OUR METHODOLOGY
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 recourses 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.
