We understand that people lead busy lives, often juggling full time jobs and families, so leaving them to study abroad for long periods of time is not practical. We also appreciate that there is still a need for them to improve their English with experienced, fully qualified teachers at a British Council accredited school.
Our Online Classes with Tutorbranch have been developed to allow people to do exactly that. Students can choose to study as little or as much as they want at a time and place convenient to them. They can choose a purely online course or a blended course combining online with attendance at a traditional course at LILA*. The online classes provide a real-life lesson experience for students.
There is an interactive whiteboard, document sharing, online messenger and video chat, to allow students to have a completely interactive lesson with a LILA* teacher in real-time.
The times are arranged according to your availability (Monday to Friday).

Leonardo Krug Padilha Brazil
studied General EnglishGood, but could be better.
The school is ok, you can meet people from all world, the structure is good but for me, they should pay more attention to their methodology because the majority of teachers don`t teach, they just read the book, I prefer an expositive class, I can read by myself. Sometimes I had a perception which I could teach those classes, is easy, you just need read the concepts in the book, do some exercises, talk with your partner and that's it.
The school doesn`t have an individual feedback, it`s important but ignored. There are some classes with a lot of students too, I had classes with twenty people, for example, with a great difference of age.
I don't write to complain about the school, maybe the problem is me, I should have researched better earlier and you should do it too. Which methodology do you prefer? I like to think while I'm learning not just read some concepts and repeat boring exercises.
You need to think about it before investing a high value.
The school is just ok for me, without differentials, in general, was a good experience, could be better for the price.

studied General EnglishReview
Every staff and teacher is friendly and smiling most of time but it does not mean that if you need something everything will be well on your way. So ı have never seen any problem from someone but when you look to school in general you can find something missing there. Anyways ı’ve met lots of nice people and really good teachers in this school. Thanks for everything
