Academic English, IELTS and TOEFL in London

We offer either IELTS or TOEFL preparation of 20 lessons per week. Our Intensive 25 lessons per week course combines IELTS or TOEFL preparation with our very popular Academic English module. The examinations take place in special examination centres in the London area.

Academic English
This enables you to gain the language skills needed for academic study, including summarising lectures, note-taking skills, debating techniques, carrying out research and presenting data.

IELTS Preparation
The IELTS module provides thorough preparation for the examination: essay writing, fluent and accurate speaking, describing and interpreting graphs and charts, and practice in the receptive skills of reading and listening. You can take the examination in the week following the end of your course. You must register for the examination in the school reception office on the first day of your course.

TOEFL Preparation
A high score in the TOEFL examination is essential for entry to an American university. You learn specific strategies for the American examination with an emphasis on enriching vocabulary and listening skills. During the course you will have practice examinations with feedback from your teacher. Lessons give background information on American culture and the differences between British and American English are explored. We help you to register for the TOEFL Examination on the first day of the course, but places are subject to availability and we advise earlier booking.

You can register and pay for the examination 8 weeks in advance by telephone to the TOEFL Europe office in Holland: + 31 320 239 540, or by Internet at www.ets.org/toefl. Payment is by credit card.
