Course Overview
Our General English + IELTS course is for students who need to improve their English level and take an IELTS exam at the end of their course, for example to study in higher education.
Students on our General English + IELTS course study General English every day in the morning, and prepare for the IELTS exam on three afternoons every week, for a total of 24 hours of study per week. It is a great course for students who want to achieve a certificate of English while living in London.
Our General English classes are based on the communicative approach. This means you learn English with a strong focus on speaking and listening skills, as well as reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary. In the IELTS lessons, we fully prepare you for the IELTS exam so that you can achieve your target score. Our teachers design the classes to provide you with the essential preparation and practice you need to succeed, with exam strategies and techniques to help you pass each part of the test.
