Study

Our priority is your success. In order to suceed you need a comfortable environment, friendly and supportive staff, personal attention, continuous challenge and stimulation in your studies and a dynamic atmosphere. It is our commitment to you to provide all this and more.

Our teachers are carefully selected and are indeed our greatest asset. They are chosen not only for their friendly, supotrive and motivating approach but also for their experience and specialist qualifications in teaching English. Many of our teachers also speak a foreign language and have lived in foreign country. They are therefore more capable of understanding your needs as a language learner and the difficulties you may face living away from home. 

 We monitor our students’ learning very closely by conducting monthly tests and providing students with regular reports on their progress. Reports contain personalised comments from the teachers on students’ strengths, weaknesses and a recommendation for improvement.
