English Language Courses
Everyone
We have a complete range of courses for adults, teenagers and children
Courses Overview
Our English language courses include a complete range of adult group courses for all levels, from absolute beginners up to advanced students. Some of our intermediate and advanced students study for international examinations such as Cambridge ESOL exams, IELTS and TOEFL.
For children and teenagers, our courses use methods and materials especially prepared for their respective ages.
We place a strong emphasis on students’ speaking skills. We also encourage students to tell us if they need any special vocabulary or material for their work or studies.
Course Standards
The English courses follow the standards specified by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. These standards ensure that we can support English Language certifications that ensure that each student has the expected levels of listening, reading, speaking and writing.
Below, we summarise the language ability expected at each level as defined by the CEFL standards.
You have the ability to communicate and exchange simple information
You can begin to express yourself when in familiar situations
You can express yourself in a limited way in familiar situations and begin to deal with nonroutine information.

You are now communicating with an emphasis on how well it is done and the ability to deal with unfamiliar topics.
You can now process material that is academically or cognitively demanding and your level of language would be more advanced than a native speaker in certain aspects.
Types of Courses
We provide a range of English language course types to cover individual, group and business learning requirements.
Private Lessons
Note that although these are for individuals, if you are a couple or there is another friend wanting to learn English at the same time as yourself, we do a 2 for 1 discount.
Group Sessions
These run from October to June and are structured according to the 6 levels of language proficiency in the Council of Europe’s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Summer Schools
All our English summer language courses are held in July (6 lessons a week). The adult course is for beginners and gives students a solid introduction to the language. The courses for children and teenagers have interactive activities and fun ways of communicating.
Tutorial Sessions
They are specifically for school pupils who are possibly struggling with school work, who have a project they need help with or an exam coming up.
Business Courses
We provide tailor made courses for local businesses. Previous courses have included employees of the town hall, restaurants, hotels, banks, architecture companies, hospitals and real estate agencies.
Each course is designed to meet the specific needs of a business. Therefore, before a course can begin, we will work with you to create a course syllabus that meets your precise requirements.
