Your Pathway to Practical English
These courses will help you to develop your practical communication skills by improving your speaking, listening, reading and writing. With an emphasis on academic/professional English, you will gain skill and confidence through a mixture of theory lessons, exercises and group activities to give you real-world experience.
One-to-one tutorials are also available (subject to availability) for those who want individual attention or who have a special goal in mind.
IELTS and Cambridge test practice will prepare you for your assessments if you need it, in all four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing).
Our classes are interactive and inclusive, and our small-group teaching provides all learners with constant practice, correction and feedback.
IELTS Preparation
IELTS and Cambridge test practice will prepare you for your assessments if you need it, in all four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing).
It is important to understand that the IELTS test is trying to measure your real English language level, and that you should not waste valuable time learning special ‘IELTS tricks’ that are sometimes suggested by ‘IELTS trainers’. The people who mark your IELTS exams are professional, experienced people – they know all these tricks and you cannot score extra marks this way.
Of course, you do need practice so that you will be comfortable in the real test, but strengthening your English is always the key. It is our job to bring you to the required level as quickly as possible.
We specialise in finding the areas that benefit most from attention, with testing to show you your progress. We concentrate on the ‘core’ of the English language (without local, cultural phrases and idioms) to teach a correct, formal style, so that you can become confident and fluent as quickly as possible.
By following an individual study plan, you can reach your required level, and achieve an IELTS (or Cambridge) test score to match.
