How are the courses structured?
A full English language course cycle is organised around a twelve-week programme which roughly corresponds to a full course book. Students are free to join courses at any point during this cycle depending on your level.
The courses are aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR), the international standard for English language learning: Elementary (A1) to Proficiency (C2).
You can study for as long as you want and advance at your own pace.
The online classes offer flexibility and the chance to customise your studies to fit your personal needs and preferences. You will be taught in an inclusive and open environment and receive every help to reach your study goals.
You decide when you feel ready to move levels in consultation with your teacher.

What happens in the online classes?
Live online lessons take place on Zoom and last for 60 minutes. There is a maximum of ten students in any class.
The classes are organised around the latest course books and generally cover one main point of grammar and vocabulary per week. The four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing are all covered.
Follow-up exercises and activities outside of class time are shared through Google Drive and Google Classroom.
The live online classes are interactive and have a strong communicative methodology. You will learn with other students at the same level as you and you will get lots of speaking opportunities to gain confidence and fluency.
Tools such as Zoom breakout rooms provide the opportunity for pair work or small group work, similar to a physical classroom.

Levels, testing & certificates
Before starting any course, you should complete a short online level placement test to get an idea of your current English level.
After completing a 12-week module, students can normally move up to the next level. If you feel you are ready to move up a level earlier, you can contact me at any time. You can also, if you wish, do a level change test.
You will get a certificate of achievement on successful completion of a module. The certificate details your CEFR level and the number of study hours you have completed.
Exam preparation courses
We can offer preparation for IELTS exams, Cambridge (First Certificate, CAE etc,), TOEFL, GMAT / GRE / LSAT (Verbal reasoning & writing sections), TIE and others.
In exam preparation classes, you will improve test-related skills, gain test awareness and learn about test formats and different question types. You will be guided to develop effective test strategies and given tips and techniques to help you perform better on your test day.
