    Teacher profiles

    Hi, Im Hilary and Ive been working at SELC since 1995! Before joining SELC

    I spent several years teaching and studying in Japan, and Ive also learned

    French and recently started studying Spanish, so I understand how difficult it

    can be for language learners sometimes.

    Ive taught on all the different programs that we offer at SELC. Im also an Oral

    Examiner for the Cambridge Speaking Exams, which means that I can give

    students useful advice for the exam!

    Im now Head Teacher at SELC, so I get to meet all the students and help new

    students to settle in. It also means that I liaise with all the teachers and other

    staff to make sure that things run smoothly and that students and teachers are

    happy. This gives me lots of variety in my job, and thats great!

    Our teachers are all well qualified

    and take part in an ongoing

    professional development program.

    SELC has staff with many years

    examining experience for the major

    international English language tests.

    SELC students consistently achieve

    excellent scores in the IELTS, TOEFL,

    TOEIC and Cambridge tests.

    StudentsTeachers

    We are committed toexcellence in teaching

    What makes us really special is the caring and personalised attention

    teachers give students, both in and out of the classroom.

    You will receive quality instruction from our team of teachers who are:

    University graduates

    Certified second language instructors

    Experienced

    Dynamic and interesting

    Friendly and helpful

    Studying at SELC was

    a fantastic experience.

    I loved the teachers;

    they really helped me

    improve my English.

    SELC has great

    facilities and is so

    close to the beach.

    I made some great

    friends from many

    countries.

    Minimum age for all courses: 16

    Student profiles

    I started teaching 10 years ago in Sydney. I went travelling to

    Europe and taught for a year in London, then I went to Spain and

    spent three years in Barcelona and Bilbao. While I was there I took

    Spanish lessons, so I know how it feels to be a stranger in a foreign

    country and to struggle with the language.

    I think during my career I have taught every single type of class

    there is General and Business English, EAP, Cambridge, IELTS

    and TOEIC, to all levels! My favourite is Cambridge because I like

    teaching students who are motivated and keen to learn, and also

    because we become a little family for twelve weeks; we work hard

    and play harder!

    I love living in Sydney because its a vibrant, exciting place with

    plenty to do in the evenings and at weekends, and of course there

    are lots of beaches nearby to enjoy!

    When I rst arrived in Australia my English level was quite low.

    I had learned English at high school but sll couldnt speak very

    well. The General English course helped me to gain condence and

    improved my ability in everyday communicaon. From this course I

    learned useful communicaon skills to help me improve enough to

    join Cambridge Preparaon - and I had a lot of fun on the way.

    ease in any situation. You will start to feel more at home in the English-speaking world right from the beginning. Students do a

    Every Wednesday students in the

    and above) do a full-day elective

    course. This gives you a change of

    learning environment and allows you

    to direct your studies toward your

    own specific interests or goals.

    I really enjoyed the range and quality of the SELC elecve courses I

    took during my General English course. I was able to learn English in

    an interesng and focused way and made fr iends and met teachers

    from other classes. I think its a great idea to have a full-day elecve

    course each Wednesday and theres enough variety to choose a

    dierent one every new term.

    enabling students to gain practice using

    authentic IELTS materials.

    I had taken an IELTS test in Germany and was awarded a 5.5 overall

    but this was not enough for my chosen course of study. I found that by

    doing this intensive full-me IELTS course I quickly improved all my skills

    (reading, wring, listening and speaking) and my overall score. I was

    able to enter my course aer a few challenging but enjoyable months,

    thanks to my excellent teachers and this well-designed course.

    An individual counselling service is available in the second week

    of every term. Each class member has the opportunity for a one-

    to-one consultation with their teacher regarding their English

    progress. This session provides opportunities for the teacher

    to give feedback on each students strengths and weaknesses

    as well as allowing students to ask questions regarding the best

    way to meet their individual English requirements.

    Students can also make an appointment with the Educational

    Counsellor for more help and advice on how to make progress

    in English.

    2. Personal counselling

    Aside from academic counselling, students who study in

    a foreign country away from their home sometimes need

    additional support. Bert, our Student Counsellor, is available to

    assist students with issues that can arise when settling into a

    new culture.

    For me, one of the best things about studying at SELC was

    all the great extra activities. There was always something

    on and I went to a lot of welcome parties, harbour cruise

    parties and BBQs at the beach with SELC students and

    teachers. These and the organised soccer and beach

    volleyball games are a great way to relax and make friends

    outside the classroom. I had the time of my life!
