Private classes

Private classes are available for students with specific needs or who wish to accelerate their language learning. These classes may be one-to-one or in small groups.

Methodology

Classes are tailor-made to client’s needs, so no two classes will be alike. But our methodology remains constant: we offer interesting and varied class activities in all four skill areas (speaking, reading, listening, writing), emphasizing specific areas according to the learner’s particular needs.

We stress students learning to communicate in a relaxed and natural way, giving learners the necessary building blocks to reach their language acquisition goals.

Monitoring Students’ Progress

Learners are carefully monitored by a means of continuous assessment by their teachers and feedback given to department coordinators at periodic meetings. This oversight and coordination permits programmes to be adapted and content adjusted as the situation requires.

Regular reports are compiled based on an evaluation of each student’s progress, his or her participation in class, and their attendance record.

Cancel·lació de classes:

In the case where a student cannot attend class, the British American Institute must be informed 24 hours prior to such cancellation. (Or on the Friday before a Monday class.) Classes may be recuperated at a new time, but this flexibility may sometimes be limited by other commitments.

Rescheduled classes must take place no later than two weeks after the cancelled class. In the case where it is not possible to arrange a new date, the cost of the class will be discounted from the monthly bill.

In the case of further cancellations in the same calendar month in which the class cannot be rescheduled at a new date, the student will be charged the full amount for these missed classes.

Students should be punctual. Should a student arrive late, the termination of the class will be at the normally scheduled time.
