Iuliia Kumicheva - English teacher and trainer, materials designer and blogger
You:
Ok, so how do I book a speaking interview?
Iuliia:
Сurrently there are no slots available. I'm going to interview new students next week and if someone chooses not to enroll or doesn't meet the candidate requirements, I'm going to open new rounds of speaking interviews. I'll post all the updates to my blog.
You:
If I booked an interview, does it mean I'm in your group?
iuliia:
Unfortunately, just because we agreed on the time for the speaking interview, it doesn't mean that I can guarantee a spot in one of my groups.

I will get back to you once I conduct the interviews, and work out the final timetable. No matter my final decision, I'm going to send my feedback on your speaking and some practical tips.
You:
What do I need to know before booking an interview?
iuliia:
Please, book an interview only if you seriously plan on taking classes with me.

This interview is a quick way to get to know each other, test your level of English, a chance for you to ask any questions, and a chance for us to see if we could work together in a productive and beneficial way.

For C1 Advanced Exam Preparation course you need to complete a diagnostic test before the interview (I'll send it in the confirmation emaill ~ 90 min).

For C1-C2 General English course you need to submit a written personal statement explaining why you're applying to the course before the interview (I'll send the task in the confirmation email).
