Hybrid English course Also offered as Hybrid delivery*
Our General English courses are our most popular option and will help you improve in all areas of the English Language: grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, pronunciation, reading and writing.

The minimum age for individuals is 16, but we occasionally accept 15-year-olds in General English international classes if they are part of a group with a group leader. We can accept 14-year-olds only in closed groups with a group leader.

Please note: Students aged under 18 are supervised in lessons and on class excursions only.

Our average class size is 12, with a maximum of 14 except in July and August when General English and Cambridge English Exam Preparation classes may have up to 16 students. Our 14 student limit may be exceeded by a maximum of 1 student for 1 week in exceptional circumstances.

*Hybrid online courses are suitable if you have to quarantine or self-isolate for up to 10-days here in the UK. You can join the school-based class after your quarantine period has ended.

Our General English language course allows you to improve all areas of your English language: grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, pronunciation, reading and writing. All our courses also integrate 21st Century Skills into their curriculum.
