16 English General Courses for adults in Eastbourne

The goal of this part-time course is to improve your key English skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening, and improve your confidence when using English outside the classroom.

Our part-time English course is great if you need to study around your work timetable and the flexibility of lessons means that even shift workers will be able to find a class to suit them. If you are keen to improve your skills but can’t commit to full-time study, then part-time English could be the course for you.

It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times. It completely immerses you in the language you are learning as you put into practice what you have learnt during your lessons through social interactions and meal times with your host.

The Home Tuition Programme includes: • 15 hours private language lessons per week • Accommodation in your teacher’s home • Meals and social interaction with your host

Choose the number of language lessons you require and personalise your Programme according to your needs, interests and preferences with a multitude of options and specialisations to choose from. Some things cannot be learnt by studying in the traditional way, fluency is achieved through living the language, using the target language constantly and in your everyday life. Culture, entertainment, leisure and current events are embedded in people’s language and these are as much part of the language learning process as the lessons.
