Description
We really believe in the advantage of studying in small groups. Unlike
many institutions which advertise “small” groups, our groups really are small!
We have as few as 3 students in some cases and our average group size is 6 (and
maximum 9). In a small group, students get more attention and our teachers can
be more responsive to their needs. As a student, you have more opportunity to
talk and interact with the teacher and your classmates. Observes ESL Teacher
Randy, “it is easier for students to gain confidence in using the language when
they don’t have to speak in front of a large group”. Moreover, everyone “gets
to know each other well and becomes very comfortable expressing their ideas in
English.”
