ABC SCHOOL INFORMATION:

At ABC School we offer English courses using the Callan Method and preparation classes for the Cambridge examinations. Using the Callan Method we guarantee to teach English four times faster than any other method.


Why do we use the Callan Method?

We have decided to use the Callan Method as it is the quickest and the most reliable method of teaching English. The Method was founded in 1960 and has since proved itself to be infallible. Due to the unique nature of the Method the student will speak for the entire lesson. This is very important, as the only way to learn to speak a language is to speak it.


What is the Callan Method?

It is a direct method created specifically to enhance the student’s comprehension and speaking abilities in a pleasant yet intensive atmosphere. The question-answer format of the lesson ensures that the student is actively involved in listening and using the language to a maximum. The teacher keeps the lesson moving swiftly in order that the student learns to understand English at its natural spoken speed.


Free trial lessons

We offer three days of trial lessons which you only pay for if you sign on. We do not offer trial lessons during July and August.


Level test

On your first day at ABC School, we will test your level of English and assign you to the appropriate class. From then on, we will assess your progress and closely monitor your speed of learning. This personal approach allows us, with confidence, not only to prepare you for the Cambridge examinations, but also for further study and career opportunities.

A written guarantee to pass the Cambridge examinations During your trial lessons you will receive a written guarantee stating the number of hours you need to pass the Cambridge examinations. If after the predicted number of hours you are unsuccessful, we will give you free lessons until you succeed.


Our teachers

All our teachers are native English speakers, highly qualified and thoroughly trained to teach using the Callan Method. Choosing the best teachers is our priority as experience has taught us that the careful selection of our teachers is vital for students’ success.
