Spinnaker School of English has a caring family approach, where all students are taught and cared for as individuals. Our dedicated and friendly staff will provide and create the right environment for you to learn and live in. Our teachers will focus on your language needs and deliver lessons to suit your learning preferences.
We have some different English language course options for you, whether it’s General English or focusing on language skills such as reading, writing, listening or speaking. We also offer exam preparation courses e.g. IELTS, Cambridge, and Trinity. If you prefer, you can have one-to-one tuition so you can focus on a very specific area of language, such as pronunciation or writing skills, etc.
We believe in providing a service that goes outside of the classroom. Your welfare and general well-being are very important to us. To achieve this, we will provide you with accommodation, (if requested); airport transfers (when requested); a free tutorial system where you can meet with your teacher or a member of the academic team to discuss your progress, as well as any other welfare needs you may have.
In addition to this, we also offer varied student-led social programmes such as sports and visits to local sites of interest and day trips e.g. Brighton, Bath, etc...
Portsmouth, a dynamic and vibrant waterfront city, is situated on the south coast of England 103 km south west of London. A significant naval port for many centuries and home to Nelson’s HMS Victory, its waterfront is dominated by the 170 meters high Emirates Spinnaker Tower. The city boasts unique shops, great places to eat and a rich culture with magnificent theatres, live music, art galleries, museums, and two cathedrals.
The school can be found on the third floor (with lift access) of the historic Guildhall, an outstanding example of Victorian neo-classical style completed in 1890. Located in the heart of the city it is just a couple of minutes’ walk from Portsmouth and Southsea Railway Station.
As well as several classrooms, there is a quiet room for study or contemplation. A dedicated computer room provides internet access, and free WiFi is available too. Students also have access to a library of English language study texts, which can be borrowed.
Many nearby takeaways, cafes and convenience stores offer reasonably-priced food and drinks for snacks and lunch, and the Guildhall also has its own café, open to students as well as the public.
Students are invited to join in a range of free activities designed to provide an opportunity to experience British culture and explore Portsmouth. These include an orientation walk on the first day, social evenings in traditional British pubs, eating in local restaurants, listening to live music, bowling, pool, and skittles as well as shopping. There are also additional cultural trips every Saturday, which are subject to a supplementary charge.
We use a communicative approach to language learning. Our teachers contextualize their lessons which are adapted to the level of the students in their classes and delivered according to their preferred learning style, interests, and motivations.
Wherever possible, and whenever appropriate, the lessons are student led to provide maximum practice in the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, which increases communicative competence and confidence.
By using these various techniques, and encouraging learner autonomy, we provide an enjoyable and effective learning environment and experience for our students.
