What is your current understanding of the English language?

New to English

I don’t know English. I want to learn.

Beginner

I can say and write a few things in English. (I can greet and speak a few words).

Elementary

I can communicate a little but need to learn more. (I can make short sentences).

Pre-Intermediate

I can make simple sentences and can understand the main points of a conversation but need more vocabulary and learn about tenses.

Intermediate

I can speak and understand English reasonably well and can use basic tenses but have problems with more complex word types and sentence construction. I also need to learn about writing to other people.

Upper Intermediate

I speak and understand well but still make mistakes and fail to make myself understood occasionally. I also need to work on my pronunciation and perfect my writing skills.

Advanced

I speak and understand English well but I need to communicate, analyse situations and interpret information on an advanced level.

Business English

I need to learn more business phrases, business writing as well as communication skills with colleagues at the office and in meetings.

IELTS student

I require preparation for either the Academic or General Exam. All four areas will be practiced in this course (Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking). If you wish to focus on specific areas only, we will customise your course accordingly.

Business Writing

I need to focus on professional business writing for e-mails, reports, and other areas at work. I also need to learn better words to use and to write information clearly.

Business Skills

I need to learn more business skills like presentations, meetings and general office communication. I could benefit from business writing and being more professional and tactful at the office. (We customise your course and you can select your own modules.)

Conversational

I need to learn to speak to people more fluently and broaden my knowledge about every day speaking at home, with friends or at work.

Life-skills

I need to learn English in specific areas of my life, like handling conversations or conflict. I could also benefit from writing about a specific topic (my interests or work).
