TVO group classes
LEVEL-BASED GROUP COURSES
We run level-based group classes in Hanoi. Our course levels include Beginner - A1, Elementary - A2, Intermediate - B1, Upper Intermediate - B2 and Advanced - C1. Currently group classes are not available in other cities.
CLASS SETINGS
Group classes are held at our Hanoi office at No 1 Lane 123 Van Cao street, Ba Dinh district, Hanoi. The class size is 3-7 students. There are morning, afternoon, evening and weekend classes. In order to receive updated information about our upcoming group classes, you will need to sign up to be on our wait list. We will send new class announcements by email to our students in the waitlist.
Once you've joined a class, you should try to attend at least 85-90% of the lessons. Each student is entitled with maximum 3 make-up sessions for the lessons they miss during one course. These sessions are done online or sometimes before/after an actual lesson of the course (this could be discussed between the student and the teacher).
COURSE DURATION & FREQUENCY
One course is between 22.5 hours to 30 hours long including reviews and tests. One lesson is 1.5 hours. Courses are usually twice a week or once a week. It takes between 2 months and 5 months to finish one course depending on its frequency.
CURRICULUM
TVO use our own curriculum, course book and course materials in our group classes. Our curriculum has been developed by our academic team as well as our teachers based on 7 years of experience teaching Communication Vietnamese (since 2013). As students, you will be provided with a course book or course materials at the start of your course.
PRICING & PAYMENT
Payment should be made before the start of a group course and should be made in full amount. Please read the table below for details about the fees for each course.
