General English
General English is where most of our students start, and where many of them first hear themselves speak with confidence.
You arrive knowing words but not quite trusting them. That's normal. In General English we work on speaking, listening, reading and writing together, using the situations you meet every week: the GP surgery, the bus, the small talk about rain that every Brit seems to love.
Classes run in small groups, so you speak a lot and your teacher hears you properly. Grammar is taught when you need it, through real conversations and short tasks rather than long lectures.
Before you join, you take a placement test. It tells us which level fits, so you are never lost and never bored. Come to the centre or join online.
