We created online courses using Moodle to set out the basis for application, making the application, getting ready for travel including visa applications and understanding cultural differences in living and learning in a Western Society. Help usually involved meeting once or twice a week over a period of a year which helped them not only with the content of course material but also in speaking English and building confidence with foreigners.

Passing the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test is a pre-requisite for a University place in the UK (and TOEFL in the USA) so we've created courses to aid students pass the tests with tips on learning practice, practice on-line and past exam papers. We use the latest teaching techniques to maximise learning skills with a combination of personal face to face tuition in a "classroom" type environment with self study using cognitive and flipped learning techniques outside the classroom.
