English for the over 30s

Courses Max 4 Intensive English 30+

This course is designed for more mature students and professionals wanting to improve their English in a more intensive setting with a maximum of 4 students per class.

Description

Our small class size offers the opportunity for students to develop their English on a programme of negotiated content between students and their teacher. Great emphasis is placed on developing all aspects of communication. You will study all four skill areas, underpinned by grammar and pronunciation.

Aims and objectives

Students are enabled to develop all aspects of their English in a supportive classroom environment, with a very low student- teacher ratio.

Students can transfer on to our Exam courses. MAX4 is taught at all language abilities, so students have the opportunity to progress through all the levels of the CEFR.
