Best ESOL Classes in Barnet

For major languages, you can take our online multiple choice language tests. For other languages, please contact us for an assessment. In any case, your trainer will provide a thorough initial assessment at the beginning of your course where you will agree on your goals and likely outcomes for the course based on your current level and the time you are able to put into the course. Complete Beginners do not need to take any initial tests.

Our teachers are native speakers and hold either a specific qualification in teaching their language as a foreign language (similar to the TEFL qualifications for English teachers) and/or hold a university degree in the language.

We find that our clients learn better and are more likely to achieve their language goals if they make a significant time (at least 20 or 30 hours) and financial commitment. They tend to take their course more seriously and are far less likely to drop out. For many people, it's like paying for an annual gym membership and having a personal trainer. Since they have paid upfront, they are more likely to go through with the training, even on those occasions when they might otherwise be distracted by another activity or feel that today they just simply cannot be bothered. It is also much easier to find a highly qualified and motivated trainer who is willing to take on a student if the trainer knows the student is committed to learning and is actually going to achieve something.

Generally no since it is very difficult to assess success in just one lesson. In special circumstances however, it may be possible to arrange: get in touch with us if you feel it is absolutely necessary for you or your company.

Except where a student specifically requests to have 2 or more trainers, we will do our utmost to ensure that you have the same trainer for the duration of your course. Naturally, trainers are people like everyone else and occasionally illness or a change in personal circumstances means that we need to replace a trainer in the middle of your course. We do however find that this happens extremely rarely.
