Our mission

We are committed to providing students with a structured English language learning programme so each student can reach their full potential in a stimulating, rewarding and safe environment.

Our approach

We believe students learn most effectively when they are engaged, motivated and challenged. Our teachers use a range of age-appropriate techniques and resources ensuring the most effective language learning experience.

We expect our students to take an active role in their own learning and reflect on their progress. Our approach covers all aspects of communication with an emphasis on developing confidence in speaking to equip students with the English they will need for future academic study, employment and social situations.

Kids (9-11 years)

Children at this age benefit from established class routines and are capable of longer periods of concentration in a classroom setting. Learners are still developing concepts, literacy and numeracy in their first language and our carefully selected English course content supports this. Children learn by listening to songs, reading stories, playing games and working on class projects.

Students on our kids courses:

  • cover topics of interest to children and relate these to their own experiences
  • improve their language and grow in confidence
  • are exposed to natural language through activities giving them a real purpose to communicate in familiar and meaningful situations
  • extend their knowledge of the world
  • learn and practise a wide range of language functions
  • develop thinking and problem-solving skills and model universal values and behaviour.

What will my child learn?

Depending on their level, students on a typical course learn how to introduce themselves, follow verbal instructions, write an email and ask for things politely. They will use English to study interesting and relevant topics, such as caring for the planet, world travel and the Olympics.

Teens (12-17 years)

Students on our teens courses:

  • cover all aspects of communication – listening, speaking, reading and writing
  • build on their existing knowledge of English
  • engage in a variety of activities such as interviews, surveys, role-plays, giving presentations and writing book reviews to facilitate and develop a rich and effective use of English
  • develop study skills such as organising and monitoring learning, note-taking, memorising, managing time and reading effectively
  • use materials such as course books, video, ICT and other authentic materials 
  • work with the whole class, in pairs or groups or individually to vary and maximise opportunities for interaction and confidence building.

What will my child learn?

Depending on their level, students on a typical course learn how to give directions, complete an application form, order food in a restaurant and listen to news reports. They will use English to study interesting and relevant topics, such as social media and sustainable tourism.
