Speaking is the most commonly used skill to communicate, which is why I use a speaking-based method, instead of memorizing vocabulary lists and grammar rules. Classes start with pronunciation exercises, on to vocabulary in meaningful contexts, some controlled practice for grammar and finally skills: reading, debate, discussion, etc.
From Mondays to Fridays, from 9AM to 9PM. Satuday morning from 9AM to 2PM.
I use my own platform, Oxinity platform, which works with technology and provides a system for accelerated learning.
