English Hub Level System

English Hub uses a 6-level system for its online English conversation classes that places students in a comfortable level based on their ability, which allows them to learn English easily and get the most benefit from every lesson.

The levels are designed to help the student improve their English conversation in a logical step-by-step process focusing on conversation practice.

After registering with English Hub, students will be given a level from a free level test either during the first lesson or at another time arranged by the teacher and student. The level test will be done on Skype and consist of oral questions increasing in difficulty, and are based on the necessary English skills needed to communicate effectively.

Note: A level test is required for the English Conversation and Open Discussion courses (minimum level three needed for the open discussion class), but a level test is not required for the Travel English and Interview Preparation courses.

Listed below are the requirements for each level in the English Hub level system. Please refer to this chart to understand your assigned level after the level test. If you have any questions about your level, please ask your teacher or contact us.
