IELTS EXAM PREPARATION COURSE:
This course is to help prepare students for the kind of tasks they will have to take in the IELTS exam. The course will help you understand and prepare for the way IELTS is set out and help you learn the kind of language and structure you need for the exam, whether for the ACADEMIC IELTS or GENERAL TRAINING IELTS.
SPECIAL COURSES:
Pronunciation Course: Pronunciation is a complex physical process that requires separate and different teaching skills from language teaching. What each student needs to learn depends on their native language and must be tailored individually. At SB English Language Courses we are fully qualified in teaching pronunciation techniques and physicality.
How to Use Articles in English - Intensive Course to learn the rules for using 'the', 'a' 'an' or 'zero article'. Articles in English appear straightforward, but they are definitely NOT, and even our advanced students can have difficulty with the correct use of articles. This 5-lesson course with extra homework, quizzes, games, fill-in-the-blanks exercises, and many other materials, will help you learn when and how to use articles in English. And you'll have fun doing it!
OTHER SPECIAL COURSES, such as Academic English and English for Specific Purposes are also available. Please ask us for further details.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
The standard cancellation policy of 48 hours' notice applies to all lessons. We will try to accommodate one lesson per block of five being changed to a different date, but this will depend on the teacher's availability. Students are responsible for ensuring their own online connection.
Sheena Brabazon (MA) is a fully qualified English teacher with over 36 years of teaching experience who loves her job. She has several teaching qualifications and specialises in teaching Business English and Pronunciation. She trains young teachers in all aspects of teaching from grammar to lesson structure, in General English as well as in Business English and Academic English.
She has taught classes and courses at every level of English to all age groups and people from everywhere around the world, helping thousands of students pass exams, communicate better in a business environment, or simply improve their English because of their love of the language.
Having lived in several different countries, she now speaks fluent German, good Italian, can get by in French and Spanish, and frequently falls over her own tongue in Danish – so she understands the highs and lows of language learning from a student’s perspective as well as from a teacher’s. Sheena enjoys creating a friendly, relaxed atmosphere in her lessons and encourages students to ask questions. She also encourages them to laugh, because learning a language is fun.
Sheena occasionally calls in other teachers to help out with high demand. These teachers are all qualified, experienced and friendly.
