Course description

One-to-One tuition is the ultimate course for making maximum progress during a short period of time. This is an intensive course which is 100% focused on your English language needs and designed by your teachers to meet your requirements.

One-to-One is the most flexible and personal course available.You'll get more out of this course if:

- You wish to improve your level significantly in a short time.
- You want to have targeted learning in areas of weakness or areas where you are lacking confidence.
- You feel you would benefit from uninterrupted teacher attention.
- You want to build a one on one relationship with an experienced teacher.

You can combine One-to-One tuition with a group course. This gives you the advantage of the interaction of a group in the morning and individually tailored tuition in the afternoon. This is a great way of accelerating your progress.

Maximum flexibility

Feel free to go 'off topic'. A one-to-one lesson is designed for you, by you. Set your own goals for the lesson and one of our friendly English teachers will help you reach them. The flexibility of our teachers allows you to choose the English that you want to learn.

Individual focus

A private English lesson means personalised attention to you - you will receive your teachers undivided attention, receive guidance and feedback that is specific to you and your goals.

Tailored to your needs

Spending so much direct time in contact with your teacher means that he/she will know exactly which areas of your English you need to improve. Working together you will reach your English goal. That's the benefit of such a high level of personalised attention.

Please note that the first day is mainly focused on pre-test and orientation. This is the timetable of the student:

08:30 - Student arrival and check-in
09:00 - Placement test and interviews
11:00 - Welcome breakfast and orientation with various EC staff members
12:00 - Welcome tour of school neighbourhood

Students taking courses with 20 or 24 lessons per week will not have class on the first day due to orientation, while those taking courses with 30 lessons per week will have two classes in the afternoon on the first day after orientation.

Course topics

Students learn through context and real situations that help them to learn in a natural way. Teachers supply new topics daily, and utilize textbooks, authentic materials and resources, including newspapers, videos and the internet, to show and teach English in an everyday context.

"Great"

DANIELA ALEXANDRA VASCO MONTEIRO, student from Angola

The classes were great. I enjoyed the teachers. I also took advantage of the facilities which helped me to progress in my studies. However, there was only one issue - when I needed to change classes I could not change because they were full.

"I found new friends from all over the world and I practiced English speaking and writing."

Elvira Ripco Sipos, student from Serbia

The school is in the neighborhood of the British Museum. Students are older than thirty years, so I felt comfortable between them. Every student has a notebook at the adequate level of the class and team. Everybody is free to talk about their own feelings and thought,. We learned about fashion, habit, mode of different countries. We talked about arts, occupation, and family matters and discussed relationships in the hierarchy and to be a leader in life.

"This course helped me become more self confident."

Rubens Figueira, student from Brazil

My experience was very good, but it was very short. In the same time, I had a Congress, but I recommend the course and in the future I intend to return.

"Very good experience"

Rafal Mofeed Abd Al-Husein Al-Saag, student from Iraq

I liked the EC teachers very much they are helpful and kind, the location is very good and the facilities are excellent. I did not book for accommodation so I do not have much information about that and to be honest I did not participate in activities so I can not tell about them. but generally the place was very good

"The most interesting travel because London and its cosmopolitan people make you feel good."

Jose Moya, student from Peru

The classes were very good. I think EC has created a very creative system of classes. You can choose how many hours per day you can study, and also in what topics you need to improve. The teachers are very different, some are pretty good and some are a little bit boring. In my opinion the teacher who are more spontaneous, open minded and pro-active are better. The location is just nice. Very close to tube station and in a nice zone. Facilities and think are great. The activities were not so great, you need to improve and have more creative activities so the students feel more interest to go. The housing was good. I was in residence near Bethnal Green station, and I think it is pretty good, with a lot of freedom, which is amazing, but the only big problem is the cleanliness. It is a little bit dirty. Sometimes because of the students, but some other times because it needs someone who can clean better and more regularly.

"Wonderful!"

Moana Cavalcante, student from Brazil

My experience in London was wonderful! I was tested to develop my skill of language and this started in the airport. I wasn't informed of a need to show the copy of my letter of acceptance to the school and needed explain to immigration my situation. I'm a person of very much luck! My Londoner's mother was an Italian Mrs. that cooked very well and always talked with me about everything. But, I had to wash my clothing out, there wasn't bath towel available and the communication with my country was very difficult because there wasn't internet in the house. In school the immersion is full! English every time, everywhere! The teachers are very well trained but sometimes arid. And the partners were nice people I call with them until today!

"The school is fantastic."

Aneta Górska-Baran, student from Poland

I liked the school and the teachers were helpful and friendly. The school is fantastic. Probably I will go to school to EC but for longer. Housing was moderately satisfactory. The bathroom was cold water because something wasn't working. The food was average good. Hosts were helpful and nice.

"Opening new horizons"

Sarul Bembeeva, student from Russia

I always think about my learning experience in EC Brighton as a very pleasant and useful time to spend. The classes were always interesting and fun without boring routine. Teachers are the main treasure of this school, so professional and ready to help. The location was very nice after the lessons you can enjoy seaside, and it is close to the center of the city. Facilities and study processes were perfect. At the moment, activities could be more various and interesting. I stayed with a family and they were lovely people. The accommodations were very good. But, I am lucky, because my friends had awful experience and needed to move several times. And, I visited student residence and to my mind, they have to be more comfortable.

"السكن + الدورات المكثفة"

Almuthana A. Alfaouri, student from Jordan

ملاحظات السكن:
قمت بتغير السكن بعد مناقشات و مفاوضات مطولة لانني لم اكن راض عن مستوى السكن بالبداية (السكن مع العائلة)
اتمنى ان يتم اعطاء خيارات عدة للسكن يختار الطالب من خلالها قبل وصوله الى لندنز
ملاحظات تخص الدورات المكثفة.
الدورات ليست مكثفة بالقدر الكافيز كانت شكوى مني ومن العديد من الزملاء هناك ان الدورات المكثفة لم تكن مكثفة بالشكل الكافي.

"Organised"

Cindy Nasr, student from France

everything is pretty organized at school the teachers are very nice and patient there is a good atmosphere but concerning the residence i feel it very expensive and not comfortable, almost nothing for cooking and unfortunately i slept 1week without heating the managers of the residence are not very reactive and nobody was here to meet me at the residence the first day, but now it's ok, thank you for asking after my feedback your agency is very serious and i will really recommend you, if you need any other details do not hesitate.

see you

Cindy

A homestay in the UK may consist of an adult couple with or without children or a single adult. It is the ‘Family Atmosphere’ that is the most important factor. There may also be up to three other students in the family but they will speak a different native language from yourself. Housing very much varies here in London. You may be placed in a house (semi-detached/terrace and detached) or a bungalow or a flat/apartment.

Families in London are of many different nationalities and backgrounds, but the main language spoken in the house will be English.

All our host families are carefully selected and each inspected at least once a year.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from EC London. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 75 when you register.
