Improve your child's English with our courses

If you want to develop your child's English using the latest learning methods, our courses and tests could be just what you need. We believe that learning is better when lessons are fun, interesting, interactive and challenging. We have courses to suit young learners at all levels from elementary through to advanced.

What type of courses we offer
Courses for Young Learners are designed to make learning English fun for children and young adults. They aim to give your children a head start, by developing their language skills in a stimulating and interesting environment. Courses are offered for different age groups and the materials used for the courses are designed to be appropriate for the age range and stage of development.

What makes our learning environment
Children are encouraged to use a wide variety of learning materials to make it as interesting as possible for them. All courses are limited to a maximum of 16 students per class lead by experienced teachers, which gives lots of chance for them to practise what they are learning. Courses usually cover grammar, vocabulary, listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Students are assessed throughout the courses so that they can see the progress they are making and see whether they are ready to move onto the next level.

Exciting ways to learn English
