The specific information for each course, such as class sizes and timetable will vary depending on where you take the course.
General CourseThis course teaches General English and uses all four elements of language study: reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as giving you grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary on a daily basis. This course is designed to teach you English for General Purposes and attracts students of all ages and nationalities. |
Intensive CourseAn Intensive Course follows the same principal as a General Course but gives you more hours of study per week. Ideal for learners who already have a working knowledge of English but perhaps may be limited on the amount of time they have for a course. |
Exam Preparation - IELTSThe International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is the exam used to test the English level of international students wishing to gain entry to universities in Britain, Australia or New Zealand. The test measures students’ ability to communicate in all four areas of language study – reading, writing, speaking & listening. |
Combined CourseA Combined Course allows you to combine group classes with individual lessons. Whilst being intensive, it also gives you the advantage of studying as a group with fellow students and to then compliment this with individual lessons to help focus on areas you may like to give further attention. |
Individual CourseTaking an individual course means you can study one-to-one with a teacher for as many hours a day as you prefer (though we recommend a maximum of 5 hours a day). The course can be tailored completely to your needs so you can focus on any areas of study that you would like to improve. |
Cambridge Exam Preparation CourseCambridge ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) is a department of the world-famous and historic University of Cambridge. Attaining one of its certificates is an achievement and a reward in itself. However, there are many other benefits to taking a Cambridge Exam: |
TOEFL - Exam Preparation CoursesThe TOEFL (Test Of English as a Foreign Language) exam is the most widely accepted English language test in the world and is highly regarded and recognised by universities and academic institutions in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is similar to the IELTS test but is more commonly used in North America. |
JuniorsThe benefits of study abroad for young people are endless. We often hear people saying that they believe it’s easier to learn a language when you’re young. Well why not take advantage of this well known fact and book an English language study trip for summer 2010. |
Business EnglishYour Business English course will vary depending on the school you choose, but the charactaristics of the business or executive English courses follow the same idea. They are designed to help business people, executives and professionals to expand and improve their English within the business world. |
Live-In English CourseLive-In English courses involve staying in the home of the tutor while receiving one to one lessons. This method of learning is intensive and ideal for those with a limited amount of time to commit to their studies. Staying in the home of your teacher will not only give you intensive English lessons but will also give you a great insight into the ways and customs of British people in the UK. |
