Course description

A one-to-one language course is undoubtedly one of the most effective way to learn a language, but is also the most expensive type of language course. You will have the option to choose your schedule as well as the intensity and topic of your classes. The greatest advantage to one-to-one language courses is that you will be in constant communication with your teacher who will correct your errors and give you direct feedback; one-to-one courses can therefore improve your language skills much faster than studying in a group. Our private lessons run for 45 minutes.

"Really kind teachers and really fine multicultural atmosphere"

Sandrine mallet, student from Réunion

the school is completely central in Cape town, I really liked the location to enjoy the city

the class was very good, we were only 8 students in my class and it's comfortable to speak more. I didn't accommodate in the school so I can't give my opinion

"It's a great experience."

Nasser Ali N Besheah, student from Saudi Arabia

The school is very wonderful, the teachers are good and the housing with the family is bad because the family is not interacting with me. I want a family who speak to me to learn English and thank you.

"I really enjoyed the time with LTC in Cape Town. The teachers are very nice and interested in to lern a lot English with you."

Irina Pfeiffer, student from Germany

I personally had a small class with very nice students. I learnd a lot of English in a short time and the conversation lesson in the afternoon gave me more confindence to speak English. The location of the school is a hot spot in Cape Town as well, very nice to be in this area. Over the breaks you can go upstairs to the 15th floor and you can have such a nice view. All facilities are given. Perfekt to stay. You also have a lot of activities in the school which you can make with your teachers. In total I just can reccomend the school.

All the teachers and the persons who belong to LTC are very kind and very very helpful. I felt always good there and they took care of me all the time. Many thanks for that !!

"Quality of the facilities, classes and the staff."

Gustavo Barcelos, student from Brazil

Studying at Language Teaching Centre Cape Town has been a great experience.

First of all, I really liked the location of the school that is in the city center and very accessible and close to places to eat. Also, I liked the facilities, teachers and all the staff. With regards to the classes I really like the TOEFL classes, specially, because it was a private class and the teacher was very good. Also, I really enjoyed the conversation classes, especially when we talked about different cultures and when we talk about African culture. I could see that all the students really liked this subject. However, I did not like the business class. For me the business class was something that I could skip, because it was not so interesting as cultural classes.

Another important topic is the interaction among the students and the multicultural environment.

In general, I can rate LTC as a very good English school and I recommend it.

"Very nice place to stay and learn!"

Garcia Joao Domingos, student from Angola

First of all, I liked the teachers very much, they were so kind, humble and funny. I mean, they could teach difficult things in a simple way. They were wonderful! About my home stay, it was a magnificent home where I'd like to stay again. So, I really liked the city in Cape Town and I'll be back soon! It was a wonderful place to take vacation!

"Great two weeks"

Small, perfect class, friendly and good teachers and perfect school location in town. Wi-fi could be better in the classrooms, though.

"It was really a lovely journey with a lot of experiences which I will never forget."

Nina Brökers

I really enjoyed the language school at Cape Town.
At school there was always a very comfortable feeling and support each time.
The class itself was a good mix of grammar, new vocabulary and free discussions. For me personally a quite good package.
The trips on Fridays always made a lot of fun and we had the possibility to see a lot of landscape and culture. Further on during this trip we were able to meet the students from the other classes.
During this time I met a lot of nice people from different countries and with some of them I still have a good contact.
For example this year during the summer I met a girlfriend in Switzerland.
All the time at Africa I never had to be alone as I already met at the first day a lot of nice and friendly people.
Additionally the offers for free time at Cape Town and near region were quite amazing so that there are opportunities for everyone.
I´d used to enjoy a lot and to visit a lot of places. The most awesome memory was to see a whale mother with her kids on which I could follow on from the beach.
The offer to charter a horse near Cape Town was something I used more often to ride on the long white beach through the near water.
Further on I visited or enjoyed
-Cape of Good hope
- Table Mountain
- picnic on Lions Hill
- a lot of time at the beach
The accommodation at the host family is absolutely recommendable as the mother and the rest of the family always were very friendly and always helped me with all questions I had.
The cooking was fantastic and each day I got a good meal and breakfast.
I was integrated in the family circle and felt very comfortable.
Thanks a lot again to Asma!!

"What is the price for the private lessons? Is the schedule flexible?"

samer walled, student from Saudi Arabia
Leonardo Reis, Global ESL Academy school representative

We can only accept him if he books private lessons. It is not
possible to put him in a group (most of the students are 20 years and
older in the group courses).

Please find below the information:
Private lessons: Minimum of 10 lessons to be booked and paid upfront. It can be booked according to the boys schedule. We
would however need to agree on a schedule for the first 2 weeks that we can coordinate our timetable.
