We have several experienced exam teachers who are also Cambridge and IELTS examiners You can also study for the Cambridge BEC (Business English Certificate) alongside your exam course. We will give you regular homework (normally every day), regular exam practice and revision tests. You will have a tutorial at the start of your programme to look at your aims and set some realistic targets for your chosen exam. You will then have regular tutorials (every 4 weeks) with your teachers to look at your progress and give you advice on how to keep improving your English and focus on your weaknesses.
