Example Courses_
âķIntensive SPEAKING or WRITING â specific, exam-based practice with corrections, feedback and resources to make your skills improve.
âķWRITING â guided writing in class and corrected assignment work. Classes on the words, grammar and formats that will help increase your exam score.
âķSPEAKING â exam simulations with correction, feedback and advice. Classes providing the vocabulary and structures you need to sound fluent and confident.
My classes are conversational. Using your English is the best way to improve it.
I will correct you immediately or with occasional feedback -- whichever suits your learning style.
I will set assignment work between classes if necessary.
Your advises about writing help me a lot!
I think when I have to think and talk about a specific topic, I would make mistakes easily. Maybe next time we can spend more time on my speaking!
Today we discussed our recent situations, talking about our lives and work, which provided many opportunities to speak in English. GILES helped me by speaking appropriate vocabulary and correcting grammar. It was a great time.
