Our General English classes are taught using a communicative method to teaching English.

Even though the all aspects of language are covered, there is a particular emphasis given to speaking and listening and will involve students communicating with each other in English.

Our qualified language teachers use a variety of modern teaching approaches and deliver to small groups effectively. The teachers provide students with fun and challenging speaking activities which allow students to practise the language in real life situations and contexts.

Our activities, such as role-play, discussions, debates, games, problem solving activities and quizzes, are designed to generate a lot of interaction so that students can practise their speaking and listening skills.

The IELTS preparation courses are for students who want to take the IELTS Academic Exam. This course is designed for preparing students at intermediate level and above for the IELTS Exam. It aims to develop your English skills and improve your exam techniques. Not only will our IELTS Preparation course help you develop the language skills you need for the exam, but it will also prepare you for work and study in an English-speaking environment by improving your overall level of English.

Sport provides students with an opportunity to not only develop their fitness skills but also their language and social skills. Our state-of-the-art sports and leisure facilities include a sports hall for basketball, volleyball, badminton, football as well as a climbing wall.

Alongside the indoor facility we have a 3G Astroturf for football, hockey and rugby. We also have a fitness suite which boasts the latest cardio and resistance training equipment.
