Student Resume

The student resume is used for the student to track their learning progress. Student resume is just what it sounds like. It keeps record of the learning progress you care about like:

  • Your learning goals
  • Your language level
  • Learning evaluations on pronunciation, speaking and listening
  • Course progress
  • Lessons and Topic classes completed

Completion Progress

Everyone likes the satisfaction of completing something in full. In your resume you can see the number of lessons you have completed in the course versus the number of lessons that remain.

For example: Course B1 has 21 lessons. If you complete 4 of these lessons then your resume will show Course B1 4/21 Complete.

Course Progress

If you are using a package plan, our system will automatically track what lesson you have just completed so you can reference in your resume.

How is my progress tracked?

Language Level

Your language level is determined after the first trial class. The language levels correspond to our courses Beginner (B1 & B2), Intermediate (I1 & I2) and Advanced (A1 & A2). If you are a level I1 learner then it is recommended to start with the I1 course. The Language Level is updated after the completion of the Overview at the end of each Course.

For Example: If you are I1 and you complete the I1 Overview, then you would be updated to a Level I2.

How often is the student resume updated?

The student resume is updated every time:

  • A student takes a lesson in a course.
  • When credits, courses, or package are added.
Learning Evaluations

The learning evaluations are based on three metrics:

  • Pronunciation
  • Speaking
  • Listening

These metrics are updated after every Supplement. The Supplements come after every 4 to 6 lessons and serve as reviews for that section of lessons. This way you get a regular review of your learning metrics.
