One-to-one lessons are perhaps the fastest way to improve, as we can tailor our teaching to your individual needs and learning style. Students typically choose to follow a course which combines topic-based learning with every- day English. During the lessons, priority is given to speaking and listening activities, with particular attention paid to language patterns and vocabulary. In order to reinforce the work done in class, supplementary reading and writing exercises are set as homework.
Shared Classes
These classes can be shared with friends and family members if all the students have a similar level of English. The cost of the class can be divided by the total number of students in the class.
How often should I have English lessons?
In order to improve your English, you need to try to use it every day. If you are motivated to study by yourself or have a job where you can speak English, it may only be necessary to have a lesson for one or two hours a week. If, on the other hand, you don't have many chances to speak English during the week or find it hard to learn by yourself, we would recommend having more lessons.

Durham School of English was recommended to me by my university supervisor. Whilst studying at the masters level in a teacher training course (PGCE), I needed my advanced English skills to be brought onto a higher level. As a teacher myself, I appreciate the complexity of the task in this case. I had four hours per week, two one to one lessons, for two months. My teacher went through my written work and listened to me speaking. He identified common mistakes and guided me through better practices. My supervisors were happy with the improvements in my writing style. I feel much more confident using English in a fast paced classroom, where, as a teacher, I must demonstrate impeccable use of language. I do not hesitate in recommending Durham School of English to anyone who would like to improve their academic writing and speaking.
