Exploring the Future
How do you talk about what will happen, what might happen, and what could have been? This B1 course tackles the future and conditional tenses, including the future of probability, a structure English does not have and most learners never formally learned.
One of the four courses in your B1 Roadmap to Fluency.

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 take the free Level Placement Test so they start at exactly the right level, and Exploring the Future sits at B1. If you are already studying with us, you reach B1 by completing the earlier levels and passing the A2 Level Exit Exam. Either way, you arrive ready to build on what you know rather than repeat it.
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.

Join a Conversation ClubI cannot say enough good things about Mindy. She has a talent for teaching. She was professional, warm, dynamic, encouraging, engaging and brought energy to every class. I signed up during a stressful time and it always required making a real effort to fit this class in, but Mindy and her instruction made it worth it.Asrah Mohammed · Exploring the Future
