Our solutions for adults
Individual Lessons
One-to-one classes are the most required by our students. It was designed especially for those who have difficulty in adapting to the methodology of a regular course or group course (usually tied to a didactic plan that does not meet their needs or schedule).
Advantages of one-on-one lessons:
– The student has the full attention of the instructor. This means more opportunities for real and effective communication, more feedback, and better understanding of the instructor’s goals;
– The lesson plan can be readjusted at any time – as new needs arise on the side of the student;
– The learning rhythm is guided by the instructor: if he/she feels that the student has already consolidated some linguistic structure, he/she moves on to the next one; if there are still doubts about the content, it is reinforced;
– The student has total flexibility to choose the days and place of the classes, and to cancel even the day before in case something unexpected happens;
– The teacher acts as a consultant and advisor above all, centering the student in an active learning methodology.
The course can be taken as a package of pre-determined hours (usually for those who have a set deadline) or as a monthly fee (for those who wish continuous, medium- or long-term training). In both scenarios, classes are held according to the student’s schedule, and cancellations and rescheduling may occur.
A teacher is then selected according to the student’s profile and background with the foreign language, trained to develop all the desired language skills. We develop a lesson plan, monitored monthly by our team, as well as customized material – which provides a solid foundation for progressive language development.
It is also important to remember that the rotation between teachers is encouraged as each can offer different teaching and cultural experiences, which gives the student more tools to deal with everyday language situations. In this way, classes are held to maximum advantage.
The student will be able to use his or her package of hours according to his/her needs, so it is also possible to adjust for an intensive course (Immersion) at short notice, if a last-minute trip is required, for example.
Also considering flexibility and comfort for our students, there is the possibility of applying a hybrid teaching system (part online and part face-to-face), providing interactive materials aiming at the practicality of keeping the language acquisition independent from the place where the student is.
If you are also interested in forming larger groups (we recommend a maximum of six students per class), please consult us!
Immersion (Intensive) Program
It has been scientifically proven that the Immersion method increases the ability for absorption and maintenance of language knowledge. The student is exposed to an intense workload and a high level of concentration, making him/her much more receptive to the language being studied.
The student’s listening comprehension is refined as he/she begins to get used to the sonority of the language; its different linguistic structures and idiomatic expressions are easily incorporated into the lexicon. The “thinking” in the language studied naturally takes shape, bringing the student closer to the much-desired fluency and communicative confidence.
The Immersion Program is designed for those who wish to reach their goals in a short period of time, without the need to travel out of town to study the language or to be absent from work for long periods.
Also known as an intensive or specialization course in the language, Immersion breaks away from the traditional concept of learning a new language, where the student’s specific needs are addressed through the dynamism of the methodology currently applied: the Communicative Approach.
Classes are conducted dynamically, and on the student’s weaknesses in the language. We direct all the material covered in class to the student’s daily practice, whether for professional or personal life, in different scenarios.
Language Immersion Program Advantages:
– Classes lasting from 3 to 8 hours per day (either face-to-face, online or hybrid);
– Rotation of exclusively trained teachers for an intensive class dynamic – each one developing a specific language skill (vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, etc.);
– Possibility of Group Immersions, with coffee breaks and lunches with teacher interaction at our branch;
– Active learning methodology with constant correction and feedback from the instructor, whether in the online or one-to-one model.
Travel Preparation
Who has never found himself in an awkward or difficult situation, right in the middle of a vacation or work trip?
There are people who depend on a guidebook or a touristic guide to travel, not considering that the language is also part of the local culture. Despite the difficulty, it is possible to learn at any age.
Don’t worry: we have set up a training program for those who plan to travel, with specific vocabulary and typical scenarios that are likely to be experienced in the daily life of those visiting a new city, whether for living, work or tourism. Through simulations, we place the student in a real learning context, facilitating the immediate fixation and reuse of the content learned.
It is enriching when you visit a new country already knowing how to understand and speak the local language!

Certification Preparation
Nowadays, obtaining a language proficiency certificate opens doors to the country in which one wishes to study or work. However, these certifications require strong, disciplined preparation within the four language competencies. To pass with a good score, it is not enough just to know how to speak the language, but also to know the ‘tricks’ of the test and master the study techniques.
Auding offers a preparation program for proficiency certification in all languages, with specialized and highly qualified professionals, providing the best method for the development of competencies not only in writing, but also in speaking, reading, and listening – skills assessed in the proficiency tests.
For English, for example, the most traditional tests are the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), which involves English comprehension at the university level, and the TOEIC – responsible for the certification in business English. Worldwide, a wide variety of multinational companies, universities and government agencies recognize these certificates as proof of English fluency.
There is also the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), which are usually required by European universities or companies and cover both social and professional life.
For those interested only in the business area, we also prepare for the BEC (Cambridge Business English Certificate), in which only content focused on the professional area is required, whether in marketing, management or other business issues, and also for the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) that favors the administration audience.
The DELE (Diploma de Español como Lengua Extranjera) is offered as a certification of Spanish proficiency. This test is formulated in six levels of language fluency, ranging from basic to native, and has no validity.
In the case of French, we prepare the candidate for both the DELF (Diplome d’Études en Langue Française) and the DALF (Diploma Approfondi de Langue Française), the former being intended for travel and work, and the latter required for entry into higher education institutions in France or French-speaking countries.
There is also the TCF (Test de Connaissance du Français), which certifies the candidate, in a simpler way, to have oral and written knowledge of the language, whether for tourism or a professional career.
The most renowned German proficiency certificate is the Goethe-Zertifikat, a requirement for those wishing to study or obtain a work visa for Germany. It requires that the student has no problems dealing with everyday situations, as well as good writing and oral skills. The TestDaF (Test Deutsch als Fremdsprache), on the other hand, is specific for those aspiring to enter German universities.
If you are looking to gain Italian proficiency, we offer a variety of exam preparations, such as: CELI (Certificato di Conoscenza della Lingua Italiana), the CILS (Certificazione di Italiano come Lingua Straniera), as well as the IT (Certificato di Italiano come Lingua Straniera) and the PLIDA (Progetto Lingua Italiana Dante Alighieri). These certificates enable the candidate to study at Italian universities and to work in the country, with proven fluency.
We also offer preparation courses for foreigners who wish to obtain proficiency in the Portuguese language. The Celpe-Bras certificate was developed by the MEC (Ministry of Education) and is the necessary proof for those who need to work or seek access to higher education institutions in Brazil.
