Default Re: advice needed on private lessons

Thank-you for your reply Tdol. The students studying English in Greece take all levels obviously from beginners to proficiency but when they take major exams they take Michigan (American) and Cambridge (British) exams e.g. Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) and occasionally London Edexcel exams. I taught in a school in Greece and they did all of these. And other levels like First certificate or lower as they call it, which is the level before proficiency. All students do English in Greece and as parents do not trust the state school system they all go to private English schools in the afternoons. They take exams regularly and it is definately something they do because it is believed to get them better job opportunities.
