Erin School of English was established in 2003 with a simple goal - to teach real English for the real world. We have a team of devoted teachers who are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. We are developing the ability to communicate in English. To SPEAK, LISTEN, READ and WRITE. Our general English courses also include exam preparation for TIE, IELTS, CAE which are accepted by universities and employers arount the world. Our goal as a school is not for students to have learned a set of grammar items but to be able to express their thoughts in English as they do in their own language. This means that the learning objectives for all our courses are based on real world language use and mapped from the Common European Framework.
