Course description

Right from the start, our experienced teachers will help you focus on the four crucial skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. From Monday to Friday in the classroom, our course is designed to make sure you are always building your language skills, while gradually increasing your vocabulary and knowledge of grammar at the same time. You can choose to take our Standard English course or Intensive programme – or even mix the two. This course is designed to maximise flexibility and allow you to learn English in a way that works best for you.

Over six months and longer, your language skills will grow more and more every day, giving you the confidence to use your English in real-life situations.
