Let’s find your starting point.

Professional English starts with a foundation.

Our courses require at least early pre-intermediate English and are not designed for absolute beginners. We focus on communication for your current work, including business, law, medicine and academic settings. General language schools can help you build the basics first. Individual courses may require a higher starting level.

Complete one free evaluation before your first course. Buying materials for self-study or use with your own teacher? Use the automatic evaluation for an indicative starting-level recommendation. It does not include personal feedback, speaking review or a conversation with Mr. Polushin. Enrolled HOE class students receive the fuller teacher-reviewed evaluation after their access is confirmed. At least early pre-intermediate English (A2) is required; some courses need a higher level. You do not repeat placement for every course.
