One to One

The one teacher to one trainee formula means a highly intensive, flexible and well-organised teaching programme that wastes no valuable time. The completion of the Needs Analysis Questionnaire and the Pre-Test allows the precise language aims of each trainee to be identified before the course begins so that an individual programme can be designed to obtain optimum results.

(Optional - two restaurant lunch discussions per week with a teacher - an excellent opportunity to review progress, to try out language structures learnt during the morning or to cement, between teacher and adult learner, the professional relationship so essential for rapid progress.)
