This is a more intensive General English course consisting of 25 lessons per week for those students who want extra tuition hours. Again, rather than look at what you have done in the past teachers look at what you know now and what you can do. The extra hours of tuition will allow you to further work on areas for improvement identified by your teacher.
As the name suggests, intensive English courses are best for students who would like to make progress quickly. For instance, many students choose to take an intensive course when they are aiming towards a specific goal, like a new job or educational course. Intensive courses are also popular with students who have limited time throughout the year to spend taking English lessons. Maximising the number of weekly teaching hours is an excellent way to fit learning English into your schedule, for instance if you have limited vacation days throughout the year.
Special note for 2023 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2023 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2022 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2023 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.
