General English

This course is perfect for learners who not only want to improve their English Language skills, but also want to experience everything that Jeffreys Bay has to offer. Each school day is divided into 3 lessons, beginning at 9am, and ending at 1pm - which leaves plenty of time to surf some waves and see the sights. We focus on the 4 skills of language; namely speaking, listening, writing and reading; and each day's lessons consist of both skills practice, and course-work. General English is perfect for all levels - from Beginners, to Advanced.

General English Focus

This specific course is more for the serious-minded student. Each day consists of 3 lessons in the morning, and another lesson in the afternoon. Besides all the usual language elements (speaking, listening, writing and reading), specific focus is drawn to 'life in general', making this course ideal for those who are embarking on a new career path; or distant travels; and would like to improve their english to benefit this journey. General English Focus is perfect for all levels - from Beginners, to Advanced.

Private Classes

(only 1 pupil per teacher, in a private class room)

These classes are wonderful for all levels, especially Beginners. The 3 lessons during a typical day, are planned around the one student and their specific needs, and therefore promote incredibly constructive lessons - making it possible to address each and every issue or query that arises in the classroom.

Travel Lessons
