One to One lessons

This is a very intense way of learning English and will ensure that the student gains the maximum benefit from the class. The teacher can focus entirely on the needs of the student and give him or her 100% attention.
Our one to one lessons are tailored to the students' requirements and the course will be designed on the basis of a needs analysis, completed in advance by the student. Lessons can be taken on a part or full time basis.

Exam Preparation Classes (part time)

These classes provide students with preparation and practice for the IELTS exam.
They are ideal for those who need to polish their skills before the exam. As the course is part time (4 hours a week) it is recommended that students should be at an Upper Intermediate level at the point of enrolment. Homework is an important part of this course and students must be prepared to study outside lessons to benefit in the best way.
Lessons include:

Exam practice (past papers etc)
Techniques needed for each paper
Mock exam and interview
Regular marked homework
Regular tutorials
