Learning a language takes time but with the world as it is now, almost everyone now realizes that one of the keys to a successful future is a working understanding of English. It is an investment in your future that may take time but that will give you something that you cannot buy!
Many of our students start learning English at a young age – by the time they finish high-school their English will come so naturally that they don’t even have to think about it!
Method
We use a communicative, integrated skills based approach.
Integrated skills means that we practice all the major skills – speaking, reading, writing, listening.
Communicative means that we practice language not as a “subject” to be studied and understood in theory only but instead as a tool that we can use to communicate in a wide range of situations.
Your teacher will help you discover the language by asking you to think about a situation and how to communicate in that situation. Sometimes it might seem like the teacher is not “teaching” you – what the teacher is doing is even better, they are helping you to teach yourself!
This means that we expect you to use only English in class no matter what your level – this seems difficult at first but don’t worry, you will get used to it very quickly if you try your best.
In our classes the students will do most of the talking - not the Teacher. This makes sense if you think about it - our teachers have great English, they don’t need to practice.
As speaking is the most common form of communication in our daily lives, you will find that a lot of speaking is practiced in class.

These activities will help you to talk about yourself, your experiences and your opinions about things happening in your world.
Teachers
We employ only qualified and experienced native speaker and Indonesian teachers. Our teachers are experts in getting you to communicate.
