Frequently asked questions

The first session is a free, no-obligation get-to-know-you. We look at your current level and your goals, answer any questions you have and decide together how to continue, with no commitment at all.

Right away. Just pick a free slot in the calendar. We’ll sort out everything else in the intro session.

Use the “Book your first lesson” button. Choose a free time and you’ll get a confirmation by email.

Lessons take place online by video as standard. It’s flexible and works from wherever you are, anywhere in Vienna (or beyond). In-person lessons are possible by arrangement with Davit.

A lesson lasts 45 minutes.

For school students, university students and adults. All ages and all levels from A1 to C1, from your very first sentence to the Matura.

A1 to C1, from beginner to advanced.

With a targeted plan: first a short assessment of where you stand, then focused practice on exactly the topics that come up in your school test, exam or Matura, and finally some mock exams. That’s exactly how exam preparation works at The Green Pencil.

The earlier, the more relaxed, but what really counts is regular, targeted practice rather than sheer volume. In the intro session we’ll work out together what’s realistic before your exam date.

There are simple lesson packages at fair prices. The bigger the package, the cheaper each lesson. You’ll find the current prices in the “Prices” section on the home page.

No. The intro session comes with no obligation, and afterwards you can decide in your own time which package suits you.

Just talk to me. If, for example, you’re a single parent or under financial pressure, we’ll find a solution together. We can depart from the usual rate and take your situation into account. Education shouldn’t fail because of money.

You can cancel or reschedule free of charge up to 24 hours before your booked lesson. For later cancellations the lesson credit is forfeited, so that the slot can be offered fairly to others.
