The Tutorial lesson, the teaching tradition of Oxford University, is one of the most effective methods of language learning: the entire course is conducted by means of individual tuition thus allowing the course to be adapted to the precise level and needs of each participant.

Maximum effort and concentration

Tutorial tuition ensures that:

• the tutor devotes 100% attention to the student
• teaching methods are adapted to the learning style of the student, and to the pace at which the student can successfully learn
• individual weaknesses and specific needs of the student are addressed
• the course content is tailored to the student’s study or career objectives
• inhibited or reserved students receive maximum talking practice
• no time is wasted covering points already known to the student or of no relevance.

The personal language audit

A language audit carried out by the Academic Manager and the tutors at the beginning of each course determines the precise level, needs and objectives of the participant. This forms the basis of the student’s personal learning programme.
