Intellect Word! is a proprietary linguistic development program based on the principles of the SuperMemo+ space repetition model, in symbiosis with the works of Tony Buzan and Pimsleur, developed and built in Fibonacci's golden section. The research, production and implementation of the Intellect Word! project is the result of many years of work by the RND department of Intellect Schools.
We will memorize and track your knowledge, allowing the words in your memory to be retold at the right moment.
In our practice of over 23+ years, we have found that there are two types of people: those who learn from the language they know better and those who learn from the language that is new to them.

The most useful for me were the presentations and additional materials made by my teacher. The only tutor I have ever had who really took my individual needs into consideration and didn't teach in a cookie cutter way.
I would like to express my immense gratitude to my tutor, thank you for your professional attitude, patience and calmness. I was very comfortable throughout, I felt no anxiety and things happened with ease. I am also grateful for the invaluable advice and support and I would like to say that the training was very useful for me. I would recommend Intellect to anyone interested in language training. Thank you once again.
The most useful thing was that we communicated mainly in English, we had the opportunity to listen and practice speaking.
I find the practical orientation very helpful, as well as all the supplementary materials the teacher provides.
