Whatever the reason, we are confident that you will benefit from IELTS at Rose of York. We have specialised IELTS teachers who are able to draw on a wealth of knowledge and experience to ensure that you reach your potential. They will help you identify your weaknesses and build on your strengths to give you the best possible chance of obtaining the score you need.

Cambridge Exams FCE and CAEIf you want a General English qualification which is internationally recognised then we recommend our Cambridge exam courses.

You will learn study skills essential to surviving at university, such as giving a presentation or participating in an academic debate. You will also practise listening to lectures, note taking, and extended essay writing skills.

This is a course designed to meet the needs of the older student. If you want to travel, meet new people from around the world and experience English life and culture, we highly recommend this course. By combining a language course with excursions and social events, you get the best of both worlds. Social events are negotiated by the group but may include an excursion to Cambridge, afternoon tea, a boat trip down the Thames, or a visit to hampton court with its beautiful gardens and maze.

Classes take place in the mornings for 15 hours per week. We aim to build your confidence in speaking and listening by building systematically on what you already know. English spoken by native speakers often seems so quick that you might feel you’ll never understand it, but it’s surprising how just a few lessons can make all the difference.
