Our Dubai campus in Jumeirah Lakes Towers is close to Sobha Realty Metro Station on the Red Line. General English classes run in the morning, around midday and in the evening, so you can fit an English course around work, study or family life in Dubai.
All three General English options are also available at our Ras Al Khaimah campus in Al Hamra, with the same levels, teaching approach and rolling start dates.
Classes cover every skill (speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary) at CEFR levels A2 to C1, taught by CELTA-qualified teachers in small groups. Not sure of your level? Take our free English level test and we'll recommend the right class.
Want to speak English with more confidence? Speaking is built into every General English lesson: you practise it every day in pairs and small groups, with a native English-speaking teacher correcting your pronunciation, grammar and word choice as you go. You learn the language, then you use it straight away in real conversations about work, travel and daily life in the UAE.
In Dubai, our social activities (two or three a month) give you more chances to speak outside the classroom. If you want to focus only on speaking, pronunciation or your accent, private one-to-one lessons let you spend every minute on it, in Dubai, Ras Al Khaimah or online.
Four weeks of Part-Time General English costs AED 992, Semi-Intensive AED 2,830 and Intensive AED 4,560, and the weekly rate drops the longer you study. See all course prices or ask us for a quote.
Semi-Intensive and Intensive courses start every Monday. Part-Time evening classes run on a rolling basis and you can book from 1 to 26 weeks.
