It is important to us that students feel welcome throughout their entire stay at the school. A good first day is essential to this, and we try to ensure that students are made to feel comfortable and familiar right from the start.
As a part of this process, students are given a welcome talk on the first morning of school. After this, students are introduced to the school facilities and given information about attractions and amenities in the local area.
All students take a placement test on the first day of their course to determine their English language level. From the result of the placement test students are then placed in an English class best-suited to their ability.
Student progress
Throughout the course, progress is monitored through regular assessments. Tutorials (short one- to-one individual interviews with the teacher) are held every 4 weeks between September and June. In addition, students are always able to discuss their individual progress with their teachers.
A weekly teachers’ meeting enables us to carefully monitor each student and decide on any necessary changes. Additionally, for long-term students, formal monthly progress reports can be provided.
