    Stanislav is a wonderful teacher! Our lessons are called "Discussions about weekly topics and news," and this format suits me perfectly. He always offers several articles to choose from, so we never run out of interesting topics. After just a few lessons, we built a great atmosphere where we can freely jump from world politics to video games =) Stanislav is interested in so many things that everyone can find something to talk about with him. What I appreciate most is how he adapts the conversation to my interests and always has something to add. He is also very punctual and charismatic. Thanks to him, I've noticed real progress: I can now start a conversation on any topic without hesitation. If you're looking for speaking practice at any level, I can't recommend Stanislav enough!

    I have been taking weekly classes with Ariadne for more than a year now, sometimes choosing Structured Speaking Practice and sometimes Free Conversation, and I always really enjoy our lessons. She creates such a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere, while at the same time giving really helpful corrections and suggestions. I especially appreciate the detailed written feedback after each lesson, which is extremely useful. Our Free Conversation lessons always feel very natural, and we discuss a wide range of interesting and varied topics. This has not only helped me expand my vocabulary, but also improved my fluency and, most importantly, my confidence when speaking English. The Structured Speaking Practice lessons are just as enjoyable and effective. Each session is thoughtfully structured—balancing speaking, listening, reading, and vocabulary practice in a perfect way. Ariadne is professional, punctual, always well-prepared, and I can recommend her without any hesitation.

    Smith老师是一位很好的老师,在跟着老师学习之前,我英语基础很差,很难开口说完整句子,目前距离第一次试课不到20天,上了5次课,加上日常练习和完成作业,已经可以针对一个话题说2-3分钟的口语(其实五分钟以上也可以)。Smith老师的一些学习方法也给了我一些深入学习英语的启发 非常非常幸运能遇到Smith老师 I initially came to italki because I felt completely stuck when trying to speak English out, and practicing on my own just wasn't working. Mrs. Smith is incredibly patient. She customizes the lessons based on my specific needs and speaks at a perfect pace. Whenever I don't understand something, she always finds a different way to explain it until I get it. She also makes sure to send me the lesson documents after class. After less than 20 days of learning with her, combined with my own practice, I can now speak continuously for 2-3 minutes on a given topic. She also taught me some highly effective learning methods, like how to internalize new language chunks into my own expressions. I am so grateful for Mrs. Smith's help. Thanks to her, learning English has actually become one of my hobbies now.

    I started having lessons with Abby before I began working in the U.S., and they've been super helpful. After talking about my goals and situation, she prepared customized lesson materials for me. We did about fifteen lessons using them and the they were exactly what I needed. She provided lesson notes in Google Docs so that I can review them later. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English, especially those who have specific needs or goals. I'm looking forward to our future lessons. Thanks Abby!

    Eja is an amazing teacher! I’ve had more than 10 lessons with her since July, and I can already see a huge difference in my English. I use English every day at work, and not only do I feel much more confident, but my coworkers have also noticed my progress! Her lessons are completely personalized, and she explains everything step by step with patience and without any judgment. She brings great supporting materials, gives constant feedback, and pays attention to even the smallest details, from pronunciation to making your sentences sound more natural. What I love most is that you can actually see your progress. You always know what you’re improving and what you still need to work on. She also has such a wonderful energy that makes you feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes. I spent a lot of time looking for the right English teacher before finding Eja, and I’m so glad I found her.Thank you, Eja, for being such an important part of my English journey!

    My daughter has been taking lessons with Naomi for the past two years, and she absolutely loves them. Naomi takes the time to understand her interests and incorporates them into the learning process, which makes every lesson engaging and enjoyable. She quickly identifies the areas where my daughter needs additional support and works on them patiently and consistently. At the same time, she encourages her strengths and helps her become more confident in speaking English. The lessons are well structured but never boring, and I can see clear progress in both my daughter’s language skills and confidence. Naomi is kind, attentive, professional, and genuinely cares about her students. We are very happy to have found her and would highly recommend her as an English teacher.

Frequently Asked Question

What is a CAE exam, and who is it for?

The CAE exam, or Certificate in Advanced English, is an advanced-level qualification designed to assess a candidate’s proficiency in English. It is one of the Cambridge English Qualifications. The CAE exam is suitable for individuals with a high level of English proficiency and who wish to demonstrate their ability to use English for academic and professional purposes.

What are the different sections of the CAE exam?

The CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) exam consists of five sections designed to assess different language skills. The reading section evaluates the candidate’s ability to understand various written texts, including fiction and non-fiction. It includes multiple-choice questions, matching exercises, and text completion tasks. The writing section tests the candidate’s ability to produce clear, well-structured written English. Tasks may include essays, reports, reviews, or proposals. It includes two tasks – one compulsory task and one choice between two tasks.
The ‘use of English’ section assesses the candidate’s ability to use English accurately and appropriately, with a focus on advanced grammar and vocabulary. Its format includes a range of tasks testing grammar and vocabulary. The listening section evaluates the candidate’s ability to understand spoken English in various contexts, including conversations, interviews, and lectures. It involves multiple-choice questions, matching, and note-completion tasks. The speaking section assesses the candidate’s ability to communicate effectively in spoken English. Tasks may include discussing a topic, giving a short presentation, and conversing. It includes a face-to-face interview with an examiner, usually in pairs or small groups.

What is the duration of the CAE exam?

The CAE exam duration varies, but it typically takes around 4 hours to complete all sections. The Speaking test is usually conducted separately. The Speaking test in the CAE exam is conducted in pairs or small groups and assesses the candidate’s ability to communicate effectively in various situations. It includes different tasks such as discussing a topic, a short presentation, etc.

How is the CAE exam scored?

Each section in the CAE exam is scored separately. The overall score is a weighted combination of the scores from the individual sections. The scoring scale ranges from A (highest) to C (lowest), and candidates who do not reach the C level receive a certificate for level B1 or B2. The CAE certificate doesn’t expire, and the candidates who do not pass the CAE exam can retake it. There is no limit to the number of times a candidate can retake the exam.

How important are test-taking strategies to excel in the CAE exam?

It is significant to familiarize yourself with the format of each section of the exam. Know the types of questions you will encounter in all five sections: Reading, Writing, Use of English, Listening, and Speaking. You must strengthen your overall English language skills, including grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and listening skills. Read various materials, including newspapers, magazines, academic articles, and fiction. This will enhance your reading skills and expose you to diverse vocabulary. Doing so will increase your probability of performing well during the exam.
