One Programme, Two Pathways

Dynamic, active English designed for every learner – from building fluency to stepping up to real-world communication. Rather than separating students into completely different courses, we have one programme with two pathways:

English Foundation (For levels A1 to B2)

For students who are still developing core fluency and confidence. They focus on building functional English, practical grammar and everyday communication, supported by project work and real-life language use.

Focus Areas:

  1. Fluency for everyday and social contexts.
  2. Functional language for teamwork.
  3. Grammar and vocabulary in action.
  4. Group projects with clear language support.
  5. Teacher-led sessions.
  6. Lessons use only current materials and exercises to build confidence for real-life situations.

 

Step Up English (For levels B2 to C2)

Suitable for mature students who already use English confidently and want to develop the skills needed for real-world academic, professional and leadership settings.

Focus Areas:

  1. Real English for seminars, presentations and debates.
  2. Advanced language drawn from current global issues.
  3. Critical thinking and confident, persuasive communication.
  4. Projects inspired by real industries (e.g. business & law).
  5. Student-led discussions and tasks shaped by interests.
  6. Lessons use only authentic and current materials to reflect how English is used in life beyond the classroom.

Attention will be paid to pronunciation and fluency throughout.

Important: Please note that students will need at least one year of English tuition before joining the English classes. This program does not accommodate complete beginners who have no knowledge of English.
