Important things to consider before starting your course
-
- How long is each lesson?
- How long is the whole course?
- How many hours per week is the course?
- What qualifications and experience do the teachers have?
How long is each lesson?
We have a minimum session length of 1.5 hours (90 minutes) for all our courses. Longer, more intensive lessons are also available. To decide how many hours you can do per session you need to think about how much time (and money) you want to invest per week. If it is for employees, you may have to consider how long you can afford them to take time out of their working day. You should decide what fits best.
“90 minutes per lesson is the most popular”
As a general rule. Over 80% of our students and company clients do a single 1.5 hour session per student or group, once a week.
How long is the whole course?
Language learning is a long-term investment. Our experts recommend taking a course for no less than 6 months. With lessons at least once per week. The longer the better. We have had some students and corporate employees studying on weekly English lessons for several years.
“At least 6 months on one of our courses is recommended”
You and your employees can improve faster. A good rule is get into the habit of doing the same amount of work on your English outside of lessons as inside.
So if you or your employees have a 1.5 hour session per week. They need to be doing at least 1.5 hours self-study on their English every week to make improvements more quickly.
How many hours per week is the course?
The more often the better. However, you will need to decide how many lessons you can realistically do. Life gets in the way! Look at your time available, schedule, and budget. Most of our students and corporate clients go for a single 1.5 hour lesson per week for at least 6 months.
“1 lesson per week is our most popular course frequency”
What qualifications and experience do the teachers have?
All our teachers have a university degree, as well as the Cambridge CELTA English teaching qualification. As a minimum. We also select teachers based on their experience. Particularly teaching business English and in-company lessons. Our expert recruiters make experience and personability a top priority.
“Personality, qualifications and experience are top of our list when recruiting a new teacher”
Many of our teachers have years, and even decades worth of experience at the top of their profession.

“Learning English is a skill to be mastered. Like all skills it takes time. Go at whatever speed is comfortable. You will get there.”
