General English
The general English courses are for all levels. For people,
who are starting English from zero to those who want to improve their knowledge
of the language for different motives e.g. work, study, tourism, socialising
or simple interest.
We provide individual lessons (1-to-1) or small group
lessons of maximum 4 students
Lessons are customised as much as possible to the
specific needs of the individual student or group, focusing on the areas
of greatest difficulty (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, etc.).
Courses and lessons are organised to stimulate the curiosity
and interaction with the student. The strong emphasis placed on conversation
and interesting, up-to-date digital support material (texts, explanations,
exercises, etc.) make the lessons enjoyable and most importantly effective.
Our lessons and courses are provided by qualified
English mother tongue teachers. Our method of teaching is the communicative
approach.
In the event of group lessons, each student can connect
from the place he/she happens to be in. It is not necessary for students
to travel to a common meeting place. Each student must have a computer and
a fast broadband connection (at least 8 Mb/s).
Lessons are available from 8:00am to 8:00pm Monday to Friday and from 8:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday (GMT-Dublin time). Please
