The IELTS examination is divided into four modules: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Our IELTS preparation course will cover each section accordingly, with our friendly qualified tutors conducting fun and interactive classes.

We will also provide mock examinations to help boost your confidence before the real thing.

In other words, they show the ability to use English with a high degree of flexibility.

Learning English in a group environment is a rewarding and fun experience, but for many, one-to-one tutorship can have a more positive and rapid effect on development. Our English-language tutors can provide one-to-one tutoring tailored to your specific needs; whether it’s to speed up learning, provide assistance with areas of development, or drive you towards completion of a goal, our one-to-one classes will prove ideal.

To ensure that the service we provide matches the needs of our students, we run a flexible timetable with morning, afternoon and evening classes.

Who should join a one-to-one course?
Our one-to-one classes are available for anyone looking to develop their English-language skills in a relaxed environment with the undivided attention of an experienced tutor. Whether for work or pleasure, education or fun, we will be able to get you headed towards the goal you’ve set for yourself.

What does the one-to-one study programme cover?
The contents of a one-to-one tutorial will be tailored specifically to your own requirements, whether it’s help in pronunciation, preparation for examinations, or even assistance in business English. In addition, all tutors at UKCE have the experience to help define objectives and plot a path to achievement.

Why should I enrol on a one-to-one course?
The decision of whether or not to attend one-to-one classes is yours alone to make. We will encourage and assist you with any needs you have, and support you in your English-language development. We even offer a flexible timetable to ensure that, should you need our assistance, we will be able to offer a time during which we can help.
