Our Methods
Deep dive needs analysis:
Each lesson is 100% tailor-made for you. To do this, we will do a deep dive into your English needs. We ask when, where, why and with whom you need to speak English. What problems you have and why. This, added to your online level test and oral analysis will give us a good base to build a tailor-made program for you.
Practice makes perfect:
We will focus on the specific needs that we identify during your deep dive analysis. We will do as much oral practice as we can by putting you in situations that will arise until you are confident in your ability to communicate effectively.
Feedback:
During the speaking practice, our teachers are constantly making notes of mistakes in grammar, pronunciation and syntax and will also give you constant feedback on you progress by correcting mistakes directly or at the end of the lesson in a 10 minute feedback and correction session.
Extra curricular activities:
We will help you as much as you can during our coaching sessions but it is also up to you to practice between lessons. To help you with this, we run multiple free activities each month where you can use what you have learnt with us in real-life situations. Activities include the Pub Night, Book Club, Basketball, Picnics, and more. It is the perfect opportunity to speak, network, laugh and lake friends with other English learners. Learn more here.
