The teaching programme is based entirely on individual lessons. This means that the tutor’s attention is focused on one student, and allows for a perfect match between lesson content and the learning requirements of the student.

The Tutorial also enables teaching methods to be adapted to the learning style of and pace at which the student can successfully learn. Tutorial tuition thus ensures that maximum progress is made in a short period of time.

Lessons take place in small groups of a maximum of 4 students per teacher. The Quatorial provides high levels of individual attention within a small, dynamic learning unit.

The low number of students means that the tutor is able to address fully the linguistic needs and objectives of each participant.

The lessons are given in small groups of a maximum of 8 students. This structure allows the teacher to monitor the work and progress of each student within the dynamics of a group learning environment.

In addition to Quatorial and Tutorial lessons, some courses include a daily teacher-led Seminar session. These usually take place in groups of 8–12 students of different levels (reflecting reality) and are designed to promote active expression in the language. They focus on a variety of aspects of the language and include, for example, pronunciation, presentations, lectures and debates.

The teacher, in charge of a maximum of a dozen students, sets learning projects which he/she monitors on a one-to-one basis for five to ten minutes at a time. The teacher thus acts as a catalyst for individual study.

A 15 minute session every morning in which selected students present to the rest of the group an analysis of the previous day's news for a brief group discussion. This serves as a warm-up exercise and is held at the very beginning of every day.
