General English courses

Welcome to The Marlow Language Centre! We offer General English courses for adults, either one-on-one or in groups. Our experienced teachers are friendly and dedicated to helping you improve your English skills.

Develop all the skills you need for successful everyday communication in English:

  • Reading, listening, speaking and writing skills
  • Pronunciation training and practice
  • Extend your vocabulary and improve your grammar
  • Regular homework and tests to make sure you don’t forget what you have learned

At The Marlow Language Centre, we believe that learning English should be enjoyable and stress-free. Our General English courses are designed to help you build confidence and improve your language skills in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Learning options available:
  • One-to-one non-intensive or One-to-one intensive: If you prefer a personalised approach, our one-to-one classes are perfect for you. These sessions are tailored to your individual needs and goals. Whether you want to focus on speaking, writing, listening, or prepare for an exam, our teachers will create a customised plan just for you.
  • Mini-group: For those who enjoy learning with others, our group classes provide a supportive environment where you can practice English with new friends. These classes are interactive and engaging, designed to make learning fun and effective.

How to book a course?

One-to-one

Booking a 1-to-1 EFL (English as a Foreign Language) course is simple. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Contact Us
    Reach out to us via any of the following methods: Email, Enquiry Form on our website, Phone or In person at our Centre.

  2. Provide Your Details
    When you contact us, please let us know your language learning background, whether you prefer face-to-face or online classes and when you’re available for classes. 

  3. Assessment Class
    Based on the information you provide, we’ll arrange an assessment class with one of our English teachers. During this session, the teacher will evaluate your proficiency level. It also gives you a chance to meet the teacher and get a feel for the language course. 

  4. Course Booking Options
    After your assessment class, you can choose to book a course starting from 6 hours or more (refer to the pricing table below for details). Volume discounts apply for courses between 12 and 100 hours. 

    THERE IS NO OBLIGATION TO BOOK A COURSE AFTER AN ASSESSMENT CLASS. 

Group courses

To book a group course, simply contact us via email, phone, the enquiry form on our website, or visit us in person at the Centre.

If you’re uncertain about your language level, you have two options:

  1. Free Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a language expert, which includes a complimentary level test.
  2. Assessment Class: Book a payable assessment class (£40) with a professional English teacher to ascertain your proficiency level

We’ll recommend the most suitable group class for you. You can then participate in a trial lesson. If you find the lesson enjoyable and the teacher confirms your level is appropriate, you may choose to enroll in the group course for the rest of the term.

Please note: You are under no obligation to book a group course after the trial lesson.
