Close-Up B1
Close-Up B1 is an online English course for children and teenagers that builds on their language knowledge through interesting real-world topics. The system includes adapted articles and materials inspired by National Geographic, which let students practise the grammar and vocabulary they have learned while discovering more about people, nature, technology and the world around them.
The online lessons combine clear explanations from the teacher, interactive exercises, speaking practice, and work with texts, audio materials and videos. Students discuss different topics, express opinions, argue a position and gradually develop more confident and mature communication in English.
After completing Close-Up B1, students will be able to:
- read and understand adapted texts of around 600 words;
- work with a richer vocabulary and use words in the right context;
- use simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous tenses more confidently;
- recognise and use zero, first, second and third conditional sentences;
- use modal and semi-modal verbs in speech and writing;
- speak more freely on topics such as relationships, extreme situations, ecology, technology, society and everyday life;
- take part in discussions, share opinions and give arguments to support their position;
- write emails, articles, stories, essays, and formal and informal letters, taking into account the purpose, genre and appropriate tenses;
- listen to and extract the essential information from longer audio texts and conversations;
- understand the content and main ideas of educational films and answer questions about them.

Learning through real topics
The system develops not only language skills but also students' general knowledge, critical thinking and curiosity. The topics in the course give children the chance to look beyond the coursebook, discuss important issues and use English as a means of communicating and getting to know the world.
Close-Up B1 is a good choice for students who want to build on their knowledge and use English more confidently at school, as well as in everyday and more formal situations.

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.

Our customers are our mirror. It is extremely important for us to receive sincere feedback about training with us.
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 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.
Hello, The course is really useful and well organized. Thank you!
I have no recommendations, you are great. You've achieved optimal workload with two visits a week. The volume of new material is also optimal. For the class end time, if we have questions there is an extension of a few minutes which is a positive. Sorry I didn't find you sooner.
With gratitude for the very high and professional level of teaching - with dedication and at the same time - flexibility to the level of learners, optimal pace, clear and concise presentation of grammar rules.
So far I am impressed with the patience, responsiveness, diligence, and attention I receive from our teacher. An exceptional teacher, I say this from the position of a teacher with over 30 years experience. A heartfelt thank you! I did not expect to have so much knowledge and develop my reading, speaking and writing skills in German after two weeks of training.
