Non accredited ESOL learning reading, writing, speaking and listening
Our general English courses focus on speaking and listening, grammar, reading and writing. They help to equip learners for everyday life and situations as well as providing grammatical information at the appropriate level. Students will be entered for the Trinity speaking and listening exam at their level at the end of the course. Our courses are fully streamed and available at A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1 levels.
Our Cambridge exam courses directly prepare learners for their exam, at either FCE or CAE level. They are intensive and focused but flexible in meeting students’ everyday needs too.
We also offer a Life Skills course which deals with everyday situations and focuses on requests from learners. We have an A1/2 group and a B1/B1+ group.
All courses are for 4 hours a week for 15 weeks and the costs include exam fees. All courses are delivered by qualified and experienced ESOL tutors.
