The English Courses

Private English Tuition

Private lessons consist of the teacher and student only. The course content can be tailored to the needs of the student. This is a wonderful opportunity for highly motivated students to concentrate on the skills they need most. Course is subject to availability at the school.

TOEIC Exam Courses

This Test of English for International Communication checks your practical and everyday English listening and reading skills. It is a two-hour multiple-choice test. TOEIC proficiency scores are used by a wide range of companies as a management tool to check a candidate’s English skills when considering recruitment, promotion, job-training and overseas placements.

Intensive English

This course starts every Monday and caters for students from beginner to advanced level. This course is for students with an interest in improving their English in a wider, general context, whether it is for travel, friendship or their career. The course is divided into morning and afternoon components, making it possible for students to study full-time and take electives. Regular testing is done to monitor the students’ performance and give feedback.

Semi-Intensive English

This course starts every Monday and caters for students from beginner to advanced level. This course is for students with an interest in improving their English as well as an outside activity like working. Lessons are generally held in the morning, giving students free time to follow their own interests. The course provides the same kind of learning experience and the same components as in the Intensive Course, but obviously progress will be slower. Course is subject to availability at the school.

TOEFL Exam Courses

TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language. Many universities and institutions around the world use TOEFL scores as a condition of entry, especially in the USA and Canada.
TOEFL can now be taken as a written test or as a computer-based test. The test has four sections, which must all be answered. The sections are Listening, Structure, Reading and Writing. The difference between the written and the computer-based tests is that the computer-based test is computer-adaptive. This means that the computer chooses the next questions on how well you answered the last question.

Accommodation options

Students have the following housing options:

- Homestay

A Homestay is the greatest experience you can have when you travel. In an instant, you make friends and become a part of a family with whom you will correspond forever. You will play a great part in global exchange, promoting understanding and respect for other cultures and views.

Our Student Services Departments ensure that students are placed in caring and experienced Homestay families, while carefully matching families to students' Homestay requests. Students' welfare is as important to the school as their academic achievement, and we believe that this is what distinguishes us from other schools.

Schools provide 24-hour emergency contact numbers, which allow not only for students to feel safe and at ease, but their families in their own countries can have a peace of mind, too.
