About the Course
We have four different classes, so you will always be with other students with a similar level of English to you. Completion of a level usually takes 12 weeks full-time (2 hours in the morning and the afternoon), but a flexible timetable can be organised.
If you are higher than Upper-Intermediate or are looking for an exam-preparation class we can open a class just for you.

Our dynamic, engaging classes cover a range of skills from reading and writing, to speaking and listening. All our English as a Foreign Language courses are carefully structured to suit your needs, using a number of resources such as the English File (Third Edition) textbooks from Oxford University Press. These books combine fun topic-based lessons and interactive CD-ROMs to deliver successful & enjoyable lessons to get you talking inside (and outside!) the classroom.
We also offer private and closed-group classes where you can pick and choose the hours that suit you based around your school/work commitments.
