Classes for A2 English
Promova offers two tutoring programs for online A2 English lessons:What are the lessons like
At the beginning of your journey, your tutor will ask many questions to identify your strengths and areas to work on. Firstly, they will carefully listen to you and note any mistakes. Then your tutor will check this data against the checklists based on the CEFRs and get an idea of what you can do at your level.
This way, you’ll have a clear picture of what you already know, and your tutor will plan tasks that help you improve while maintaining your strengths. So, together you can work on the areas you need to master to progress from A2 English to B1 and beyond.
To summarise, your individual plan will be based on your current abilities compared to the CEFRs. The goal is to fill your gaps to increase your level.
Your plan will revolve around your needs and preferences. For example, let’s say you’re currently at A1 and need English to communicate with your customers by email. Then, your teacher will focus on improving your writing skills and making clear statements.
However, if you need English to speak to your friends and colleagues, you’ll get a lot of speaking practice from the start to ensure you get the most out of the experience.
In the end, all approaches will get you to A2 English and beyond at your pace and on your own terms.
To become fluent, you must have all-around mastery of skills and language systems. Your key skills are Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. Your key systems are Grammar, Vocabulary, Functional Language, Pronunciation, and Discourse. Some will come easy, and others will need your focus and energy.
For A2, your learning will focus on practical everyday situations. Promova teachers will tailor lessons to your daily life and give you real-world tasks. Expect to talk and write about your family, job, friends, movies you enjoy, and so on.
However, be prepared to work on elements that don’t come naturally to you because your progress needs to be balanced.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this course for?
Many new students are already near the level of Pre-intermediate English and just don’t know it yet. They have some basics and understanding but feel stuck at A1 and aren’t quite sure how to move forward. In this case, taking English lessons for Pre-intermediate will allow you to significantly improve your confidence in a relatively short time. After all, you just need to build on your elementary knowledge and develop language comprehension. In addition, you’ll get new perspectives on the foundations you already have, preparing you to bridge the gap between A2 and B1 in the future.
What is required for A2 English level?
The A2 level of English proficiency directly builds on elementary English and allows you to study for Intermediate programs. So, you must already understand simple English grammar and have some vocabulary related to your everyday life. In the English A2 course, you’ll learn to talk to others and master simple sentences and firmly understand your basics. In addition, you’ll sharpen your writing about familiar topics and be able to comprehend English by ear, provided it’s spoken in a familiar accent and at a slower pace.
How can students learn English for pre-intermediate level?
Pre-intermediate is your stepping stone from which you transition from foundations to expand your knowledge. So, to reach pre-intermediate, you must practice reading simple short texts and understanding factual information. Furthermore, you have to communicate with your A2 English tutor and be able to express simple opinions and navigate common everyday situations. Communication is vital because it will increase your confidence and help you venture beyond familiar territory. This process is much easier with a certified tutor who knows how you learn and can help you do it better.
What is the difference between IB English A1 and A2?
IB English refers to International Baccalaureate programmes, while A1/A2 refers to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The difference is in the origin and assessment, with IB English being more academic and focused on specialised subjects. Students of the British system should usually choose 4 disciplines (3 compulsory + 1 optional), which they will focus on for the final exams, and decide in advance whether they will be exact sciences or humanities.
On the other hand, CEFRs simply refer to your English proficiency and correspond to a wide variety of tests and purposes. As a result, you’re more likely to encounter this framework when applying for international jobs or handling immigration and daily life.
How improve English from pre-intermediate to intermediate?
Taking a Promova English course is a powerful way to improve your level. The process typically takes 100-120 hours of guided practice; however, motivated students immersed in the language can do it faster. You can learn with a tutor from your smartphone, computer, or tablet. Whether you prefer entertaining micro-lessons or deep dives, we can adapt to your needs and provide you with an individual plan to go from pre-intermediate to intermediate.
In addition, you can increase your fluency by entering an English-speaking environment. You don’t have to change countries for it - start watching your favorite TV shows and reading books in English. The crucial difference between levels is in their vocabulary and topic mastery - you can give yourself a head start if you already know a lot of subjects from exposure. Furthermore, communicate with people internationally to improve your speaking confidence and practical skills.
