Our examination team provide you with a comprehensive preparation for the TOEFL examinations. The lessons are structured to focus on all aspects of the exam using the latest exam course book. You can expect to be given comprehensive practice of past papers and a thorough education in exam techniques.
It should be noted that there is an expectation that you will have a certain degree of homework in order to prepare fully for the exams.
Exams can be booked and paid for through the school and then taken at local exam centres.
The morning lessons are designed around a course book and provides the opportunity for students to improve the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as enhancing and increasing their active / working vocabulary and grammar knowledge. By the end of their stay the students can expect to have improved not only their communicative competence, through their study of ‘survival’ English and ‘everyday’ English but will have also achieved a new level of learner autonomy and confidence.
In the afternoon the students study exam techniques and exam preparation on a course specifically designed to suit their individual needs.
