We only employ teachers we have trained to meet our high standards

We are committed to ensuring the best quality of teaching by providing professional teachers who have internationally recognised qualifications and have passed a specialist British Council teacher training course. This means that you can be sure of professionally delivered, pedagogically sound lessons that will help you meet your goals.

To ensure that our teachers are always improving their skills and are able to give you the advantage of the latest developments in English Language Teaching we run an ongoing professional development programme and encourage them to undertake further training, subscribe to relevant journals and attend ELT conferences.

Our teachers are friendly and approachable and will help you get the maximum benefit from our courses.

We use a proven methodology

Our teaching methods are informed by research in language learning and teaching. Our strong experience in India allows us to meet the specific needs of Indian learners.

Our classes are enjoyable and interactive and this makes language learning much more effective. As a student you will have lots of opportunity to practise speaking in pairs and groups, building your social skills and confidence.

All students take a language test before we place them in class to ensure that they receive the most appropriate lessons. We place a small number of students in each class, with a maximum of 20.

Comfortable, high-tech classrooms help improve your learning

Our well equipped classrooms are modern and air conditioned. They all have audio-visual and computer equipment.  Our teachers are trained to make the most of modern technologies and internet access to enhance your learning.
