Questions and answers about TLI English School
- I'm looking for complete beginner English courses for a friend. It looks like your courses require some knowledge already.“The minimum required English level to book a course and study at TLI is A2. However, the student can combine group lessons with private lessons. Private lessons allow the student to focus on the missing links in their language acquisition or on a particular subject or vocabulary that they need.”Ana Carolina, LanguageCourse.net - Dec 01, 2021

Do you accept students of all ages?“Students of 16 years old and up can start their English programmes on any Monday, year-round. Teachers have plenty of experience in having students of all ages and adapting the content and rhythm of the class to students regardless of their age.”Ana Carolina Dos Santos, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 12, 2023
- Can I prepare my own meals at the accommodation?“This school only offers homestay accommodation. The use of kitchen is not permitted as the meals are included. You can choose a full board or a half board option.”Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 14, 2023
- The website says that the homestay is located about 26 minutes in the half board accommodation and with the full board option it mentions about 50 minutes away from the school. What is the reason for that difference?“The approximate times given on our website are average times reported by former students.
This means that how far your accommodation will be from the school will depend on availability of families during your stay.
The address is given around 1 week before the start date, after all fees have been paid so only then you will know exactly how far from the school you will be accommodated.”Gosia Mazur, LanguageCourse.Net - Mar 17, 2023
