Our approach to the Intensive General English curriculum’s design and delivery is to help students improve their English language ability. We recognise that all English language learners learn in different ways, progress at different rates and have different goals and we believe our curriculum, supported by optional free classes allows all students to meet their own individual language learning goals.

  • Learn English that you can use
  • Work harder, improve faster
  • Study in class, choose your optional extras
  • Choose “free” extra classes
  • 5 levels: Beginner to Advanced
