How it Works

One-on-One Instruction

All tutoring is one-on-one with a native speaking tutor who is familiar with the needs of US Government linguists including DLPT prep, FSI testing, etc. You'll meet your tutor, complete an initial assessment, and receive online assignments adapted to your needs.


In a typical session, you will work on:

  • Analyzing complex texts (summarizing, inferring information and unknown vocabulary, identifying opinion, etc.)
  • Building comfort with listening-specific difficulty drivers (fast speech, reduced forms, background noise, accents, etc.)
  • Familiarizing yourself with events and topics relevant to US Government domains (politics, security, economy, etc.)

Self-Guided Tutoring Materials

Our tutoring maximizes your one-on-one time by letting you learn vocabulary on your own time before each session. You'll be assigned  online lessons in the CL-150 Platform that you can work on anytime from any internet-connected device. Then tutoring time is spent applying what you learn in context.

Course materials cover:

  • Government-focused themes including culture, politics, economy, technology, cyber, and military
  • Reading and listening comprehension questions based on authentic materials at desired ILR level
  • Domain specific vocabulary and grammar structures commonly encountered at the desired ILR level

Success Stories

"I would recommend this course 100%. I was very prepared for the speaking part of the test. All of the topics we had covered in class, so I felt very comfortable. The reading was difficult, but I am very satisfied with my scores. I needed ILR 2/2/2 and ended up with ILR 3/2/2+."

"My instructor made sure that we looked at a variety of different materials to make sure that I was exposed to various speeds and types of speech. I think the speaking practice especially helped me with my test. I was aiming for ILR 3/3/3. I scored 4/3+/3+."

"A wonderful language training opportunity! It was very good training and my instructor did a great job! I took my DLPT and got a 2+/2+. I really felt like I was getting close to that 3!"
