Reviews

Tetyana Mulyavka

I can only say the best about this educational institution, where teachers try to convey knowledge of the German language as easily as possible for us, the students. Personally, I am very grateful to you for the impetus to learn German that you gave me. Also, thanks to your lessons, I lost my fear of speaking German. Thank you very much, dear teachers!

Diana Yanovska

I am very satisfied with my studies at this English school! The atmosphere is pleasant and cozy, the premises are modern and comfortable — studying here is a pleasure. Special thanks to the teacher: she explains clearly, interestingly, and accessibly. I recommend it to everyone ☺️

Svitlana Povkh

My son has been studying at this school online for three months, and I am very pleased with the results. The lessons are fun and interesting. It took a long time to find the right teacher, but my son really enjoys studying with Sofia. His grades at school have also improved. I recommend this school to other parents. Thank you for being there.

Kostiantyn Pashkovskyi

I had an extremely positive experience learning English on this course! The teachers demonstrate a high level of professionalism, explain the material in an accessible way, and create a comfortable atmosphere for learning. The course program is structured and covers all aspects of the language — from grammar to conversational practice — which allows you to progress quickly. I especially liked the interactivity of the classes and the individual approach to each student. Thanks to the course, I have significantly improved my English communication skills and feel confident in real-life situations. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn English effectively!

Liubomyr Kasianchuk

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to study at AP Courses. From the very beginning, it has been an incredible experience. The entire team is not only professional in their field, but also extremely kind, sincere, and open people. Every class is inspiring, easy, and positive. You can feel that the teachers really care about our progress and are always ready to help. Studying here is not a chore, but a real pleasure. The atmosphere motivates, inspires, and gives you confidence in yourself. Thank you to everyone on the AP Courses team — you guys are awesome!

Valeriia Dzhalilova

I am studying on this platform in the English language course at levels B1-C1. The platform is really great 😁 I like the organization of the lessons, the time allocation, the presentation of topics, and the assignments for each topic. Most importantly, the teachers always give their all and have an individual approach to each student 💓 It is also very suitable for those who find it difficult to manage their time and have a mixed work schedule, as classes are held twice a day and the class materials are always stored on the platform. It’s great that there are often speaking clubs where you discuss various topics in small groups and your pronunciation and grammar are analyzed right away ☺️

Nelli Furtados

German is a very difficult language, especially when starting from scratch. There are many different apps, teachers, and lots of other information available online, but with AP Courses, it’s so easy that I don’t regret my choice.

Yuliia Demkiv

AP Courses is a team of specialists in teaching and organizing the learning process who take personal circumstances into account and help students achieve progressive results. A friendly atmosphere, small groups, and a completed course. Personal thanks to the teachers for gradually building confidence and freedom in conducting discussions.

Victoria Palivoda

I have been studying at this school for a little over a month and I love it. The large number of practice exercises, lectures, and answers to questions help me understand and remember new words and grammar, while speaking and audio exercises allow me to practice and reinforce what I have learned. I had many “gaps” in my grammar, but thanks to the lessons, I am beginning to understand and answer questions with more confidence. I enjoy studying with you!!! Thank you!!!)

Solomiya Mykhailiv

💚I have been studying the From Zero to Hero course for almost a year now. I really like it. The training takes place on a modern interactive platform. Every week, we have two 60-minute theory lessons and one to three 90-minute practical lessons. After each practical lesson, the teachers write detailed feedback on each student’s work, pointing out their strengths and weaknesses and giving recommendations for further study. In addition to the theoretical lessons, we have more than 100 lessons based on well-known cartoons, films, and TV series. The educational center also gives each student a laptop for studying. I recommend this center to anyone who wants to learn a foreign language from 0 to C1.💚

Elena Kulykova

I gave myself one last chance to speak English and chose AP Education to help me achieve this goal.  The main advantages in my choice were the affordability of the course and the number of conversation classes, because the most difficult thing for me is to start speaking.

I am satisfied with the course so far, because the structure of the lessons is well-balanced and meaningful, and the teachers are real professionals. Two theory classes (vocabulary, grammar) and three conversation practice sessions per week completely immerse me in learning the language.

The meetings are meaningful and interactive, which also contributes to better memorization and assimilation of the material. In a month, I have become so accustomed to almost daily English that I even miss it on weekends when there are no classes. Special thanks for the quality service. If any questions arise, the manager assigned to each student and accompanying them in their studies provides timely answers and clarifications.

Thank you to the AP Courses team.

Tanya Plenus

Thank you for the informative lessons🙌 and good company during the lessons. I recommend Maria as a very attentive and patient teacher, her qualifications are as high as her desire to share her knowledge with students. During our lessons, we were able to develop our speaking, reading, and writing skills. We also had the opportunity to expand our vocabulary on various topics. Maria made our lessons interesting and effective: we were not only able to discuss and share our opinions, but also improve our grammar knowledge. Thank you for a pleasant and unforgettable time. Good luck💙💛

Kateryna Ivanyshyna

Hello! 😉 I started studying at this school in 2020. At first, I began preparing for the EIT (which I passed successfully), then I started studying just for myself. I am very grateful to everyone who took part in my education, because now I am in an English-speaking environment 24/7 and do not feel uncomfortable. Yes, there are many new words, and sometimes it can be difficult. But I don’t lose my mind when someone asks me a question or when I have to fill out documents, etc. I am grateful to my teacher, Victoria. My studies began and ended with her.

I have very fond memories of the classes, and it was really nice to communicate with her as a person. The most important thing for me was her ability to explain something 250 times if necessary and get the message across. That means you don’t feel uncomfortable when you don’t understand something. Therefore, I highly recommend her.

