Our T1 English group (1-ESO, First of Secondary and above) is designed for teenagers who need to consolidate the A2 level of English before progressing to higher levels. This course is ideal for students in their first year of secondary school, as well as older teens who want to strengthen their foundation in English. At this stage, students will work on improving accuracy and fluency, building vocabulary for a wider range of topics, and developing confidence in all four skills, while learning through engaging and age-appropriate activities.

T1 also marks the transition to three hours of English per week, allowing for more practice and deeper learning in class.
