Content may range from specialist exam preparation to general conversation lessons and dissertation checking.

What will my lessons be like?

• The first 90-minute session has a grammatical focus and is (usually) coursebook-based but will include speaking, reading, writing and listening exercises to cement the grammatical knowledge, further reinforced by weekly testing.
•  The second 90-minute session is focussed upon improving and extending the core skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking. A range of teaching methods and authentic resources are used in this session from newspapers and magazines to websites and other media through the use of our Interactive Whiteboards and self-study computer suite.
•  The third (optional) 90-minute session is more fluency based where students are given the opportunity to speak as much as possible, through games, quizzes, questionnaires and interviews as well as debating contemporary topics and issues. However, how ‘free’ the conversation is will be dependent upon level with lower levels needing a more structured approach to conversational interaction.
