How do online English lessons work at Robinsguide?

Our online English lessons combine live video sessions with self-paced learning materials. After enrollment, you'll gain access to our learning platform where you can:

  • Schedule live one-on-one or small group sessions with certified teachers

All you need is a reliable internet connection, a computer or tablet with a camera and microphone, and a quiet space to take your lessons.

What levels of English proficiency do you cater to?

We offer programs for all proficiency levels, from complete beginners (A1) to advanced speakers (C2). During registration, you'll complete a comprehensive assessment to determine your current level and be placed in the appropriate program. Our courses follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standards, ensuring internationally recognized progression.

What is the duration of your courses and how flexible is the scheduling?

Our standard courses run for 12 weeks, but we offer flexible options ranging from 4-week intensive programs to 6-month comprehensive courses. Scheduling is highly adaptable:

  • Live sessions can be booked according to your availability
  • Self-paced materials are accessible 24/7
  • You can pause your subscription for up to 30 days if needed
  • Minimum recommended study time is 3-5 hours per week

We understand that our students have busy lives, so we've designed our programs to accommodate various schedules and learning paces.

What payment options do you accept and are there any refunds?

We accept all major credit cards, PayPal, and bank transfers. Payment can be made monthly or for the full course duration with a discount for full payments. We offer a 7-day money-back guarantee for new students who find our programs aren't the right fit. After this period, refunds are prorated based on completed lessons for subscription cancellations.
