General English
General English courses for adults are ideal for those who wish to improve their general level of English and become more fluent.
General English courses for adults are extremely popular. By following a General English group course of 20 or 30 lessons per week, you develop all your core language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) and improve your general level of English and understanding in all areas of language knowledge.
In addition, you will study and improve your grammar, expand your vocabulary around everyday topics and improve your pronunciation. By the end of your course you can expect to be a more confident and fluent user of English.
Students who wish to further improve their English can opt for the Long-Term General English course.

Our General English options
General English 20
Mornings 4 lessons
Afternoons no lessons
20 lessons per week, recommended for anyone who wants to improve their English in a class with students from all over the world at the same English level. This is a popular course with students who need to brush up their English in a short period (1 -3 weeks) or to really improve their English to higher levels at ESE for a long period (4 – 24 weeks) but with more free time.
General English 30
Mornings 4 lessons
Afternoons 2 lessons
30 lessons per week, recommended for anyone who wants or needs to dedicate more time to learning English. More lessons means faster progress in improving your English level. Morning lessons are similar to GE 20 lessons whilst afternoon lessons are more flexible and tend to be more conversational according to the students’ needs and requirements.
Intensive English
Mornings 4 lessons
Afternoons One-to-one lessons
30 lessons per week, recommended for anyone who wants to combine group lessons with one-to-one lessons. This course is very popular with students who want or need to improve their English in a shorter period of time (1 – 3 weeks). It is also popular with students who have a well defined learning goal and who need that personal attention and tuition by a professional teacher.
Another popular long term course is the Academic Year Course 30 which is 30 lessons per week, more intensive with more homework and projects and more counselling by our Director of Studies. This course is great value for money and is ideal for students who really want to improve their level of English for career or study purposes. Read more.
