Designed for you – The Academic English language courses offered at Immerse International have been designed to meet your individual needs as you prepare for college, university, trade or professional school.
How you learn – Our teachers know that you learn more effectively if your lessons are engaging, fun and relevant. That’s why they use a range of techniques and develop classes that are motivating and designed to build your confidence. Our classes are held on campus daily, with an excellent teaching staff who have Master’s degrees with training and experience in teaching English.
Placement test – As part of the admission process you will take an online placement test that will ensure that you are placed in the correct level for maximum learning. You will be placed in an appropriate class by data collected from the placement test that includes listening comprehension and reading comprehension. Results of testing will be given to the student within two days of testing. Click here for English Level Descriptors.
