General English Program

Our courses follow the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the internationally recognized standard for language learning. You will progress through clearly defined levels:

• A1-A2 (Basic) - Build foundational vocabulary, everyday expressions, and simple conversations.
• B1-B2 (Intermediate) - Develop fluency, express opinions, and handle real-world situations with confidence.
• C1-C2 (Advanced) - Master complex language, academic writing, and professional communication.

Every level develops all four essential language skills, fully integrated into each lesson:

• Speaking - Express yourself clearly and confidently in conversations and presentations.
• Listening - Understand native speakers, lectures, and real-world English.
• Reading - Comprehend academic texts, articles, and professional materials.
• Writing - Produce clear, structured, and effective written English.

Every new student completes a placement assessment before joining a class. This ensures you start at the level that matches your current ability, so you make real progress from day one.

At Starfish, learning is never one-size-fits-all. Our communicative teaching approach puts you at the center of every lesson. Teachers engage with each student personally, adapting to your pace, learning style, and goals. Classes are interactive and dynamic, helping you build genuine confidence in using English, not just studying it.

Our General English classes are conducted one-on-one, giving you the undivided attention of your teacher in every session. Classes are fully flexible, so you and your teacher agree on a schedule that works for your life.
