We offer a personalised, practical approach to teaching with the chance to practise your language skills on the ground in one of the world’s most exciting capital cities.

Health & safety

We’ve been working hard to ensure the safety of our students and staff on campus. Here's what we're doing:  

  • Providing students and staff access to rapid COVID-19 tests, taken twice a week 
  • Hosting testing and induction sessions online, rather than in person 
  • Spreading classes across campus, using larger classrooms and staggering break times 
  • Increasing ventilation, making hand sanitiser widely available and regularly cleaning classrooms 
  • Encouraging students and staff to wear a mask and utilise a one-way traffic system
