LEVEL PLACEMENT
Before your Friday induction, you will be asked to complete a placement test in advance. This allows us to accurately assess your English proficiency before you arrive. Following a short speaking assessment during the induction, your level will be confirmed and your final timetable issued, ready for you to commence your studies on Monday.
Start your journey by doing, not just memorizing. Our A0 course is for total beginners, those with zero prior experience. From day one, you’ll practice the basic sounds, alphabet, and numbers through interactive classroom activities. You’ll master survival phrases like “hello,” “thank you,” and “I am learning” by using them in simulated real-life contexts. We focus on building your confidence through visual aids and immediate verbal practice, ensuring you can manage basic social interactions and immediate needs right away.
Take your first steps into real conversation. At the A1 level, our focus is on functional language—the kind you actually need to satisfy concrete needs. You will learn to introduce yourself, ask and answer personal questions, and interact with others in simple ways. Our communicative approach ensures that even at this basic level, you aren’t just learning grammar; you are learning how to successfully exchange information with speakers who are ready to support your progress.
Move beyond the basics and start navigating daily life. Our A2 course centers on meaningful communication regarding your family, shopping, local geography, and work. Instead of just studying vocabulary, you will participate in role-plays and task-based learning to handle routine exchanges and describe your background. The goal is to make you a basic user who can independently handle simple, everyday tasks through active speaking and listening.
Become an independent user of the language. B1 level is all about fluency in familiar situations. You will learn to manage travel scenarios, produce connected texts, and share your dreams and ambitions. Our classes prioritize authentic communication, moving you away from textbooks and toward discussing real-world topics. By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to maintain a conversation and express your opinions on clear, familiar matters.
Develop the “confidence” to function in academic and professional environments. At B2 level, the focus shifts to spontaneity and detail. You will practice defending your opinions in debates and understanding complex ideas. We use collaborative projects and discussions to help you move past a limited range of expression, ensuring you can interact with native speakers without strain for either party.
Refine your skills to a professional standard. Our C1 course is for users who need to communicate fluently and flexibly for social, academic, or professional purposes. You will engage with complex, authentic materials to recognize implicit meanings and nuances. Our approach at this level is highly discursive, focusing on producing well-structured, detailed text and speaking spontaneously without an obvious search for expressions.
