Typically, learning English means working through a textbook.

Expect learning that is fun and practical, where students talk, work in groups, and use learned language skills in real-life authentic situations, not just study from a textbook. We use technology like language labs and videos to keep things interesting and easy to understand. Lessons are based on real-life topics, like everyday conversations or cultural experiences, so you can learn in a more natural and enjoyable way.

Typically, the feedback you receive would feel generic and impersonal.

Expect small classes where teachers give you personalized feedback that fits your needs and helps you improve. Our instructors are experts in teaching English and offer clear, helpful advice to support your progress. You’ll also get regular check-ins and one-on-one meetings to make sure you're on track, not the generalized feedback you might find in other bigger programs.

You'll study in different places around the university and the city, which makes learning more interesting and helps you use English in real situations. Each day brings something new, so you’re not stuck in one classroom all the time, making the experience flexible, engaging, and fun!
