Accreditation:

We are very proud to announce that in 2010 we were accredited by Cambridge University (United Kingdom) ESOL Examinations department, as an authorised Cambridge University ESOL examinations centre.

Our Teachers:
The DLC teachers are all highly qualified, and they all have a TEFL or Teaching English as a Foreign Language qualification from one of the major international teacher training centres. It is important that our teachers do not simply guide students through a text book, but rather to create materials which will be relevant to students and the conversational situations they need to master. For that reason, we try to encourage reading and writing practice for homework, while focusing more on communication and language usage in class. This method has been proven to work.
