One-on-one tuition for maximum efficiency and 100% focus on the individual
Private tuition is known to be a highly effective way to learn, which is why we encourage all students to take up individual lessons with a team of carefully selected tutors. These one-on-one lessons allow the tutor to devote his/her full attention to the individual student and focus on the student’s particular study or career objectives. The tutor will adapt the course to the student’s precise level, concentrating on the student’s individual linguistic needs and addressing the student’s particular areas for improvement.
Learning through private tuition also has the following advantages:
- the student can learn at his or her own pace
- tutors are able to focus on areas of difficulty and skim over areas in which the student is already well practised
- tutors are able to incorporate into lessons those learning techniques that are best suited to the particular student (e.g. discussion based on pre-lesson reading or audio material, role play scenarios, grammar exercises)
- one-on-one lessons can be particularly effective for reserved or inhibited students, who will benefit from maximum speaking practice.
Our unique approach: one student, multiple tutors
Each student undertaking private tuition will be assigned a team of tutors, rather than just one tutor. This allows students to gain exposure to a range of tutors, each with their own approach to teaching and each with their own individual career background, personality and accent. Many tutors have particular expertise in one or more specialisations, which may be relevant for students looking to gain language proficiency in a particular area.
The combination of private tuition and full immersion in British culture and way of life creates the perfect environment in which students can achieve dramatic improvements in their English skills.
