Small group lessons
Group lessons (maximum 6 people) take place in the morning from 9am to10:30 a.m. and last 90 minutes.
The objective is to develop the four basic skills namely "understanding, speaking, reading and writing".
Every week we study
a topic of grammar and new vocabulary that we put
in practice in written exercises and communication situations. In beginners' classes, particular attention is paid to pronunciation as well as exercises in oral comprehension. In more advanced classes, we also work on news articles and put more emphasis on writing texts and spelling.
Private lessons
Private lessons last 60 minutes and are organized on the same model as group lessons, i.e. on the practice of the four basic skills. Here, however, attention can be paid to the specific needs of the learner (professional activity, particular project, etc.)
An appropriate solution for those who want to progress at their own pace.
Conversation course
Conversation lessons last 60 minutes.
At the intermediate level we work on everyday life situations or on the basis of a short trigger text. The dialogues in interaction make it possible to enrich the vocabulary and to learn useful expressions.
At the advanced level, more freedom in choosing subjects, often news articles. On request we can also read a novel. Emphasis is placed on the ability to argue, to identify the important themes , to defend one's point of view and to react to the opinions of others.
