In addition to, or instead of Group Courses

At BELS, we offer two types of individual lessons:

Individual: one-to-one
Semi-individual: two-to-one

During individual courses you can choose from a variety of academic programmes, which include general English, business English, exam preparation courses and English for specific purposes. All our individual courses involve an in-depth needs analysis on the first day, which enables us to design a unique, tailor-made programme for each of our students.

All of our individual courses are highly flexible in the methods of delivery, course content and duration. Together with your teacher, you will discuss your learning goals and preferred learning styles. Your teacher will then assess your English skills and plan a learning programme that will help you overcome your difficulties and develop your English further.

Common types of individual courses include:

General English

General English individual lessons allow students to concentrate on any of the four skills (reading, writing, listening & speaking) they feel they need to work on; using general topics ranging from everyday situations to current affairs.

Examination Preparation Classes

We offer examination preparation classes that prepare students for the following exams: Cambridge KET, PET, FCE and CAE, IELTS and TOEFL. We use up-to-date Cambridge and Oxford materials and involve various mock examinations in order to give our students plenty of opportunities to practise.

English for Academic Purposes

This academic programme is designed for individuals who are planning to do a university degree in an English-speaking country. The main objective is to develop learners’ receptive and productive skills that they will need in order to be able to attend university lectures, participate in seminars and discussions, do research and write various course papers.

English for Specific Professions (Law, Medicine, Finance, Aviation, etc)

Such specialised programmes are tailored to meet the needs of students who come from a particular professional background and who need to acquire specific English language terminology (professional jargon) that will enable them to apply their knowledge and experience in an English-speaking environment.
