Melton College

[Tuition] Melton College welcomes students throughout the year. Our programme includes a balance of grammar, speaking, reading, listening and writing. Every student is assigned a personal tutor to monitor progress and to offer encouragement and advice. These tutorials are included in the fees but we do not count them as tuition time! [General English A: Half-day programme] The course offers 15 hours’ tuition per week. Half-day students are very much part of College life and can join all the activities on the social programme, as well as the excursions. [General English B: Full-day programme] Students receive 22.5 hours’ tuition each week, in addition to the morning tuition, a carefully structured afternoon programme includes extra reading and listening practice, linked to some of the famous sites in the City; literature and extra speaking skills, including student-led presentations. Study skills are included to help you make the most of your course. Like all Melton College courses, the tuition times are teaching time and do not include breaks, tutorials or self-study. [Guided E-learning] All General English Course students can use the Melton College Guided e-learning system. This virtual environment helps students plan their studies, contact other students and participate in the College’s social life. Students continue to have access to the system for 3 months after their departure.

Key Points · 18 + hours of tuition · Maximum class size 14 · Minimum age 14 (11 on 31st July for 2 or 3 weeks only) · Start dates every two weeks · full activity programme · Full-day excursion every Saturday · Accompanied Airport transfers included for under 18s For two weeks or for the whole summer, we offer a serious but enjoyable mixture of English, activities, excursions, visits and culture! You will be taught by a small team of enthusiastic teachers, committed to helping you get the most from your time with us. Our students can enjoy the space which comes with being in a residential part of the City, just outside the lively, crowded shopping area! Whether relaxing in our garden or conservatories, studying in our classrooms or resource rooms, our Summer Course will offer you a memorable time in York. The Summer Course offers 25 lessons of 45 minutes per week. This figure does not include the activity programme, guided self-study, excursions, visits or evening events. [Accommodation] We take great care when selecting families and always try to help with special requests. We place great emphasis on welfare. Younger students have to follow the College curfew regulations and we are happy to set earlier times if parents wish. [Younger students on the Summer Course] We take our younger students seriously and we expect our younger students to take the course seriously. Younger students enjoy all the facilities of the College and, of course, the teaching is of the same high standard for all our students! The low minimum age allows students to enjoy a serious summer course. The course does not suit everyone and some younger students might be more comfortable on an activity course or a children’s course. Students under the age of 18 at the start of their course are automatically on full-board and will get a bus pass. [Accompanied Transfer Service] All courses start on a Sunday. For students under the age of 18 at the start of their course, we include a free transfer service. Students are met at Manchester and Leeds Airports and escorted to York. The courses end on a Sunday. We take the students back to the airport, help them with check-in and make sure they go through security in time to catch their plane. Older students can opt to join the transfer service for a small additional charge. [Activities] After lessons, students can follow the free cultural programme; talks on literature and British life and culture, some given by guest speakers. For those who want something less serious, we also offer a range of afternoon ‘after-lesson’ activities. On two evenings each week we arrange activities either in the College or in the City.