I wanted to write a review a long time ago, but my diplomas, work, etc. kept me busy. Every time I communicate, I remember my teacher Victoria and AP Courses.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Olena Derevyanko

I recently completed a course at this school and I wanted to provide some feedback. Firstly, I was very impressed with the quality of teaching and the dedication of my teacher, Alla Kryviak. She made the lessons both fun and educational, and I definitely recommend this school to others.

Lena Biloshytska

My husband and I are celebrating a small victory today as we are finishing the Elementary course and plan to continue our studies. Studying at this school is a pleasure because the curriculum includes grammar, listening, practice, and conversation. Special thanks to our teacher Victoria for her patience and clear explanations. We recommend this school. As my husband says, the best investment is in knowledge.

Anna Krasnyuk

I needed to prepare for the KET test, and teacher Kateryna Antonenko was a great help! Everything is accessible, clear, and covers the necessary topics and important information, and most importantly, everything is easy and fun. It’s very convenient that there is a language proficiency assessment and step-by-step learning of the material. It’s also great that you can choose a convenient time for your classes. Many thanks to the teacher, Katya, who is pleasant and easy to communicate with, pays attention to small successes, and gives additional exercises for review and correction of mistakes. Working with such a teacher is a pleasure! I sincerely recommend her!❤️🫶🏻

Dima Stetsyuk

Good afternoon! I needed to take the KET exam. I decided to seek help from a tutor, namely Kateryna Antonenko. She is a wonderful person and a true master of her craft. In just a few lessons, she prepared me for the exam, for which I am very grateful. I highly recommend her!

Vanya Chaban

Good afternoon, I studied English with teacher Yulia. I was incredibly satisfied with the English lessons. Very fun lessons. English is very difficult for me, but the teacher found an approach and together we prepared me to pass the KET test. By the way, I passed 😀 I am sincerely grateful)) I recommend it 👍👍👍

Frequently asked questions about preparing for English exams

What English exams do you help students prepare for?

AP Courses help students prepare for international exams: IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, Cambridge ESOL, and Cambridge English Exams: KET, PET, FCE, CAE. These exams help students gain admission to educational institutions abroad. They are also necessary for employment, professional development, skills improvement, obtaining citizenship, etc.

How long does it take to prepare for an English exam?

It depends on the student’s current level of knowledge and the desired result (for example, IELTS 6.5 requires less time than 8.0). It also depends on the complexity and structure of the test. If a student has a current level of A0-A1 and needs to reach C1, comprehensive quality preparation will take approximately 1 year. A target score of 7.0+ on IELTS or 100+ on TOEFL usually requires 1–6 months of active study, depending on the student’s previous level of knowledge.

Is the course suitable for any level of knowledge?

Yes, our courses are adapted to different levels. However, before the main program begins, students will be helped to determine their current level of knowledge. If you have A1–A2, you first need to brush up on basic grammar and vocabulary, and then move on directly to the topics that will be on the exam. If you have B1–B2, teachers start immediately with these topics, conduct test assignments, and organize test simulations.
If the student’s current level is C1–C2, the preparation will focus more on improving skills and reviewing specific points. It will also focus on conversational practice.

How are exam preparation classes conducted?

These classes take several forms. The first is the review of one or more topics from the exam, which is usually given to a group of students with the same level of knowledge. Here, the teacher explains the material in detail and gives examples from previous years’ tests. The second form is an exam simulation, i.e., a practical group lesson during which students use their notes and all available hints, including help from the teacher. The third form involves individual lessons. In such lessons, the teacher provides a detailed analysis of specific points requested by the student that arose during the main sessions or in independent work.

Is it possible to prepare for the exam online?

The remote format of preparation is relevant and popular today. AP Courses specializes in preparing for international English exams, specifically in an online format. Our experience has revealed the advantages of this method. Teaching methods based on the Close to You principles allow you to create the effect of the teacher’s physical presence, so the difference from traditional tutoring is not significant. Advantages of the online format: during mock tests, it is easier for students to concentrate, and interactive elements make the training more interesting (games and competitions on the platform), and you can also review the recording of the lesson.

Who teaches the exam preparation courses?

Teachers who prepare students for international exams have also undergone such training several times in the past. This experience is useful because they pay attention to the psychological preparation of the student, which is just as important as knowledge of the English language.

Do you conduct mock tests during the course?

One of the forms of training on the preparation course is exam simulation. There are two types: with the use of hints in the materials and the help of the teacher, and a full test according to the rules of the exam itself. They are rarely held for general control. Here, it is significant to pay attention not only to the educational part but also to your psychological state, to train your attentiveness and composure, to try to stay motivated and calm when you cannot remember the rules, and to learn to work under stress.

How do I know that I am ready to take the exam?

One of the forms of training on the preparation course is exam simulation. There are two types: with the use of hints in the materials and the help of the teacher, and a full test according to the rules of the exam itself. They are rarely held for general control. Here, it is significant to pay attention not only to the educational part but also to your psychological state, to train your attentiveness and composure, to try to stay motivated and calm when you cannot remember the rules, and to learn to work under stress.

Do you issue a certificate after completing the course?

At the end of the course, students take an internal exam similar to the one they are preparing for. After passing the exam, they receive a certificate with their scores, confirming that they have completed the training course and achieved the specified level of English according to the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) system.

How does your training differ from regular English courses?

The course for preparing for international English exams has a special format. It differs significantly from other types of courses. Its main feature is its focus on the structure and content of the exam. Preparation involves systematic review, repetition, and reproduction of exam components, while other courses modify their already diverse programs, i.e., one course is one comprehensive program with a clear set of topics assigned to specific terms.
