Our T3 English group is designed for teenagers continuing the B1 level of English (normally at 3-ESO, Third year of Secondary) but also open to younger or older students. At this stage, learners build on the foundation from B1.1 to achieve greater accuracy, fluency, and confidence in all skills. Completing the B1 level is a key step that allows students to understand and communicate more complex ideas, preparing them for the transition to B2.

In T3, lessons are interactive and practical, with a strong focus on communication and real-world language use. Students work on expanding their grammar, vocabulary, and ability to express themselves clearly in both spoken and written English.
