INSTRUCTIONAL FORMATS

TUTORING
One-on-one tutoring provides a student with the most customized instruction possible.  The instructor meets individually with the student, focusing on the specific needs of that student.  In this context, students have the undivided attention of their instructor, and the instructor can work on the issues of greatest need with their student.  Those requesting tutoring can arrange the instruction around their unique schedule.


SMALL GROUPS
Many embassies and corporations like to form a class made up of a small group of their employees.   Students can be grouped by language ability or by specific language skill that they all need to aquire.   For example, an embassy may have a group of staff members who need to write news releases or press briefings in English, so the instructor will focus on developing their writing skills.  Or a group of staff members in the military attache's office may need to attend Pentagon briefings, so the instructor will work on listening skills to prepare them for such lectures.  Class time is set to accommodate the whole group, before, during or after work hours.


TERM CLASSES
For those students who don't need tutoring, or who don't have a group of colleagues who want to study together, there are pre-scheduled classes for which students can register.  These classes normally run 8 - 16 weeks and are held at one of our two campuses.  These classes offer instruction in general English skills, including speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammar.  Click here to see the current schedule of classes being offered.
