1-on-1 Personalized Training
What is the process and content of 1-on-1 training?
Our 1-on-1 training is highly personalized for professionals targeting BBB, CBB, or especially Niveau C oral excellence. We leverage your existing English knowledge first: starting with "Things in Common" (cognates, shared structures ~2 hours), then "Verb Tenses and Their Respective Use," quickly moving to conversational and test-specific application. Sessions are fast-paced, engaging, and enjoyable. Every session includes detailed notes (emailed after), plenty of homework, self-study materials, videos, and our exclusive professional apps to reinforce learning and save time/money.
What is the schedule like for 1-on-1 sessions?
Completely flexible and built around your career/life—no fixed weekly times. Sessions are virtual via secure Microsoft Teams, 1 hour each ($45/hour). Schedule 1–2 per week or whatever fits; change times easily, handle emergencies, take breaks—no penalties or fees (unlike many schools). Start anytime, stop anytime, pay-as-you-go.
How many hours can I expect to need overall?
Our targeted approach is much faster than traditional programs: Most reach BBB or CBB in 14–20 hours + consistent homework/self-study. For Niveau C oral (our specialty), students routinely achieve it in under 60 hours (vs. 300+ hours elsewhere). Some advance from solid B to C in as little as 22 hours by focusing precisely on SLE test criteria. Consistent self-study between sessions accelerates results dramatically.
How much self-study time is involved between sessions?
We provide plenty of homework and self-study resources with every session (exercises, apps, videos). We recommend 3–5 hours per week (flexible to your schedule), but even less can work if you're consistent. This self-study is what makes our program so efficient and cost-effective.
How do I sign up for 1-on-1 training?
Simple and no-obligation: Contact us for a free initial assessment and consultation (via form, email info@giftofthegab.ca, or call/text 343-300-3860). We'll evaluate your level, discuss goals, and book your first session. No contracts, no minimum hours—start whenever you're ready.
Are teachers bilingual, and what platform is used?
Yes—all teachers are fully bilingual in French and English for clear, fast explanations. Sessions use secure Microsoft Teams; post-session you get class notes by email and an invoice for that hour only.
Self-Paced Video Training ($350 – Lifetime Access)
What is included in the Self-Paced Video Training?
The exact same proven program as our 1-on-1 training, delivered in over 35 hours of high-quality videos + homework, exercises, and exclusive professional apps. It covers written comprehension/expression, oral prep, grammar, verb tenses, cognates ("Things in Common"), conversational skills—all tailored for professional SLE/FSL success (aiming for minimum BBB, often CBB). Includes strong results on written/grammar components and solid foundation for oral C.
What are the main benefits and how does it compare to 1-on-1?
Ultimate flexibility—no appointments, no travel, pause/rewind/replay anytime, learn at your own pace. Ideal for busy professionals. Most cost-effective option at $350 one-time (lifetime access + money-back guarantee if no BBB+). Many achieve strong written results independently; add a few 1-on-1 hours later for oral polish if needed. Same content, but self-directed.
What is the time commitment and "schedule" for self-paced?
No fixed schedule—complete it over weeks or months as fits your life (e.g., 3–10 hours/week). Lifetime access means you can go back anytime. Designed for self-motivated learners; many finish core content in 4–12 weeks while balancing work.
Is support available during the self-paced program?
Yes—guidance, clarifications, extra details, and free initial assessments are always free of charge. Contact us anytime via email, phone, or form—we respond quickly. Free oral test simulations and help available too.
