The Tti Approach

Tti’s methodology follows the communicative method. We believe that to learn English effectively you need to experience every aspect of English and be exposed to a balanced input of the four skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing – together with clear and practical grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation practice. Each lesson consists of activities designed to practise one or more of these things. Our aim is to deliver quality lessons and maintain consistently high standards – we want to give you a real sense of progress and to ensure that the courses represent value for money.

We will test your level both with a pre-arrival test and an interview on arrival to choose the most suitable class for you. When it is time to change your level the Director of Studies will test your level outside class time and give you the results the next day.

Tti classes do not follow an individual course book. Instead, teachers follow a detailed and comprehensive syllabus, and select the best and most appropriate materials for your class. We often ask our students to tell us what they want to learn, and what they think about their classes. We try to meet these needs and interests to ensure that personal learning objectives are met. You will also receive copies of study materials to take home and review. We will help you to develop good study skills, which include guidance on how to organize your worksheets and keep vocabulary books, and we will monitor your progress via regular in-class testing, and counselling whenever you need it.
