All classes are tutorial-based sessions led by Filipino professionals living and working in New Zealand. Classes are formed based on demand and enrolments are accepted on a first come, first served basis. Each programme runs for 9 to 10 sessions per term, with class sizes of 5 to 10 students to ensure every learner receives personalised attention. A short diagnostic assessment is conducted at the start of each programme so our tutors can understand each student's needs.
