    You may have very specific

    objectives, with the result that

    a group course is not right for

    you. If so, private tuition is the

    ideal solution.

    With a private tuition course,

    you receive the dedication of a

    personal tutor who will create

    a programme just for you. At

    the beginning of your course,

    we will perform a detailed

    analysis of your objectives and

    will obtain regular feedback

    from you to make sure your

    objectives are met.

    Some students choose to

    combine private tuition with

    one of our group courses

    (e.g. Prestige English,

    Executive English etc), so that

    they spend half the time in a

    group and half the time

    in private tuition.

    If you wish, you may also

    choose to take your individual

    tuition with one or two friends

    or colleagues - making it a 2:1

    or 3:1 course.

    >Coursecontent isentirelyfexible tosuit you

    What happens in class?Some students identify a specific

    area in which they need to improve.

    This requires totally personalised and

    focused training which a group course

    may not be able to provide.

    All our individual tuition programmes

    include a detailed needs analysis

    leading to an individual training

    programme ensuring that we maintain

    complete focus on the objectives that

    are established.

    Is this course for me?There is no typical private tuition

    student. You may believe that a group

    course is not the best solution for you,

    or you may have limited time available

    due to a busy career or home life.

    Students choosing private tuition do

    so for a number of different reasons,

    such as:

    > priority focus on specific areas of

    interest

    > preparation for an important

    presentation at work

    > increasing confidence in preparation

    for an English language conference,

    seminar or meeting

    > increasing overall level of confidence

    in all aspects of English language

    > wish for tutor to focus 100% on your
