The ability to communicate in English with confidence and clarity is an essential skill, especially when you live and work in an international environment like Singapore. When you improve your English language skills you can create stronger connections with the people around you. This can enhance your career or further education prospects, while also enriching your social life. English language courses at the British Council in Singapore are designed to help you improve your communication confidence and abilities, so that you can go further.
English language courses for adults at the British Council in Singapore are led by a team of highly qualified and experienced teachers, all of whom are dedicated to providing you with the support you need throughout your learning journey. This will help you to achieve the results you want, through a guided approach and personalised feedback that is specific to you and your goals.
Additionally, class sizes are kept small at no more than 16 students, to maximise teacher-student interaction. Classes can also be delivered as one-to-one or group private lessons where you can learn at your own pace.
