Student Progress

Here is where you will be able to learn what to do during your child's progress at GSA, including how to continue lessons and courses, level changes, what to do when a level is easy, and more.






Q. Can my child take lessons if my child has never studied English?

A. Our GSA service was made to help young learners who have never studied English before to get started with GSA. Our courses including ELA Standard, Phonics Bootcamp, and Speaking and Listening Bootcamp are all designed to start building core English skills for your child.


Q. Can I request a level change?

A. If you feel that your child's current level is too easy or hard, you are welcome to contact our Student Relations team to request a level change.


Q. Can we go move up to Advanced after completing whole materials in English Foundations?

A. Yes, students can move onto ELA Advanced after completing English Foundations. After your child finishes the last class of English Foundations, your child will then be assigned a screening class for ELA Advanced. A screening class is required as it will determine where in ELA Advanced that your child can begin.


Q. Can I have my child try both ELA Advanced and English Foundations?

A. It is recommended that a child stays to one of the courses, so we recommend them to go through ELA Advanced screening if you are not sure which courses to start with. For reference, if you are a beginner of English, you will be placed in English Foundations. If you have some experience with English, or if you have lived in English speaking country, we recommend being screened for ELA Advanced.


Q. How do I move on to the next unit?

A. If you think a Unit is too easy for your child, you are welcome to contact Student Relations team and request to move onto the next Unit.


Q. Can I skip lessons that my child already knows?

A. If you think a class is too easy for your child, please contact our Student Relations team to request moving to further lessons.


Q. How is my child's level decided?

A. At GSA, we determine your child's level by conducting a screening class, where our GSA teacher will evaluate your child's core skill levels. Once that information is processed, then we determine your child's level.


Q. What is a screening class?

A. A screening class is conducted to determine a student's overall English level by testing the student's core skills. Screening class will not alter your child's level immediately, but it will provide more detail about your child's English progress.
