There are 27 lessons per course, each lesson lasting 1.5 hours. Some courses run three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays), and others run twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays).

All the courses are based on a carefully selected course book. However, as our philosophy is to teach the tools of grammar through communication, every course is heavily supplemented with additional communication activities, games and ideas to give students the opportunity to use the language in class in a positive and relaxed atmosphere.

During the courses, all the language skills; reading, listening, speaking, and writing are taught; although, we place most emphasis on speaking and listening. Writing tasks are usually given for homework, with the student receiving individual feedback from the teacher.

At the end of the course, students take an exam based on the areas covered during the course. Upon successful completion of the exam, the student is presented with a certificate and can progress to the next level.

Price for one 40-hour General English Course (maximum 11 students): 145 Lats (VAT not included).
