the preparation work?

Focused on the real exam

Practical, personal and always based on the structure and criteria of the CNaVT EDUP C1 exam.

🎤

Speaking — the core of every lesson

The focus is on oral production: giving presentations, defending a position and holding a conversation at C1 level. We work with the exact task types of the EDUP exam so you know what to expect.

✍️

Writing — practise at home, feedback outside class

Writing components are practised at home using real exam assignments. Your submissions are reviewed and given detailed feedback. If desired, they can also be discussed during the lesson.

📐

Grammar — targeted and personalised

Where needed, grammar topics that are a specific challenge for you are addressed. Exercises can be assigned as homework so you can stay actively engaged between lessons.

🎯

Exam structure as a guide

We always work with the format, criteria and time limits of the real EDUP C1 exam. This means you know not only what you need to be able to do, but also how the exam works and what examiners expect.

📈

Personal learning path

After an intake analysis we determine together where the priorities lie. Each series of lessons builds on your progress — with concrete goals per session.
