Classes cover all the basic elements of learning
a language, speaking, reading, writing, listening,
grammar and vocabulary. They involve accent training
and awareness of international English usage too.
Classes are kept deliberately smaller to emphasise
student – teacher interaction because we believe that
this greatly improves the learning process, as the
teacher can attend to individual student needs more
effectively.
An initial assessment is performed prior to enrolment
to determine each students level in all skills, the
fee for which (£20) is deducted from the total fee.
