Summer Tuition and Activities
Our Summer Programmes are developed to offer enjoyable
student experiences by combining tuition with comfortable
accommodation, fun activities and excursions.

We use the communicative teaching method to create a fun and entertaining
teaching approach for students. Our courses will help them learn language
skills they can use outside of the classroom, in the real world.

Our teachers aim to help students:

Activities
We design our activities to support our tuition. The Activity Programme aims to ensure that every
student has an enjoyable experience while encouraging them to practise their English outside of the
classroom. Sports, film nights, arts and crafts, photography club and scavenger hunts are just some
activities that keep them busy in between lessons.

We also have fun games and activities to keep students busy during the evening hours.
Students can dance the evenings away at discos, show off their more competitive side in
quiz nights or socialise with their new friends at a talent show.
