Our teachers are native speakers of English and our rigorous recruitment policy ensures that all our teachers have qualifications in teaching English and the experience needed to deliver high quality training.
Our methodology focuses on real life communication in English. We believe that the best way to learn English is to use the language as much as possible so only English is spoken in our classrooms. You will use up-to-date resources and cover aspects of modern UK culture as part of your course. Our teachers use modern methods which have been proven to be most effective in language learning. You will work in pairs and groups with other students in the class as well as with the teacher. To make fast progress in English you will need to take responsibility for your learning and you will be encouraged to develop your study skills in and out of the classroom. Your teacher will give you homework tasks which you are expected to complete as an important part of your course.
Our levels and end-of-course certificates are tied to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), devised by the Council of Europe. The CEFR is recognised as a measure of language competence by employers and institutions across Europe.
