Marc Aboucal, Agricultural Engineer, Agrosup, France - in classEach class is 60 minutes long and there is usually a short break in the morning. We use books, cards and games to help you, as well as authentic materials, such as newspapers and radio programmes. You can bring your presentations and assignments from work. In that way, we can use your own unique business material for your classes.

There is one afternoon or evening excursion per week which is arranged around your own interests, whether you like shopping or visiting museums, going to see live music or to the cinema or having a drink at a typical English country pub. Extra excursions are available on request and are charged separately, depending on destination and duration.

All course books and teaching materials are included. Your bedroom is a warm and comfortable room with a desk so you can study and all meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are also included.

 

Further Online Lessons

You can have English lessons by internet, using Skype with a web cam, for all levels. This is a very effective way for students to continue their studies after they have returned home, to ensure that all they have learned will not be lost through lack of practice.
