Julie began her VivaLing journey in 2022 with the goal of preparing for her Cambridge B1 exam. But she didn’t stop there! At the beginning of 2024, she decided to take on a new challenge — the C1 Advanced, one of the most demanding English exams.
To make it happen, she turned once again to VivaLing and worked closely with Coach Lindsey to reach her goal.
💬 Julie’s Testimonial
“ I got my results and I have passed the exam ! I had 171 points for the writing part ( B2 ), 189 for the speaking ( C1 ), 193 for the listening part ( C1 ), 200 for the reading ( C2 ) and 208 for the use of English ( C2 ). On average my score is of 192 out of 210 meaning that I have passed the exam with grade C. I am quite proud of it since I was so stressed that I had slept only 2.5 hours the night before 😅. Thank you for all the lessons it helped me a lot !”

🎓 Coach’s Perspective
“It was a true collaboration. I gave Julie exercises to complete at home, and then we reviewed and refined them together during our sessions — analyzing her choices, correcting errors, and perfecting her techniques.
Learning is an exchange between teacher and student, and Julie fully embraced that process. She was determined, always prepared, and receptive to feedback.
The one-on-one format was especially valuable for speaking practice. We simulated real exam conditions, practiced under pressure, and fine-tuned her responses — something that wouldn’t have been possible in a group setting.
Julie’s success in the CAE exam is the result of her hard work, perseverance, and our collaborative approach. It’s a remarkable achievement that I’m very proud of.”
