English World courses are suitable for students who want to improve their all round skills and performance in English. Our lessons are lively and full of participation, helping you to make fast progress. You can study full-time (English World Intensive) or part-time (English World Semi-Intensive). Alternatively, you can complement the full-time programme with extra individual lessons (English World Combination). In all programmes, speaking, listening, reading and writing sessions are taught in three carefully structured units in the mornings. The afternoons in English World Intensive and English World Combination are devoted to developing particular language skills (e.g. listening and pronunciation, communication skills, grammar, vocabulary), or, as options, to preparing for exams (e.g. IELTS) or studying English for business purposes.

Take our individual courses to make the fastest possible progress. Individual programmes of 30, 25, 20 and 15 hours per week are available for clients wishing to maximise their time and efficiency.
Tailor-made for maximum progress One-to-one lessons offer students a programme which is designed precisely to their own unique requirements. In this way, you make the maximum possible progress because the teacher is able to focus on your needs and your personal learning style in every lesson. Throughout the day, you can supplement your lessons with self-study in our quiet areas or Study Centres. This helps to consolidate the work done during lessons. Teachers set self-study exercises and give direction and guidance for students to make the most of their consolidation time between lessons.
English for Specific Purposes
Individual tuition programmes are ideal for those who need to improve their English language skills for specific purposes. These programmes are available at our schools in London and Oxford where we offer English for finance, IT, pharmaceuticals, aviation, EU integration, the legal profession and the oil and gas industry. Teachers are chosen for their experience in or background knowledge of the subject areas.
