Language School


It is certain that the acquisition of a good standard of English brings rich rewards in terms of careers, education and personal development, and that the individual who masters these language skills enjoys a wealth of opportunity. A language course in England is the obvious choice for rapid improvement: where formal training in the classroom will be strengthened through conversation with a host family, contact with British people and total immersion into English culture.

It is for this reason that Thames Language & Culture Ltd has formed partnerships with a number of language schools and can offer a broad spectrum of courses for general and specific purposes to suit all levels, requirements and budgets. These range from business English classes for executives to the relaxed and enjoyable environment of a children's summer school.

In order to guarantee the highest standards of excellence, we are happy to be able to incorporate information about British Council recognised courses. These are held in Wimbledon/Roehampton: a safe and attractive part of London within easy reach of the city centre and with numerous social, sporting and shopping facilities in the area, as well as within the school grounds.

Tutors are fully qualified, and are recruited for their lively and friendly approach to teaching. Lessons are conducted in small international classes where students are encouraged to think in English from the first day and to speak as much as possible both inside and outside the classroom.

Host Family accommodation is provided on a half board basis, a short walk or bus ride from the school. Alternatively, residential, hotel, hostel or private accommodation can be arranged.

PACKAGE INCLUDES
· English tuition with fully qualified EFL teachers.
· All course materials and a course certificate.
· Registration fees.
· Half board family accommodation.
· Return airport transfers and 'Meet & Greet' service.
· Full head office assistance and administration including 24 hour back-up and visa support.
