We believe that all learners choose to study the English language for a purpose and our English courses are designed with a sense of that purpose; personal, social, professional, and academic. We also emphasize the importance of learner autonomy, and our courses invite the learner to take responsibility for their progress and help them to develop their learning skills and the ability to develop themselves. This course runs in the mornings and will leave you time to look for an afternoon or evening job.
