Adult Tutorials



Take our Tutorial Course to make the fastest possible progress. Individual programmes of 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 hours per week are available for clients requiring the most intensive programmes.

It is also possible to book one hour of individual tuition and extend your studies when you are in school.


Tutorial Course

One-to-one lessons offer students a programme which is designed precisely to their own unique requirements. In this way, you make the maximum possible progress because the teacher is able to focus on your needs and your personal learning style in every lesson.

Throughout the day, you can supplement your lessons with self-study in our quiet areas or self-access centre. This helps to consolidate the work done during lessons. Teachers set self-study exercises and give direction and guidance for students to maximise the consolidation time between lessons.

The course includes:

  • 15, 20, 25, 30 or 25 hours of individual tuition per week
  • Beginner to Advanced
  • Minimum age: 18 years

All timetables are samples and may be subject to change.

Courses start every Monday throughout the year. Students should arrive in Edinburgh on the Sunday.
