QUALITY: WHO’S THE JUDGE?

Numbers don’t lie

When looking for a language course, the websites’ great designs and the long-term reputations of the schools will have very little influence on what will really happen in the class. Courses are taught by teachers not by nice ads and big walls.

When signing up for a program with Hackcent, this is the kind of teacher you’re getting:

2
Master's degrees
3
Continents
43
Nationalities
21000
Hours

Beyond numbers

But numbers will never be enough. All teaching credentials and experience don’t answer the most important questions. Which is:

What’s the surest way to know you can trust someone?

Not the fake ones that companies put on their websites… the real ones!

J'ai eu la chance de croiser le chemin et d'être coaché par Cecilia pour mes interventions en anglais et pour améliorer mon niveau de langue. Son expertise est indéniable, et son dynamisme est absolument contagieux. Une heure passée avec elle équivaut à 10 heures de travail intensif. Grâce à ses conseils et son approche personnalisée, j'ai pu faire des progrès significatifs en un temps record. Je recommande vivement Cecilia à toute personne souhaitant améliorer son anglais ou se préparer à des présentations publiques. Son coaching est véritablement un accélérateur de compétences, un vrai level-up !

Cecilia has a unique way of immersive language learning. She guided me through the complicated French grammar and verbs. She cultivated a free learning environment where it was okay to make mistakes. I made a lot of them but still felt assured. I was able to express myself and function in my specific business in a space of three months!

We, at company Nexell GmbH, had the pleasure to assist on a presentation skills training, delivered by Cecilia during 2 days. The course was well structured, fun, sometimes difficult, but especially extremely useful. Besides the presentation aspects, we also received hints and improvement instructions for our English skills and pronunciation. Cecilia is very competent and has many techniques to motivate people. I am sure that our ways will cross again! 🙂

Dear Cecilia, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the public speaking training/coaching you provided me. Your guidance and expertise helped me tremendously in improving my presentation skills and confidence. Your approach was both practical and effective, and I appreciated the way you tailored our sessions to my specific needs and goals. You were always supportive and encouraging, while also challenging me to push myself beyond my comfort zone. What I found particularly valuable was your emphasis on developing a clear and compelling message, and your tips for delivering it in a way that engages and connects with the audience. I also appreciated your advice on handling nerves and managing my body language. Thank you again for your outstanding work as a public speaking coach. I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking to improve their presentation skills.

Dear Cecilia, I learned a lot about how to create and build up a presentation as well how to present it & myself in the best way. Your tips and techniques were always motivating, helpful but also humorous. Also, your suggestions regarding the choice of words were very helpful, especially since English is not my native language. All in all, I can only warmly recommend such a trainig with Cecilia. Afterwards, you will feel confident and well prepared for a public appearance!

I contacted Cecilia for her accent reduction program. Cecilia possesses an excellent ability to replicate a wide array of accents with precision, enabling students to discern subtle phonetic distinctions. This skill helped me foster a deeper understanding of the nuances. Her engaging sense of humour creates a vibrant and supportive learning environment, making each session both enjoyable and enlightening. Her approach is meticulously structured, offering a healthy dose of exercises each week that are thoughtfully designed to scale in difficulty. There is no easy promise; you'll have to work hard. She is demanding yet very patient and didactic. With practice, you'll definitely improve. I've done it in the past, and I continue to wholeheartedly endorse Cecilia for anyone committed to mastering the intricacies of English pronunciation.

Le Speakathon : un cours original et hors du commun, animé par une maîtresse de cérémonie dynamique, digne d'une scène de théâtre londonienne. C'est une façon ludique et innovante d'apprendre l'anglais dans une ambiance décontractée, autour d'un verre et d'un apéro, avec des personnes très chaleureuses et un lieu chaleureux au milieu de Genève. Plus qu'un simple cours, c'est un moment agréable que je recommande à tous, dépaysement assuré. Just do it, vous ne serez pas déçu(e) ! J'y reviendrai sans hésiter.😉

You are the judge

Hackcent has chosen the simplest and probably most efficient solution to preserve ut the high quality of its programs: 

Direct Feedback

Direct feedback allows us to adapt to the students’ changing needs and keep their motivation high. therefore Hackcent collects feedbacks at the end of each session.

Moreover reflecting on your learning is actually a great pedagogical toll of the experiential learning method. So it’s a win-win!
