If you only have a week or two to spare, this programme allows you to focus directly on your own language development:

1. Professional language in your chosen field (business, education, medicine, or travel, for example)
2. Academic language for students, undergraduates, and postgraduates
3. Personal language for confidence, examinations, travel, and leisure

The course path involves a number of critical stages supported by a tutor from our experienced team:

• Self-evaluation (your “needs and wants”)
• Diagnosis (analysis and targets)
• Monitoring (progress checks and updates)
• Self-study (preparation and follow-up tasks)
• Feedback (continuous learning ideas)

Personal training

A personal trainer, in all walks of life, motivates their student by setting goals and providing feedback. In the same way, your one-to-one tutors at St Clare’s will help you to make the maximum English language progress in the shortest possible time.
