Group courses

If you choose to study in a group then you will be in a class with a maximum of 8 students. On arrival you will take a short test to determine which class is right for you. We cater for beginner, elementary, intermediate and advanced level students.

At higher levels the courses are designed for visitors who wish to improve their existing language skills. In class, you will have the opportunity to improve your speaking, reading, comprehension and writing, while special emphasis is placed on speaking and grammar.
