Our teachers and student support staff are on standby every day after class to assist in academic, non-academic and technical matters.
Standardised Progress Checks
We assess our students on their coursework, class participation, Weekly quizzes and final exam marks. These multiple assesment areas provide a full and accurate measure of each student’s abilities and improvement at each level.

BETTER COMMUNICATION
Studying online was a great experience for me. The communication with my peers and teachers was better than it had been in school. Many thanks to all my teachers for everything they have done for us.

HELPFUL ONLINE TEACHERS
I thought online learning would not be effective, but it was actually like attending regular classes. My teachers helped me with my problems in learning and gave feedback on homework. I have learned so much from ELS and I am happy to follow online lessons.

TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR STUDENTS
FUN CLASS ACTIVITIES
My online classes are very relaxing because all I need to do is keep my smartphone beside me at all times. I had fun learning English because there are many activities and games during class.

LEARN FROM THE COMFORT OF HOME
Online education is much better because it saves time. It is also more comfortable to learn from home, and it is easier to speak freely with the teachers without feeling embarrassment or hesitation.

POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Online classes with ELS allowed me to keep in touch with my teachers and classmates and gave me a positive atmosphere to learn. I would like to thank my ELS teachers for helping me to improve my English skills.
