Individually Tailored
If you already speak sufficient English to communicate easily, you will be encouraged to help plan your Course content on the first morning of your Course, once your learning needs have been identified. Your participation will ensure that you get the specific course content that you need for social, professional or academic purposes.
General English
For the highly motivated student who wishes to make rapid progress in the language needed for general, social, professional and academic communication.
Course content includes:
- Grammar, vocabulary development, idioms, colloquial English.
- Listening and reading comprehension, writing and conversational skills.
Business English
For the Business or Professional person who wishes to focus on language relevant to Business. Course content to be decided on your arrival will emphasise those areas of business most relevant to your professional needs.
Topics may include:
- Marketing
- Meetings
- Negotiating
- International Trade
Optimise Your Time
Whether you choose a less intensive Study-Vacation Course or one of the more demanding Intensive Courses, you will want optimum results.
In order to achieve this, all courses emphasise clear pronunciation, listening comprehension and correct grammar usage, reading, written English and conversational skills. These will be practised according to the needs of each student using materials of high interest value.
In addition to the One-to-One experience, the following Courses are also offered so that friends or colleagues with a similar level of English wishing to come together can take advantage of the:
One-to-Two
One-to-Three
One-to-Four
One-to-Five options
Please note that for groups of more than 3 students, I am unable to provide transport in my car.
Special Conditions
For the business person, or partner, who arrives at short notice in Bermuda on a business trip, it may be possible to arrange special classes if space is available.
Course Materials
Visually attractive and stimulating course books, audio cassettes and use of computer or video equipment.
Course Books
These are carefully chosen from a wide range of the most up-to-date and successful publications for English language learners. They are not only attractive to look at and clearly organised, but contain a variety of interesting and thought-provoking articles to stimulate discussion. Course books are not included in Tuition Fees.
Completion of your Course
A letter outlining the progress made by each student can be mailed to your home address on completion of your Course.
Where to Stay
You may find it useful to visit your local Travel Agent for a copy of `Bermuda: Where to Stay`, issued by the Bermuda Department of Tourism (www.bermudatourism.com) or www.bermudahotels.com for information on accommodation.
I strongly recommend that you arrange accommodation in the Central Parishes—Paget, Devonshire, Pembroke or Smith`s—(consult the map in the `Where to Stay` brochure), as I would then be able to collect you each morning or afternoon in time for your classes. If you choose accommodation farther away, it may be necessary for you to take a taxi or bus. Hiring a moped or scooter can also be a fun way to get around Bermuda.
Your Arrival in Bermuda
To ensure that your visit is as relaxing and enjoyable an experience as possible from the very beginning, I look forward to welcoming you at the airport and escorting you to your accommodation. In the event that this is not possible, other arrangements can be made.
