About Enjoy Education |
Our school is private language school that caters for adults who want to learn English. We have set courses beginning with Beginner level and going all the way through to Business ++ level. Our students are mainly from the working world, particularly trade companies. As a private school it is quite expensive for the students to come here so we find that they are highly motivated and really hard working as the learning of English is a spring board for their future careers.
The students main study is computer based with a comprehensive software programme called Tell Me More. Here they learn and practice all aspects of English with the voice recognition programme. Once they have completed a private class on the computer they book a private class (PC) with a foreign teacher - this is where we test and their vocab and grammar from the computer lesson and discuss the topics that the computer throws up. There is a maximum of 4 students in this class.
There is also a salon class (S) and this is a discussion based class with a maximum of 8 students - the aim is to get the students talking and debating an issue through following the teaching material. The topics range from introductions at beginner level to China's entry into the WTO at a more advance level.
There are many other classes as well, such as Movie Appreciation - here we watch a DVD with the students and take them through genres, actors and discuss the movie. Also there is English Corner and a business writing class. All the teachers enjoying doing this as they have a free range. The teaching material is provided for the PC and S classes.

There is unlimited photocopying and a lot of teaching aids to help.
The aim at this school is teaching in a relaxed, fun environment. We create a friendly environment in which the students enjoy because it is not like a university with large classes. You really get to know the students well and there is a lot of job satisfaction when through your help a student gets a promotion or goes to work/study abroad.
