Course description

Private lessons are particularly useful to anyone who wishes to make maximum progress in their English in minimum time.

Students begin by completing a Needs Analysis Questionnaire (adults only) which then forms the basis for course design. Materials are hand-picked from a variety of different sources to ensure that the student’s needs are met at all times. These needs can range from simply wishing to improve spoken or written English to needing to learn English for Law, Hotel and Catering, Tourism or Medicine. Provided the school is informed well in advance, any specialism can be catered for and teachers are delighted to integrate any materials that the student wishes to bring from home.

"Conocí a compañeros japoneses muy agradables."

Ana Marco, student from Spain

Mi profesora, muy bien la verdad, muy amable y los compañeros españoles se portaron mal; los castigaron muchas veces en dirección. Yo creo que se debería mezclar más los estudiantes y no todos los estudiantes españoles juntos.
Por que no avanzábamos en clase por culpa de unos pocos.
