We have early bird morning classes, sessions between 8:00am – 4:00pm and evening classes.
Our friendly and approachable staff enjoy welcoming students of all levels, from beginner to advanced levels.

You are welcome to join us whether you will study with us for 1 week, 1 month or 1 year – we are committed to helping you improve your English Language Skills.
Areas of focus for English Language Skills:
English for University covers the academic English you will need to excel at university for either undergraduate of postgraduate studies. You will develop your confidence and skill in important areas in academic reading, writing, listening, making group presentations and critical analysis.
This is an intensive preparation course which focuses on language skills and exam techniques needed to give you the best possible chance of getting the score you need for the university where you wish to study.
Some students also pursue the IELTS course for professional reasons.
This will combine the advantages of group classes with personalized learning. You can attend the group sessions and also have individual sessions to address specific English needs E.g. for those who are preparing for an IELTS exam or want to improve particular speaking/writing skills
This is a good option if you feel that a group is not suitable, you have limited time available or you have a specific need which requires individual attention. The training content is entirely flexible to suit you.
These courses are flexible to reflect the needs of participants. Our trainers are experienced - and they recognise that not all businesses/work situations are the same. We focus on building confidence in public speaking, presentation, negotiation skills and how to handle meetings effectively.
Regardless of your current language skills or experience level, our objective is to give you the skills and confidence to use English effectively in a wide variety of contexts.
This course targets adults at beginner levels in the development of their English Language Skills.
This course is for participants aged 30 and over, with an average age of around 40. Learning with like-minded people will help you feel less worried about being ‘too old’ to learn English. Our participants typically come from a range of professional and non-professional backgrounds.
