our range of language courses typically offer 15 hours of tuition a week, with the exception of 20 hours on our homestay programme in oxford.

our timetable is usually organised on a ‘zig-zag’ basis. this means that students will have lessons in the morning and their social programme in the afternoon and evening. this is then reversed on a weekly basis. Consequently, students attend both morning and afternoon lessons on alternate weeks*. this allows the students to get the most of their time with us, with an emphasis put on both education and fun.

all students take an online test before arrival to assess their language knowledge and how well they are able to understand and speak english. this enables us to place them in a class they will be happiest and most successful in. In the case that a student is unable to take an online test prior to arrival, a placement test will be administered at the centre. the maximum class size is 15.

students’ progress is monitored throughout the course in a range of informal assessments conducted by teachers during the learning process, as well as at the end of the course in the form of a departure test.

our philosophy is to educate, encourage and help our students enjoy our course towns. It is often a case of helping students to ‘come out of their shell’, increasing their confidence in using english and providing an opportunity to use it in meaningful situations, both in the classroom and outside while socialising with students from many different countries.

But while celebrating British traditions, Brighton is also at the forefront of British culture.

Boasting a ruined castle, the idyllic ‘old town’ and two Victorian cliff railways, Hastings has a lot of interesting history to see.

Bexhill is a quaint old coastal town with plenty of green spaces, a long pebble beach and an abundance of edwardian and Victorian architecture. While the students will spend the majority of their time in Bexhill, they will still take excursions to nearby cities, and see a lot of the attractions that Hastings has to offer.
