One-to-One tuition is the ultimate course for making maximum progress during a short period of time. This is an intensive course which is 100% focused on your English language needs and designed by your teachers to meet your requirements.
One-to-One is the most flexible and personal course available.You'll get more out of this course if:
- You wish to improve your level significantly in a short time.
- You want to have targeted learning in areas of weakness or areas where you are lacking confidence.
- You feel you would benefit from uninterrupted teacher attention.
- You want to build a one on one relationship with an experienced teacher.
You can combine One-to-One tuition with a group course. This gives you the advantage of the interaction of a group in the morning and individually tailored tuition in the afternoon. This is a great way of accelerating your progress.
Maximum flexibility
Feel free to go 'off topic'. A one-to-one lesson is designed for you, by you. Set your own goals for the lesson and one of our friendly English teachers will help you reach them. The flexibility of our teachers allows you to choose the English that you want to learn.
Individual focus
A private English lesson means personalised attention to you - you will receive your teachers undivided attention, receive guidance and feedback that is specific to you and your goals.
Tailored to your needs
Spending so much direct time in contact with your teacher means that he/she will know exactly which areas of your English you need to improve. Working together you will reach your English goal. That's the benefit of such a high level of personalised attention.
Please note that the first day is mainly focused on pre-test and orientation. This is the timetable of the student:
08:30 - Student arrival and check-in
09:00 - Placement test and interviews
11:00 - Welcome breakfast and orientation with various EC staff members
12:00 - Welcome tour of school neighbourhood
Students taking courses with 20 or 24 lessons per week will not have class on the first day due to orientation, while those taking courses with 30 lessons per week will have two classes in the afternoon on the first day after orientation.
Students learn through context and real situations that help them to learn in a natural way. Teachers supply new topics daily, and utilize textbooks, authentic materials and resources, including newspapers, videos and the internet, to show and teach English in an everyday context.

I'm very disappointed by the activities, that have been very boring, uninteresting and ripetitive, in 2 months I had just 1 trip(to London), i was expecting much more.
As for the rest, it has been a pleasure to live this experience.
There are very good teachers, and the classes are interesting, useful and flexible to needs. The location is very good. It is easy to go there by walking from the accommodation. The facilities and activities are attractive and interesting, and were well-organized.
The staff is very kind, friendly, and helped in everything.
The weakest point for me was the accommodation. It got noisy at night.
The school is very good. The teachers are friendly and very good.
Moreover, the activities in the school and during your trip are quite interesting!
The school is next to the center of Bristol, and the places next to it are wonderful!

Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.
If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.
