CAE student Jorge says…
“Contacting Amy for preparing for CAE was the best decision I could have ever made. The classes with her were practical, immersive and last but not least, funny. In all the classes I had with her, I always had the feeling of chatting with a friend while enjoying a coffee rather than being in an actual class. She provides not only her high educational and social skills, but plenty of didactic material to help you achieve your goals. 100% recommendable!” 🔥⭐️

Online Or Face to Face?
The difference between online and face-to-face Cambridge English exams lies primarily in the mode of delivery and administration, as well as certain logistical aspects. Here's a breakdown of the key distinctions:
🧡 Mode of Delivery
👥 Face-to-Face Exams: In face-to-face exams, candidates typically sit for the test in a physical examination center, supervised by trained invigilators. They use pen and paper to complete tasks such as writing essays, filling in answer sheets, and speaking with examiners during oral components.
💻 Online Exams: Online exams are conducted remotely via a computer or laptop with internet access. Candidates interact with the exam content through a digital interface, which may include typing answers, selecting options, and recording spoken responses. Online exams often employ specialized software for exam security and proctoring.
💛 Flexibility
👥 Face-to-Face Exams: These exams usually follow a fixed schedule and require candidates to travel to the designated examination centre at a specific date and time.
💻 Online Exams: Online exams offer more flexibility in terms of scheduling. Candidates can often choose from multiple test dates and times, and they have the convenience of taking the exam from any location with suitable internet connectivity.
💜 Technical Requirements
👥 Face-to-Face Exams: Candidates do not require specific technical equipment or proficiency beyond basic writing and speaking skills.
💻 Online Exams: Candidates need access to a reliable computer or laptop with a stable internet connection. They may also need to familiarize themselves with the exam interface and any technical requirements beforehand.
💙 Environmental Factors
👥 Face-to-Face Exams: Candidates take the exam in a controlled environment provided by the examination centre, which may include factors such as ambient noise, seating arrangements, and room temperature.
💻 Online Exams: Candidates have more control over their testing environment but must ensure they have a quiet, distraction-free space conducive to concentration.

Know your English level!
🟣 Targeted Preparation: Understanding your current proficiency level allows me to tailor your preparation accordingly. If you're already proficient, you can focus on refining specific skills and strategies for higher-level exams. Conversely, if you're at a lower level, you can concentrate on building foundational skills to meet the exam requirements.
🟢 Setting Realistic Goals: Assessing your current level helps you set realistic goals for exam preparation. It allows you to gauge how much time and effort you need to invest to reach your desired level of proficiency before the exam date.
🔵 Choosing the Right Exam: Cambridge English offers exams at various proficiency levels, ranging from A1 for beginners to C2 for advanced learners. Knowing your current level helps you select the most appropriate exam that aligns with your abilities and goals.
🟡 Optimising Study Resources: Once you know your English level, you can choose study materials and resources that match your proficiency level. This ensures that you're not overwhelmed by materials that are too advanced or bored by materials that are too basic, optimizing your learning experience.
🔴 Improving Confidence: Understanding your strengths and weaknesses in English can boost your confidence as you prepare for the exam. It allows you to approach the preparation process with a clear understanding of what you need to work on, increasing your chances of success.
