Questions about SpeakingCamps
Getting started
What is SpeakingCamps?
English speaking practice for adults: a short camp every day, live clubs every week, and voice feedback from a real tutor on your recordings. Practice happens in your browser; the community and the membership are on Skool.
What level do I need?
Pre-Intermediate and up, so about A2 and above. Daily camps go from Pre-Intermediate to Advanced, and the Pre-Int to Intermediate course is made for the step up. Not sure? Take the free 60-second level check.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes, in two ways. The free demo needs no sign-up and has a real camp, the first days of each course and the speaking rooms. The membership itself starts with 7 free days.
Can I talk to someone first?
Yes. Book a free demo lesson: 20 minutes on Zoom with Olga, with a quick level check, a short practice and a plan for your goal.
How much time does it take?
About 20 minutes a day for a camp. Course days take 25-40 minutes. Join a club when it suits you. Any practice counts toward your streak.
Membership and price
How much does it cost?
A free Skool account opens the speaking rooms, the Saturday Open Club, today's camp and Interview English. Membership is $39 USD a month: every course, every club, daily camps and tutor feedback.
Is there a discount right now?
Yes, until October 31: early members pay $19 USD a month instead of $39 (50% off), and keep that price for as long as they stay. The 7 free days and the 30-day money-back guarantee still apply.
How do I cancel?
Anytime, in your Skool settings.
Is there a refund?
Yes, a 30-day money-back guarantee. Write to olga@speakingcamps.com within 30 days and you get your money back.
Why is the membership on Skool?
Skool holds the community, the club calendar and payments in one place. The practice itself happens on the SpeakingCamps site.
Is there a referral program?
Yes. Every member gets a personal invite link in Skool. When a friend joins through it, you earn 40% of every membership payment they make, for as long as they stay. Find your link in Skool under your profile → Affiliates.
Feedback and privacy
Who listens to my recordings?
A real person: your tutor, Olga. You get voice feedback within 48 hours on a private page only you can open. Recordings aren't sent to any AI.
What does the feedback include?
On reviewed courses: rubric scores, your strengths, what to work on first, and voice notes. CELPIP takes also get a CLB estimate. See a CELPIP sample or an Interview sample.
How long are recordings kept?
Six months, then they are deleted automatically. Scores and notes stay. Details on the recordings privacy page.
Clubs and speaking rooms
When is the live club?
The Saturday Open Club meets on Zoom at 11:00 am ET. Everyone starts together, then splits into breakout rooms by level. See the club schedule.
Do I need my camera on?
No. Cameras are optional, and mistakes are welcome.
What are the speaking rooms?
Self-guided rooms open 24/7. Pick a topic, answer three quick questions (group size, time, level), and the page runs the session: questions, timer, and hard words translated into 10 languages. Use them with friends or on your own.
Exams
Is this official CELPIP or IELTS prep?
The practice follows the real test format and timing, but SpeakingCamps isn't affiliated with Paragon Testing Enterprises (CELPIP) or with IELTS.
CELPIP or IELTS: which one should I practice for?
The one your program asks for. CELPIP-General is made for Canada; IELTS is accepted in more countries. SpeakingCamps has a 2-week CELPIP Speaking course and a 30-day IELTS Speaking plan.
The iPhone app
What is the SpeakingCamps app?
An iPhone app, SpeakingCamps: English Fluency, with camps and an AI speaking buddy for solo practice.
How do I start in the app?
Download it, choose a topic and level, open the camp and follow the steps on screen.
