Can I still have EPiC sessions when I am traveling?
EPiC Online's program is convenient for individuals who travel frequently for work and want to improve their English language skills. One-on-one coaching sessions can be scheduled at your most convenient time.

COACHING SESSION
How long is a session?
An EPiC session lasts for 50 minutes.
Can I have a 25-minute session instead?
Each EPiC session is designed for 50 minutes to give the student sufficient time to develop fluency in the language.
How many sessions do I need to take?
We recommend 30 sessions. However, the number of sessions needed may vary depending on the learner's proficiency level and goal to learn. Learners assessed at Lower Intermediate or lower levels are recommended to take 30 sessions, while those assessed at Intermediate level and above are recommended to take 20 sessions.
How long does it take to finish all of my sessions?
At least 3 months for 30 sessions. You are advised to have 2-3 EPiC sessions per week to achieve consistency and flow in your sessions.
Why do you use the word coach instead of tutor or teacher?
EPiC Online focuses on building confidence and improving conversational English, rather than just teaching technical aspects of the language. Our coaches are selected and trained to help you express your thoughts as well as understand and be understood in daily conversation so that you can achieve your goal of proficiency.
Why do you assign different coaches for each session?
You will have different coaches for each session to boost your speaking skills and confidence by practicing with people who have different speaking styles and pronunciations. This mimics the "total immersion" method for language learning.
Can I just be assigned to one coach for all of my sessions?
No. You may get different coaches every time you have your session. This is so that you can get the experience of speaking to different people and learning from them.
Can I have a native English-speaking coach for my session?
Yes. Please inform the Monitoring Team that you wish to have only native-speaker coaches.
How can I book a session?
To book an EPiC session, you can use our eScheduler platform. This platform allows you to choose a session time that works for you and make any necessary changes according to your schedule. Simply log in to your EPiC Online account and access the eScheduler to book your session.
Can I cancel a session if I am not able to attend?
You can cancel your session at least three (3) hours before the scheduled time. Late cancellation will result in the loss of your session credit.
