That's exactly what the Trial Lesson is for β a low-cost way to get a feel for how Palesa teaches before committing to anything bigger. If it's not the right fit, you're not locked into anything further.
We start by getting to know your current level and your goals β whether that's business English, exam prep, travel, or general confidence. From there, I build your lessons around exactly what you need, rather than a one-size-fits-all script.
Yes β many students start with the self-study course or a group class and move into 1:1 lessons as they grow more confident.
Group classes are organized into small cohorts of 5 students, assigned by English level β a Beginner group (A1βA2) and an Intermediate group (B1βB2) β meeting weekly for 4 sessions. It's a great way to build confidence in a more social classroom setting before moving on to personal 1:1 lessons.
For the Trial Lesson, Group Classes, and 1:1 Packages (5-pack/10-pack), you'll have the option to renew at any time β there's no auto-charge, so you're always in control of when you continue. The Weekly Lessons Membership is the one exception: it renews automatically each month until you cancel, since it's designed as an ongoing, structured plan rather than a one-time purchase. You can cancel anytime before your next renewal.
Lessons are interactive and conversational, not rigid or textbook-heavy. I draw on a coaching background to create a comfortable, supportive space where mistakes are simply part of learning β not something to be afraid of.
Learning fluency in English requires consistency, so at least 5 β that's why each package is tailored to provide multiple classes to maximise your learning growth and opportunities.
How you sound affects how capable you seem β at work, in interviews, anywhere English is on the line.
Apps and textbooks take you far β a tutor pushes you past what practice alone can't.
Not a fixed program β lessons built around your specific goal, whatever that is.
Business meetings, exam rooms, and airport counters all ask something of your English β here's what confident, articulate answers actually sound like.
Learn at your own pace with 10 guided video lessons, worksheets, and quizzes β for those who may prefer to learn independently before committing to classes.
