Academia's online delivery difference

We have transitioned to online studies for all courses including during the coronavirus lockdown.

Our classes are delivered by an experienced teacher streaming the lesson online where students can ask questions, work on examples, share a whiteboard, join a virtual group to work together and so on. The online lesson is complemented by a wealth of digital learning resources students are offered an optimal environment to succeed in their studies.

This is very different to traditional online training where students study online independently with 1 or 2 hours per week of live teaching and support by their teacher.

Our students study in small online groups per 1 teacher with the lesson recorded for later playback.

Prospective students can join a free live class to see the quality of our tuition first hand.

Study English online

Our institute in Melbourne offers a range of different English courses for all sorts of purposes:

  1. Improving your day-to-day speaking
  2. Enrolling in an Australian university
  3. Applying for work or immigration

With traditional online training, students study online independently with 1 or 2 hours per week of live teaching and support by their teacher.

Our system is different.

Study English online with a system that replicates the in-class experience as much as possible. Instead of just doing worksheets, you’ll be able to talk to your instructor, complete examples in real-time, practice speaking with other students and more!

With small classes headed by experienced teachers, we’re able to offer you a level of one-on-one attention and care you won’t find anywhere else.
