English for Life
Much more than a General English course!
Our English for Life courses are designed to improve the language skills you need to communicate in all areas of your life: academic, professional, or just for fun. These courses are designed to the competency of your English at progressive levels by developing the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking without compromising on grammatical accuracy and vocabulary range.
We have a continuous assessment programme where you will be able to track how well you are progressing on a weekly basis and also be able to identify your weaknesses and develop self-study techniques with the help of your teacher.

When can I start my courses?
You can start your course any Monday as long as it is not a Bank Holiday here in England. If there is a Bank Holiday* on your first week, you will then start your course on a Tuesday. Our continuous assessment policy allows us to offer you a class that challenges your current English language proficiency 44 weeks a year. However, we do recommend A1 students to start their courses in the months of January, April, July or September.
* Bank Holidays 2021 2nd April (Good Friday), 5th April (Easter Monday), 3rd May (Early Many bank holiday), 31st May (Spring bank holiday), 30th August (Summer bank holiday).
**The school will be closed for the Christmas holidays from 17.12.2021 to 09.01.2022
What are the levels?
We offer the following levels in our English for Life programme.
How can I find my level?
The first step is to do our online test. After that you will have a little chat with Tamara Leacy, our Director of Studies, and she will be able to tell you which of the levels above you should start from.
Accommodation
We offer both host family and residential accommodation to all our students.
