Grammatical structures and vocabulary dealt with in morning lessons can be put into practice in these lessons, allowing a greater degree of reinforcement.

Students on these courses have the added benefits of regular monthly tutorials for the purposes of ensuring that they are happy with their progress and determining ways in which they can continue to improve their competence and effective communication.

Free inbound transfer
University placement service
Two private lessons every week designed in discussion with you to meet your particular needs

This course is for students who are seeking to communicate effectively in everyday situations and gain a sound understanding of the principles of the English language. The morning lessons are designed around a course book and provides the opportunity for students to improve the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as enhancing and increasing their active / working vocabulary and grammar knowledge. By the end of their stay the students can expect to have improved not only their communicative competence, through their study of ‘survival’ English and ‘everyday’ English but will have also achieved a new level of learner autonomy and confidence.
