- Our Teaching Staff - we are always told how professional and friendly our staff are and this means students are made to feel comfortable in their classes and therefore they speak more. And when you speak more, you learn English faster! - Our optimum school size (120-200 students) means students and teachers all get to know students and teachers in other classes, and we have enough students to offer a full range of program options - Unique Language Programs - Ski and Snowboard Instructor programs, the Cambridge Work Experience Certificate and English for Lawyers - Our homestay coordinator works for Tamwood and she personally inspects and selects all of our homestays (we do not use a homestay agency) - We offer FREE seminars on volunteering in the community and bring in guest speakers to allow students to sign up to volunteer at charity events, hospitals, festivals...
