Being placed at the wrong level slows progress and creates gaps.

At École Napoléon, learners are placed according to real linguistic ability, not estimates or self-evaluation. This ensures coherent progression and durable learning.

The choice depends on your level, objectives, and learning profile.

• Group classes are very good, but progress is generally slower than in private lessons.
• Private or semi-private lessons are more effective for learners who wish to progress more quickly, receive more individual attention, and achieve stronger results.

Private and group classes are suitable for all levels. The difference lies mainly in the speed of learning and the degree of teacher attention. Guiding one learner is not the same as guiding a group of nine students.
