TutorsGeneral – for students who want to brush up on or get support for general English skills (Tutors hold BA + TEFL)
Elite - for students who need high-level, more intense tutoring in specific subject areas. Tutees already hold university or advanced degrees and need the tutoring for advanced degree programs or for professional purposes (Tutors are drawn from Instructors)
Skill Intensive Workshops - A group of 2 to 5 students can request a workshop focused on a particular English skill (such as speaking, listening, reading, writing, or grammar). The students must apply, pay and register together. More students in a group reduces the cost per student.
