Private Instruction

Designed to accommodate students, private English classes at ICLS are customized to help our students achieve their unique academic, professional, or personal goals. Students can design their own schedule and study at their own pace. Students of our private English classes complete proficiency testing and a needs assessment to determine the focus of their course.

We help our students define their professional, academic, and/or personal goals by customizing private classes to meet individual learning requirements.  Private English classes are flexible because students can choose from many scheduling options. Through proficiency testing and needs assessment, we determine students’ language proficiency level, identifying and focusing on their areas for improvement.

Teachers work with students to target and address each student’s unique language weaknesses, such as pronunciation, fluency (confidence), accuracy (grammar). Private courses can include specific professions’ language needs such as business, hospitality, law, or medical English.

All private English classes can be scheduled on demand.

Private English classes can take place either on site at ICLS or on the Internet in a live virtual classroom. Click here for more information on the Distance Learning training option.
