After-School ESL

Starting from the Spring 2006 Semester, we have developed a new curriculum that will enable our students to establish a clear basis for their future English studies in parallel with their school program. This 12-week 36-hour course starting February 27, 2006 will give the students a broad understanding of English grammar and the usage of these language rules in various situations. At Prime Education, we use up-to-date material to enhance the student's ability to read, write and speak fluently. The classroom environment is supported with supplementary material that promotes learning throughout the class period.

Additionally, we make sure that the student has learned the necessary skill by testing them every week in the form of a quiz. At the end of the course, the student will have taken 12 quizzes and done numerous in-class activities. All through the semester, we will inform the parents of all the progress their child makes and also point out the areas where the student needs to work harder on.
