Topic-Based English Writing allows you to develop your writing skills (vocabulary, written expressions, transitions, and structure) in a live writing lesson with a variety of topics such as health, work, plans, and your city.
Job Interview Prep: Prepare for an interview by practicing your professional intro and your answers to the most common questions from hiring managers.
