For enrollment purposes and for fairness to all students, we do not prorate tuition. Allowing people to only pay for the classes they can attend would make it impossible to offer the classes at our low rates.

No, our classes progress at a relaxed pace and offer a significant amount of review and repetition. Many students have conflicts due to work, travel, and other commitments and have no problem keeping up with the class.

The progression of our courses can be somewhat confusing to new students as our courses run in 8-week sessions and numerous factors are considered when determining a course title.  For example, if you are enrolled in a Beginner 1 course this session, you will not necessarily progress to Beginner 2 in the next session.  Your class title may remain as Beginner 1 for multiple sessions; however, you will cover new material (vocabulary, grammar, etc.) in subsequent sessions. For more clarification on course sequence, please contact us.

The brief course descriptions and textbook outlines provide some guidance in determining your level; however, we encourage you to email us if you need additional information and assistance.  We're happy to set up time for a phone call to talk through your options.

We are using the Zoom platform to teach live classes at the times you'll see on our schedule.  These classes are not pre-recorded for later viewing by students.  There is a teacher giving instruction and interacting with the students during class time.

They are not.  If you miss a class, you'll need to connect with classmates or reach out to your instructor for missed topics and homework.

Credit card payments are processed through PayPal, however, you do NOT need to create a PayPal account; you may simply pay using a credit card. Once you have paid, PayPal will send a confirmation directly to the email you provided.

Approximately one day after your payment is received by Passport to Languages, we will send a confirmation of your registration to the email address you provided with your payment.  If you used a PayPal account to pay and that account has an outdated email address, it's likely you won't get the confirmation email or any subsequent emails about your class so please be sure the email address used is current.

If you are registering last minute, you may not receive your confirmation and your link prior to class.  We generally process registrations within 24 hours of receipt but can't guarantee that last minute registrations will be processed in time.

Unfortunately, none of our instructors currently have availability for tutoring.
