By specializing in rigorous English language coaching, we drive the ambitious learner to achieve. The learning day comprises small group lessons (maximum 1:4) and one-to-one tutoring, an interactive communication workshop for language activation, and preparation and consolidation periods to ensure the best use of lesson time.
Instructors use English in Boston’s long-established approach to coaching motivated adult learners, emphasizing Pitch (aiming the lesson high), Pace (keeping the pace lively and varied), Push (stretching the students to go beyond their comfort zone), Practice (making practice the center of every lesson), and Presentation (presenting the lesson clearly and professionally, with aims, vocabulary, and out-of-class assignment set out on the whiteboard).
Students’ efforts are supported by our experienced Director of Studies, a Self Access Study Center with internet facilities, a choice of accommodation, and a range of other services.
