Below is a link to an article that refers to some of the things that are at the core of our academic strategy at ELA. Students are regarded as a complex mixture of content knowledge/skills and psychological, emotional, and cultural factors. They are constantly encouraged to get involved and think about their own learning. While the end result is particularly important in the context of an exam preparation class, we also focus on the learning journey, and helping student develop skills to cope with the various challenges that they may come across when leaving and studying in an English speaking country.

Short tutorials are used to boost motivation and resilience.
