E-Pals

E-Pals is a new bespoke writing programme which connects students around the world with our native speaking English or French teachers.

E-Pals is suitable for all ages and levels of ability. It is a programme that can meet all requirements and so is perfect for everybody: students, adult learners and businessmen/women, from all over the world. You choose how long you want the course for and/or how many emails per week (with a maximum of one email being sent out per day - incluidng weekends - for all options).

All of our teachers are focused on helping you achieve your goals.

Schools/Individual Students :

Your school can use our bespoke E-Pal programme in a number of ways: book teachers for six weeks or less, perhaps for exam preparation, or for a longer period of time to provide your students with a learning format that is fun, stress-free and accessible from their school email addresses only. Your students will have a suitably-qualified personal teacher who has been cleared by the relevant CRB authorities in France and Government-CRB cleared in the UK. They will therefore have the chance to build their confidence in the language and/or receive exam support, as desired or required. Communication would occur through school email addresses only.

You will receive a link to your personal area of our website. If, after correction by your teacher, any mistakes are repeatedly made in your grammar or construction, there will be optional comprehension and/or learning activities or explanations with examples on your area of our website.

For English, schools or individual students can specify if they would prefer British or American English teachers.

Adult Learners:

This programme is suitable for all levels of ability.

If you wish to learn French or English but are put off by the idea of studying or going back to school, our bespoke E-Pal courses are the perfect solution! Suitable for beginners, you will have a native speaking teacher who specializes in teaching adult learners. You will learn very quickly, by discussing subjects that are of interest to you and constantly building your vocabulary.

If you wish to remember what you learned years ago, if you are practising for exams, for travelling, or just for personal achievement, we will help you achieve your goal.

Your personal teacher will email you from his/her Silfiac address. You will also receive a link to your personal area of our website. If, after correction by your teacher, any mistakes are repeatedly made in your grammar or construction, there will be optional comprehension and/or learning activities or explanations with examples on your area of our website.

Businessmen/women

If you need to write a very important document in French or English and need a native teacher to help you write or help you correct it, this programme is for you. You can book a teacher for one day, one week - as you need.

If you need to learn French or English for business purposes and have no real understanding of the language, then this is the best programme for you. Intensive progress will be made in a short time and you will be provide with a link to your own area of our website where, if mistakes are repeatedly made after correction by your teacher, you will see optional grammar or contruction activities or explanations with relevant examples.
