Ideal for those looking to strengthen their speaking, reading, writing and listening skills, these courses are led by experienced English instructors who focus on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary development. Their aim is to bring your English proficiency to a level where you can confidently engage in conversations on everyday topics such as current events, art, education and travel. For added value, these courses can also be combined with IELTS or TOEFL exam preparation.
IELTS and TOEFL are two of the most widely recognised English qualifications worldwide, making them an excellent way to demonstrate your language proficiency to universities, employers and other institutions. Preparation courses typically last a week or longer and are a crucial step for international students or professionals planning to study or work in English-speaking countries.
Courses that welcome both adults and children offer a wonderful way to combine a family holiday in England with English language learning. Lessons for children are designed to be fun and interactive, keeping them fully engaged, while adults benefit from proven teaching methods tailored to varying levels of proficiency.
Classes are held in small groups, organised by both language focus and proficiency level, ensuring an optimal learning environment. Courses are carefully structured for maximum effectiveness and can be enhanced with one-to-one sessions for targeted support.
Lessons take place Monday to Friday, in the morning, afternoon or evening, with weekends free. Most courses offer 15-20 hours of tuition per week, while more intensive options provide 25-30 hours.
For those with work or study commitments, Astra Education can arrange a private tutor to suit your schedule. This tailored approach, based on your language level and goals, is one of the most effective ways to learn, and can also be combined with group classes for added flexibility.
