Course description

We are an English language school situated in the city center of Cape Town. I would like to take the opportunity to tell you more about our services in the Industry. All our teachers are highly qualified and well trained individuals with years of experience. We offer various academic courses as well as social programs for our students, which allow the students to experience the diverse culture of our city.

We have designed a program for our “working class students” (E.S.P.) that would help them reach their performance in their workplace. This program helps both the employer and employee, the employee will be more competent and confident in his/her job with acquiring the English Language and therefore his/her performance will be of a higher quality. It would be an investment well worth making for the holistic benefit of your company.

We also have a program for young learners (Teaching English for young learners) TEYL-This program is a combination of academic and fun and stimulating activities ideally for the young ones. So an entire family could enroll for a specific course and be accommodated.

Our business English course is a program to assist students with acquiring various skills, like formal writing (e.g. emails, letters and various other correspondences). Building fluency in speaking and confidence in conducting presentations, meetings etc.
