Fun & informative lessons

Our English lessons are based mainly around speaking and listening and a small amount of grammar. Teachers will incorporate lots of conversation together with communicative activities, role play and drama. Our aim is to build confidence in vocabulary and pronunciation. Students will also read authentic material such as newspaper & magazine articles, learning about idioms, phrasal verbs and paraphrasing to include the main points. Lessons are fun yet informative thus keeping the attention of the class.

Intensive English – Club Intensif

For Groups looking for a more intensive learning experience our Club Intensif programme offers up to 4 hours of teaching per day. Take a look at an example of the Halloween Club Intensif programme. For additional information and agent’s prices please contact our office.
