1. What are the new 6-week courses?

In short: They are a set of new group courses starting in January 2024 run by Nathan and Peter. The six weeks include 6 live group lessons as well as a detailed self-study program. We have integrated reading, writing, listening, and speaking practice in and out of class. Alongside this, we will be providing content to further your knowledge of English grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.

All the resources and exercises are graded to your level to make sure you are learning important English concepts, at the right time and in the right context. We will be on hand throughout to guide your learning and give our expert teacher feedback. We REALLY do think it’s the best way to level up your English online in 2024!

2. Who should sign up?

• Perhaps you’re feeling a bit stuck with English. You may sense your English progress is a bit slow.
• Perhaps you are aiming for quick improvement built on a strong foundation but you are unsure about creating an effective study plan.
• Perhaps you have specific goals in mind, such as enhancing your professional communication, taking those language exams, or simply becoming more confident in your day-to-day English conversations.

Whatever your personal situation, our 6-week Courses are here to turn uncertainties into opportunities. If you feel motivated to step up to the next level with English teacher guidance, then we recommend you book our courses now.

3. What level of English?

First, there’s the B1>B2 Intermediate course for those at the B1 level who want to move up to B2. This will have a focus on fundamentals such as past, present, future, perfect, and conditional tenses. Articles, prepositions, the passive voice, gerunds, infinitives, and so much more! If you feel you’ve already reached B2, but you feel you have forgotten a few things and need a bit more practice, you should also consider joining the B1>B2 Intermediate course. 

Then, there’s Upper Intermediate for those at B2 aiming for C1. We will explore the English language in greater nuance, as we seek to widen your range of comprehension and expression! We will be looking to answer the question: “What is that English speaker REALLY saying?”. If you feel you’re at a shaky C1 before and need to brush up on things, this level is a good fit.

Whether you’re going from B1 to B2 or B2 to C1, our January classes are here to help you. Pick the level that suits you and let’s improve your English together!

4. Tell me more about the course method. How does it work?

Think of our courses as a learning experience like university-style seminars. We’ve designed this to mirror academic sessions, offering you more freedom to think critically and creatively. As a result, you will be learning more effectively Each class targets different aspects of the skills and knowledge of the English language to give you a well-rounded understanding and exercise.

Here’s what you can expect from the 6 weeks of the course:

8. What materials and resources will we use?

We have based our program on the internationally renowned Oxford English File curriculum. This comprehensive curriculum serves as the backbone, providing a structured and proven framework for language learning. But we haven’t stopped there – we’ve gone the extra mile by meticulously adding our unique touch to Thinking in English Classes.

What sets our program apart is that we are offering you more than just language acquisition from a textbook. “Thinking in English” is designed to cultivate a mindset that goes beyond rote learning. We give you the support to internalize the language and think critically in English. It’s a learning experience that is not only effective but also intellectually stimulating.

9. Will I need to buy a textbook?

In short: no. We’ve got you covered, as even though we’ll be following the Oxford English File curriculum, you don’t have to worry about buying a textbook. If you prefer to study using a physical textbook, it’s a fantastic idea to enhance the course, but it’s entirely optional.

Why? Because we’ve got all the information you need for this course adapted for use through our Google Classroom! Annotated PDFs, Google Slides, Google Docs, wordlists, audio, and video are all available on demand for classes when you book with us.

10. How can I attend the Course?

All you need to do is visit our website to book your spot. The classes will run at the same time every week for six exciting weeks, and we’ll be meeting on Zoom. Worried about missing out on learning materials? Don’t be! Everything you need will be shared with you on Google Classroom.
