Holiday intensives for adult learners and students of 17 years and older

(We also offer intensive English classes for teenagers from 14 to 17 years old.)

July and August, Carnival, and All Saints: make fast progress in English during these breaks.

Only 3 to 7 people: the number of participants in our language courses in Brussels is limited. We want you to speak, to interact and to ask questions so that you can apply what you learn in real-life situations.
A separate group per level: we organise 6 different groups for adults: one for each level. You take a level test when you register so that we can place you in the group that suits you best.
The number of weeks is up to you. During the All Saints and Carnival break, we offer two weeks, but during the summer months you can choose to progress for up to seven weeks in Brussels.

Adapted course material: every participant receives a syllabus with the course material of the week, allowing revision during or after your intensive English language course in Brussels.

Best language teachers!

Our trainers are native speakers with a long experience in teaching language courses.

Our professional collaborators are committed to make you progress fast in English.

Hiring the best teachers available is the most important job of our management:

A degree as a language teacher is a must.
The English language is always their mother tongue.
Relevant teaching experience is absolutely required.
They are constantly evaluated by staff and students.

Why 4 hours/day?

4 hours every morning gives the best result for an intensive language course in Brussels.

Do you wonder why we teach 4 hours per day in the morning. Why not 2, 3 or 6 hours?

Research proved that 4 hours per day is the optimal duration for intensive language lessons:

Fewer hours don’t facilitate fast progress.
More hours require a long lunch break.
Efficiency of full day training is lower per hour.
Free afternoons allow for revision and other obligations.

That is why not only students from the capital but also from Flanders and Wallonia choose our school to make fast progress.
