We will formulate a tailored customised programme for each mini-stay group which will include online activities where applicable

Each class is based upon effective communication and comprehensive work on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation. As well as improving listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Throughout the programme the CEC tutor will monitor progression and adjust the programme to reflect this and best deliver on student’s time & efforts.
