Toddler English - very young children aged 3-4
Toddler Early English courses teach English to young children, aged 3 and 4, taught by a native English speaker with experience in early learning. This unique method builds on children's natural ability to absorb spoken language, through singing and playing, repetitive hearing and positive reinforcement. Classes offer a fun-filled environment where children can pick up English with the same ease as they learn their mother tongue.
Our little ones absolutely enjoy their lesson and are given a unique opportunity to learn in a natural, stress-free environment.
Kindergarten - young children aged 5
This course emphasizes on speaking and listening, as students are now able to carry out basic dialogues and their vocabulary allows them to practise pronunciation and repeat and recognize sounds in English the same way they do in their mother tongue. Students practise through rhymes and songs and they even do a little bit of cooking or carry out simple experiments. By the end of the year our kindergarteners feel confident and they have developed a genuine love for English which is essentially what we are aiming for.

English for Teens - teenagers aged 12-14
Students are now ready to move on to learning idioms and phrasal verbs and really study the language in depth. At Limassol School of English we do care a lot about Writing and this is the time for our students to master these skills and techniques. It is also extremely important for us that our students develop critical thinking and that is why we often have debates that sharpen their critical thinking skills. Our students can think about important issues, they can present them and they can engage in conversations about these issues. They also have the Writing skills to present these key issues in a way that is relevant and appropriate for their age.
