Students would be required to complete a set of tutorials during the one year following this placement, and it would also be followed up by requiring students to sit for monthly examinations to assess their ability to progress on to the YLE, KET, PET or FCE examinations conducted by the University of Cambridge. These examinations would consist of paper and mock examinations adapted from past papers issued by the University of Cambridge and the British Council. Students who fill up to the level of anticipated standard would qualify to face the examination and may proceed to the respective levels, while students, who are unable to reach the expected standard, will be guided to continue with a set of forty-eight tutorials without being permitted to sit for the exam until their suitable preparation for the next examination is developed.

Our Teachers

Having empowered a variety of students over the past decade, we have identified that our success stems from the perfect ‘fit’ between our teachers and the contemporary course delivery mechanisms they adopt within the classroom set-up.

Our staff members have undergone a one-year teacher training programme (TKT) conducted by the British Council, providing them with a thorough understanding of teaching methods and child psychology. As a result, our students benefit from high-standard classroom sessions that are carried out using the most apt method, for each programme.

Following a unique ‘activity-based’ teaching system, we have over 85 well-trained teachers who are not only knowledgeable about their subject matter but they are also passionate tutors who genuinely wish to impart their knowledge to the students. Our teachers undergo training themselves to thereafter teach the students on a daily basis. This unique focus on teacher training has enabled our teachers to successfully adhere to the activity-based teaching methodology, which has delivered results time and time again.

Furthermore, our teachers aim to simultaneously develop the four fundamental skills required to excel in the study of the English language. As such, we focus on enhancing the skills of reading, writing, listening, and speaking of our students, so that these skills develop concurrently.

Our core competency is the activity-based teaching method which sets us apart from the rest. Therefore, with a vision of opening new branches to cater to the rural communities of the Country, our strong focus on teaching will continue to help us carry out the holistic development of many more students, in the years to come.
