We also provide English language courses and study assistance to school learners. Quality, attention to detail and results are what make our courses popular – roughly half of our new students come through referrals from past students!
EFL/ESL courses:
English language courses and coaching to both foreigners – EFL (English Foreign Language), and locals – ESL (English Second Language). We have pioneered one of the first courses to directly address the communication challenges faced by South Africans, for whom English is not their mother-tongue. This cost-effective, 12-week programme holistically trains the four linguistic skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and addresses many of the problem areas faced by South Africans in the business environment. For foreigners we offer the highest standard of General and Business English courses. We believe in small groups with 'targeted learning' and a constant monitoring and feedback process. We guarantee fast progress.
General English Lessons; Business English Classes; TOEFL preparation.
