Exam preparation
at The Marlow Language Centre
The past two years have not been easy for students. Disruption to school life and an extended period of online learning has undoubtedly presented challenges for many students but we’re continuing to work hard reassuring and building the confidence of future GCSE and A-level candidates.
We offer bespoke coaching courses (1-to-1 or in groups) for students preparing for GCSE or A-level foreign language examinations in various languages: French, German, Spanish, Italian and others.
Below you’ll find some useful info about the courses and options on offer.
You can choose between two options: 1-to-1 or group tuition in all languages. 
1-to-1
Our one-to-one GCSE and A level prep courses are very flexible.
You can decide when you want to start your course and choose the days and times of your classes within our teaching hours (Mon-Fri 7.30-20.00 & Sat 9.00-14.00). You can either book a regular slot on your preferred day and time on a weekly basis or if a regular class is difficult to fit into your schedule, you can schedule classes ad hoc whenever convenient for you. Classes are available face-to-face and online.
We create a tailor-made course to your specific requirements.
If you need to focus on a particular element of the exam, whether it be listening, speaking or writing, we’ll build your confidence in the relevant areas.
Our teachers make it fun!
We have a team of professional and friendly native teachers, all of whom have vast experience preparing students for GCSE and A level examinations. Their main objective is for their students to obtain the best possible grade whilst ensuring that the learning process is fun!
