English Language Course Information

This is an ideal opportunity for clients to improve their English, learn a new skill (or continue with an existing hobby) and to have fun, all at the same time. By following an interest or by practising a hobby in English, clients extend their learning experience and improve their language skills as well as gaining in confidence.

On this course, clients have 20 morning One to One or Group lessons of General or Business English starting at 0900 hours and finishing at 1230 hours. There is a 30 minute mid-morning coffee break. Refreshments and lunches are provided by the school and taken with Bournemouth One to One teaching staff. This gives clients the opportunity to practise their social English.

In the afternoons clients are taken to their activities, which are usually of one or two hours per day. All courses are taught by qualified teachers.

Activity Course Information

At the Golf Course clients are able to practise both their listening and speaking skills in a real environment, conversing with the golf coach and members of staff at the Club. In the afternoons clients are driven to the Golf Club and taken on the course by their coach for their 1 hour lesson.

They return to the club where they have coffee with a member of staff and then have practice on the Driving Range. On Friday afternoon clients have the opportunity to play a round of golf on the 9-hole golf course. At the end of the afternoon a taxi will take them back to their host families.

Public Golf Courses

Golf lessons are available at Meyrick Park Golf Club (www.clubhaus.com) which is a public golf course approximately 15 minutes walk away from the school. It is suitable for players who have some experience of playing.

One to One golf tuition costs £17 per 30 minutes or £30 per hour. One to Two tuition is the same price. Group tuition of a minimum of 3 people is £30 per hour. All equipment is provided as part of the lesson. Bookings for golf lessons must be made 7 days in advance. Bournemouth One to One can make bookings but the client is directly responsible for payment.

A game of golf costs £17 on weekdays and £20 at the weekend. Playing after 16.00 hours is often cheaper. Once again, a game of golf must be booked 7 days in advance.

Private Golf Courses

There are a number of private golf clubs in the area. The majority are outside Bournemouth and are a bus or taxi ride away from the school.

In order to play on private greens it is necessary to have a copy of your handicap certificate.

The price of a round of golf at private clubs costs from £35 per person per round. At weekends and on public holidays it costs from £45. It is sometimes possible to hire both trolleys and equipment. Bookings have to be made a week in advance. At private golf clubs there is a dress code which must be observed. Bournemouth One to One can make bookings but the client is directly responsible for payment.

Testing

Bournemouth One to One's 3 Stage Testing System enables our teaching staff to focus on the language needs of each individual client.

The client's progress is constantly monitored and the course will be adapted to include other areas of language that the client is having problems with. The client is consulted at every stage of the course.

Teaching Staff

All members of staff at Bournemouth One to One have a great deal of experience in teaching both Business English and General English as well as teaching English for exams. They include Cambridge examiners, ELT (English Language Teaching) authors and teacher trainers.

Price

The price includes registration and enrolment fees, tuition fees, course materials, refreshments and light lunches at the school Monday to Friday, social activities (such as visits to the cinema or theatre plus a weekend half-day excursion including lunch with the Director) as well as the activity.

Accommodation

We can arrange high quality host family, residential or hotel accommodation for clients.

We recommend host family accommodation since it enables the client to continue experiencing an English speaking environment in a more relaxed way, even when they are not studying at the school. This ensures total immersion in the language.

We have a number of excellent host families who offer high quality accommodation, some including ensuite facilities. Clients normally stay with local host families who are chosen by the school to match their personal requirements and who will invite the clients to join in their social activities. It is possible to be the only person in the family, if the client prefers.

Accommodation is booked from Saturday prior to the start of each course. The client normally departs on the Saturday after the course.

Hotel accommodation can be arranged by the school if the client prefers. Clients are responsible for paying their own hotel bills.

Social Activities

Evening activities (for example, going to the theatre, the cinema or to concerts) plus a weekend half-day excursion including lunch with the Director are included in the price.

Group Courses

Each member of the group must have a similar level of English.

Exclusivity

The exclusive nature of the school enables clients to have maximum opportunity to practise their English, since the tea/coffee breaks and lunches are always taken with members of staff. Normally there are no more than 8 clients in the school at any one time. In addition, clients have the opportunity to be the only guest in the host family.
