English as a Second Language

The following are some useful tips if you are preparing for a Studio Pilates course and English is your second language –

  • You will be required to have a minimum IELTS level of 8
  • Ensure that you book your face to face course date well in advance so that you have plenty of time to take your study slow and at your own pace
  • Spend a majority of your study time listening to the cues used to instruct the exercises – you can do this by watching the sample class programs many times over (if your course has these) and the individual exercise videos
  • Practise reading the exercise cues out loud from the manual as many times as possible so that the words flow as you speak them
  • If you feel overwhelmed with your study at any point, we are here to help you prepare every step of the way –
    • You can call us on +61422023222 or 0422 023 222 to talk directly to our instructor support team
    • You can request additional one on one tutorials with a course facilitator at the rate of AUD$120 per hour
  • Sometimes students with English as a second language understand the exercises well but have difficulty in verbalising the exercise cues out loud when instructing – if you do not pass the practical assessment and require further practise, you can utilise a video submission option.
