Common questions
How many students are in a class?
Group courses cap at 10, and Roadmap students can take seats 11 to 15. Session length scales with enrollment: 10 hours for one student, 15 for two to three, and 20 for four or more, all on a fixed schedule.
Are classes online or in person?
Both, and you choose the one that fits you. Some sections meet in person in Falls Church, VA, and others meet live online over Zoom. Each section is a single format, so you simply pick the time and setting that work best for your life.
What if I miss a class?
It happens to almost everyone, and it is no reason to hold off. There will never be a perfectly open semester, so do not wait for one. You will have all of your course materials to stay on track between sessions, and you can book a private tutoring lesson to review anything you missed one-on-one with your instructor.
Do I need the Level Placement Test?
New students start at A2 after testing into the A2 level on the free Level Placement Test. Current students reach A2 by completing True Beginners and Advanced Beginners and passing the A1 Level Exit Exam, which opens access to the A2 level.
What is your refund policy?
Withdraw at least 7 days before the start date for a full course credit, valid 365 days. We do not offer cash refunds for withdrawals. If WLS cancels a course, you receive an alternative or a full refund.
