Upcoming workshops

Dates for the next series of workshops are being finalised. Please enquire to be told when they are announced.

How they run

Groups are formed by ability and by need, so that the level of discussion suits everyone in the room. Groups are kept small, which means every student writes, speaks and is heard. Where a workshop is oversubscribed, a second group is opened.

Workshop registration

Places are limited, and registration will close once a workshop reaches capacity.

To allow sufficient time for planning and preparation, the weekly registration deadline for weekend workshops is 9:00 am on Friday. Any registrations received after this deadline will automatically be allocated to the following weekend’s workshops.

Similar registration guidelines will apply to holiday workshops, with places limited to ensure effective small-group teaching. Further information, including dates, times and registration details, will be added here shortly.

Reserve a workshop place

Holiday workshops usually fill four to six weeks in advance. Let The English Tutor know the level you need and she will confirm availability.
