one to one en Winchester (Cursos de Inglés)

Our school in Riverdown is located in the county of Hampshire, about 95 km southwest of London.

It started its adventure in 1971 and by that time Riversdown became the first institution in the world dedicated to teaching languages in a Residential concept. Then other schools have been imitating this model.

Since its inception the idea has been to create a space in which busy professionals could live, breathe and dream in English 24 hours a day. The students would receive individual training or in very small groups from the hand of trainers who understood their objectives and linguistic needs. This framework would allow students to establish links with other peers and get in touch with other cultures. The work would be intense, but also enjoy an environment of unique beauty and meet people determined to make your course an unforgettable experience.

The learning is based on individualized sessions, one to one with trainers chosen to adjust to their level and established objectives. The student can determine the intensity of the course, according to their needs and particular requirements. You can also supplement your learning by joining small groups when your tutors feel that you could benefit from this interaction.
