In a group class, you can save money and have classmates to practice with outside of class. However, in one-on-one classes, the teacher focuses solely on you, the lessons go at your own pace, and the course plan is tailored specifically to your needs.

As long as you can commit to the same time every week, you can take as many classes as you like.

Each lesson lasts for 50 minutes, but there is often an extra activity available in case some students finish quickly.  These activities are optional, but Rhys is happy to provide answers or check your work if you want to complete them.

Before each lesson, you will receive a PDF worksheet which you will use during the lesson.  After the lesson, you will be sent the answers to the worksheet so you can check your work.  Additionally, if there are any audio or video materials used in the lesson, you will also receive the transcript.

The course plan is made just for you, but here are some things you might learn:

-New words about different things like introducing yourself, family, numbers, jobs, and things you like to do.

-The basics of how to use adverbs, present tense, object pronouns, and basic verbs.

The course plan is tailored to your needs, wants, and interests, but here are some example of skills you’ll do.

Although the course plan is tailored to meet your specific needs, you will likely spend a lot of time on five important topics that are frequently tested in the IELTS exam. These areas are education, society, leisure, language and communication, and travel.

For example, you may work on improving your reading comprehension by reading about studying abroad, you might enhance your listening skills by listening to lectures on sustainable housing, or you could practice your speaking abilities by discussing topics like underwater sports.

The course plan is customised to meet your specific needs, but it will likely involve more complex subject matters that frequently appear in the IELTS exam.

For instance, you could enhance your speaking and listening skills by discussing the topic of recycling, you could refine your writing ability with the topic of tofu, or you might enhance your writing proficiency by exploring the concept of universal basic income.

If your child is ready to put in effort and enjoy themselves, they’ll quickly improve their speaking, listening, and reading skills, understand key sentence structures, and become familiar with important grammar points.

Each class is taught by Rhys himself.  He is a friendly and funny teacher who cares about his students’ learning and wants them to feel comfortable and relaxed during class.

Students as young as five have joined Kid’s Club, and they usually move onto English for Life (same price) at around eleven or twelve years old.

However, this depends more on your child’s ability and maturity than their age.  If you have a four year old who can sit still for 50 minutes, they are welcome.  If you have a very advanced eight year old, they could move onto English for Life.
