Ahead With
English opened in Therwil in 2005. We offer a varied program of
English classes for children aged 3 -13, ranging from a pre-school
program through to classes for children in middle school. At
present, over 175 children attend classes at Ahead With English.
Our students represent over 20 nationalities helping us to offer a
rich and vibrant environment where English is spoken at all
times.
Our educational
goals
We aim to
develop the skills needed to use the English language correctly and
competently.
Our courses
range from "hands on" activities for the early years to advanced
units of work requiring fluent reading and accurate writing ability
in the older classes.
Our
structured program enables both native and non-native English
speakers to become confident in their use and understanding of
English.
We also offer
private lessons for children on request.

English
for English Speakers
Our English for
English Speakers classes are for children ages 5+ who attend
local schools (starting from the first year of kindergarten)
and speak English at home with at least one parent. They are
also appropriate for children who have gone to school in an
English-speaking environment. Classes meet 1 time per week on
Tuesday or Wedensday afternoon for 1, 1.5 or 2
hours.
We teach fundamental
skills for fluent and effective communication such as
confident speaking, reading for understanding, spelling,
grammar, punctuation and writing with a
purpose.
To promote confidence
and accuracy in reading, we employ a reading assistant who
reads one-on-one with our younger children. She sends the
children home with a new reading book every week so they can
practice reading different books at home with their
parents.
Please call us to schedule a
visit for your child.
English
for Speakers of Other Languages
(ESOL)
Our ESOL classes are
for children ages 5+ who want to learn English or who are
already learning English and want to improve. Classes meet 1
time per week for 1 hour.
We use imaginative
and child-centered methods that focus on the four basic
language skills: speaking, listening, reading and
writing.
We are an approved testing
center for the Cambridge Young
Learners Exams and prepare some children to take
the exams. Taking a Cambridge Young Learners Exam is optional at
Ahead With English. For more information about the Cambridge Young
Learners Exams, visit: http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/yle.htm.
