Young Learners

Students in these levels are ready to prove their level of English that they have learned to date. We prepare students for the internationally recognized Cambridge Young Learners exams. These exams are designed to be a gentle introduction to test taking, building confidence and focusing on specific skills such as speaking and listening.
