English Classes
Our English classes are designed to give every child the confidence to succeed. Lessons are taught in small groups by qualified British teachers, with the support of native English-speaking assistants. Students are carefully placed with peers at a similar level to ensure lessons are engaging, relevant, and effective.
Our approach combines fun, creative activities with real results. Each child follows a personalised curriculum, receives home-learning activities after every lesson, and benefits from individual progress reports twice a year. With state-of-the-art classrooms and a warm, supportive atmosphere, we help children build strong foundations in English while developing a love for learning.
Homework activity by Naomi (8 years old).
The activity followed a word classes lesson. The homework was to write a description about someone and include proper nouns, common nouns, adjectives and similes. Well done Naomi!
Small Group English Courses
At The ETC, we offer a diverse range of small-group English classes for children ages 3–18. Each class has a maximum of 8 students, ensuring personalised attention and a supportive learning environment. Great care is taken to place every child in the right group, based on their level of English and personal interests.
Before joining a course, children are invited to visit the ETC to meet our lead teacher Rachel and experience the classroom environment. During this visit, they take part in English activities which allow Rachel to assess their speaking, reading and writing levels in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
By thoughtfully placing students with peers at a similar level, we create a warm and motivating environment where children not only learn but also grow in confidence, developing strong foundations in speaking, reading, and writing.
At the ETC, we offer personalised one-on-one classes tailored to meet each student's unique needs and goals. Private sessions allow us to address specific areas of improvement and accelerate learning. We support students at their own unique pace, planning around their learning goals. Private lessons take place at the ETC or in the comfort of the student’s home.
Private Classes
Supporting International Moves
We provide tailored lessons if you're a native English speaker and want your child to keep up with their peers back home, or if you are planning on moving abroad and want to prepare your child. Lessons can follow the British, American, or Australian curricula. This approach provides continuity and support, ensuring a smooth transition between countries.
Selective School Entrance Exams
Rachel offers private tutoring in English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning for selective school entrance exams to ensure children are fully prepared. Rachel has successfully tutored children for places in highly competitive schools. Students have achieved places in top international schools, such as Dulwich College and Kings’ School.
