Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which level I am?

When you arrive at the school, you will take a written and oral placement test so we can decide which level you are and place you in the right class.

How fast will I progress?

Each student is different when it comes to learning English. Your progression really depends on your length of study and, most importantly, your commitment. All of our teachers are ready to give you all the advice, encouragement and assistance you need to develop your English skills as thoroughly as possible. Also, the school's computer facilities, library and frequent excursions can all help you to improve.

Can I visit my host family before I decide to stay with them?

In all cases, this is not possible and certainly not necessary. Our application form asks you to provide specific details of any accommodation requirements you have and we endeavour to find a host that matches these requirements. If you are not happy with your host family when you arrive, you must inform us straight away. If you want to leave your homestay, you must tell us two weeks in advance.

Can I choose my teacher?

All teachers rotate on a six week cycle. It is important you have a variety of teachers with different styles and teaching backgrounds to enhance your studies.

Can I change my level?

This will depend on your results in the weekly tests and your overall performance in class.  We will talk to your teachers to see if they think you can move.   If they think you are good enough, then you can move.
