Native Level English Speaker (Ages 12-18)
Preparing for success.
Our Native Level English Speaker programme is designed for young learners (12-17 years old) who speak English at home – as a first or second language.
Together we will support your child to strengthen their language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) as well as their academic capabilities, including research, delivering presentations, writing creative narratives, or preparing for exams.
This programme is also a perfect supplement to the needs of children who may usually be studying in French; broadening their capabilities and capacity for learning by immersing them in an English-medium learning environment.
We also aim to maximise students’ potential for exam success by preparing them with new tools and techniques to tackle a wide range of questions. Young learners can put these skills into practice by taking an internationnally-recognised Cambridge English exam to certify their English language achievement and qualification.
