The type of courses we offer:
Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General English
English lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival English—needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'—those studying English usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefited from these English classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts for English culture and those hoping to pass a specific exam in English.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business English
The people who would benefit the most from these English tutorials are those who feel they need to learn English to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is essential. Once these have been practised, then reading and writing lessons can begin. Typical studiers have been those involved in international imports/exports, negotiations and acquisitions, multinational companies requiring another language and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Even our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail English as well as survival English should a visit to the country be necessary.

Top Tips For…
english Songs
California Dreaming- The Mamas and the Papas
California Dreaming is a popular American song from the 1960s you can use to take your listening skills and English vocabulary to the next level, especially if you are a beginner. For example, you will learn vocabulary about the weather and the seasons (“cold winter’s day”, “scorching hot”, “windy”) and colours (brown, grey, red), as the poetic persona expresses his longing for the warmth of California’s weather. Also, the singer pronounces very clearly and the song is relatively slow-paced, making it a great resource to practise your listening comprehension skills and even sing along to via karaoke!

Do you like electropop and want to take your English skills to the next level while you enjoy great music? Then, Dua Lipa’s songs are great choices!
