Students will take a placement test before you start to determine which level you will be placed in. You will study a balanced mix of skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and systems (grammar, vocabulary, functions and pronunciation), with an emphasis on practical, everyday communication.

The school carries out weekly tests to make sure that you are progressing and does regular checks to see if you are meeting your goals. The teachers work hard to make sure that you are being challenged and are that you are improving your own weak areas.

Lessons are fun, interesting and useful. Students are given the chance to suggest lesson topics, classroom activities and areas of language to study, meaning that there is always something to gain from these classes.
