 "I am very lucky to have Mrs. Peggy Gray as my teacher. She helped me a lot with my English reading, writing, typing and conversation. She gave me Montessori vocabluary to reach my goal. So she is the best teacher I ever had. I hope she will be my teacher again in the near future. Thank you."

The following are some of the basic principles of our methodology:
Focus on Communication
Our teaching methodology focuses on communication, emphasizing speaking and listening over other skill areas. Grammar, reading, and writing are also important, and we teach those skills through a practical and communicative approach without being boring or repetitive.
English-Only Policy
Our students and teachers speak only English during class. There is never any translation in the classroom and this helps students to think and speak in English. Students are required to think and communicate in English at all times.
Homework
Homework is an important aspect of all English Programs. Most written work will be completed at home and integrated into the lessons on the following day. Students can expect to do a few hours of homework a week, both reading, writing and reviewing topics covered in the class.
Assessment
There are on-going assessments of student progress throughout each level of the program. Modes of assessment vary from weekly quizzes and unit tests to regular standardized testing. The program measures student progress and provides feedback on students' successes and areas that might still need improvement.
The combination of a highly effective methodology and qualified, dedicated teachers means that whichever course you choose and at whichever level you begin your program, you are sure to improve as quickly as possible.
