Organization Of
Classes
Potential
entrants are informally assessed
for their ability levels and
then put into the right class
for their level, and re-assessed
periodically.
We understand
that students have individual
learning styles, abilities and
attitudes and ensure that
lessons are planned according to
the needs of the class.
Timetabled classes
We
offer timetabled classes
in English, with a
maximum of six students
per class, and
individual private
lessons in English. In
these classes, we are
able to gear the
teaching to the
individual’s learning
styles and provide a
more effective
personalised approach,
as well as students
having the benefit of
practicing the English
language with their co-students in the
classroom setting.
The
materials employed are
based on tried and
tested methods for the
specific classes. For
example:
Where
the class has
rudimentary level of
English, special
materials have been
developed and specific
exercises are conducted
to stimulate quick
learning of vocabulary
and speech.
For students who can
read and write
English, but lack
confidence with
speaking, emphasis
is placed on
conversational
skills and
particular problem
areas such as
language structure
and pronunciation.
For children
attending the
British schools, we
use the English
National Curriculum
as our basis of
teaching and place
equal emphasis on
speaking, reading
and writing. The
material used
conforms to the
National Curriculum.
Individual
tuition
For one-to-one
classes, in both English and Mathematics, we provide an individualised
programme to meet the requirements of the student.
