English for young learners on the Isle of Thanet


Ramsgate: one of the towns on the Isle of Thanet

The Isle of Thanet was once an island off the South-East coast of England. It was here that the Romans landed when they invaded Britain.


Today Thanet consists of the seaside towns of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. Our students stay mainly in Margate, a popular seaside town with miles of sandy beaches, old caves once used by smugglers and a 2000 year old shell grotto - and Broadstairs, once a fishing village and home of Charles Dickens, now a popular holiday town with a sandy beach in its main bay, six further bays and white cliffs.


The area is full of history and places of interest. A trip to the famous cathedral city of Canterbury is a popular part of our programme of activities. Dover, with its impressive castle is not far away and with London just two hours away we run various trips there almost every Saturday.

Lessons:

Our main aim is to improve your marks at school. What you actually learn will depend on how old you are, what you need at school and where your weaknesses lie. You will complete a short test on the first day; this will give us an overview of your English and help us to put you in the right class.


If you have got problems with grammar, we will repeat and practice things like the tenses, adjectives, adverbs, if-clauses, reported speech, active and passive, etc. Do you find it difficult giving accurate answers to questions about a text? Then we will teach you the art of answering such questions and go through the rules from “A to Z”.


Are you in a higher class and find you get poor marks at school when you write summaries, essays, interpretations and characterisations? We will teach you the techniques involved with each of these.
