One Month Curriculum

Objective: This option will give you time to fully explore where you need to improve.  We can take a deep look at what you need to do to improve in your language growth, and we'll have time to work one on one (or in groups) and see exactly how to improve.  

​

This is entirely a sample curriculum. Your personalized curriculum will resemble this, but be formed around your needs.
