We deliver tailor-made package
programmes to groups of students
throughout the year, designing the
programme to adapt to the needs and
interests of each group.
Whether your group is looking for
specialised course content for academic,
cultural or professional purposes, we
work with you to understand your
requirements and objectives, and use
that understanding to design a highly
effective teaching programme. We
welcome groups from a variety of
backgrounds and professions; from
university students and business
executives, to nurses, pilots and
teachers.
Alongside the course content, we can
offer a bespoke calendar of cultural and
social activities, meal plans with specific
dietary requirements and assistance
with particular travel arrangements and
accommodation types, ensuring that
every aspect of your experience is
tailored to your needs and expectations.

SAMPLE TAILORED
GROUPS
In San Francisco we had a group for
which we customised a technology and
startup company experience. They took
a digital marketing module in the
morning and in the afternoon their
schedule included various Bay Area
and Silicon Valley events and tours.
They visited the offices of local
companies and attended a networking
event for Angel Investors. They also
visited the campuses of Google and
Facebook on a Silicon Valley tour.
We run tailored exam preparation
courses for Trinity GESE, Cambridge
CAE and IELTS preparation for closed
groups on short timeframes (2-4
weeks).
We also had groups of teachers from
Spain, Italy and China who had
morning refresher General English
classes and teaching methodology
afternoon classes.
We have organised a 2-week Harry
Potter themed course, with
international classes in the mornings
followed by Harry Potter-themed Blue
Badge guided walks in the afternoons.
The highlight of this trip was the visit to
Warner Brothers Studios and the
premiere of a new Harry Potter movie.
In addition, our London team
transformed the whole school into a
world of Harry Potter magic!
