ESL Tuition
ESL (English as a Second Language) tuition is of
an experiential nature and does not constitute a
course. The classes are often few and just
gives students a taste of what a language school
would be like. Lessons are normally arranged
in the mornings and the nature of them will
depending on the groups requirements.
Classes are taught by qualified ESL teachers and
focus on grammar, speech and correct English usage.
Lessons are not just serious bookwork, often lessons
are designed to get the students more involved with
English in a practical and fun sense.
