  • COURSE OVERVIEW

    • Improving fluency and accuracy in spoken English
    • Broadening vocabulary and lexical knowledge
    • Developing comprehension of both native and non-native English speakers
    • Building the skills and confidence to communicate effectively beyond the classroom environment

    Instruction is delivered by experienced and highly qualified educators in small class settings, ensuring individualized support and attention. Learner progress is closely monitored through regular assessments.

    Prior to the start of the course, a brief placement assessment will be conducted to determine the most appropriate class level, allowing you to begin your studies promptly and effectively.
