| CLASS | CLASS TYPE | SUBJECT | DESCRIPTION |
| 1 | One to One (1:1) | Speaking | The class is designed to help the student speak confidently on a variety of topics that draw on personal experience, campus-based situations, and academic content materials. This helps students develop language fluency with accuracy and natural speed. |
| 2 | Group Class (GC) | General Skills | An integrated class where the teacher closely monitors students’ usage of English as well as the integration of the four major skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) |
| 3 | One-to-One (1:1) | Writing | This hones learners’ ability to write standard academic English. The student will be able to state and support opinions based on their personal knowledge and experience. Also, they will be able to demonstrate their ability to communicate in writing about academic information based on what they have read and listened to. |
| 4 | Group Class (GC) | Listening | This class aids students in improving their ability to listen and understand spoken English. |
| 5 | One-to-One (1:1) | Reading | This class is designed to develop and sharpen students’ reading skills. Different passages are given and students need to answer questions related to it. This class will test students’ comprehension skills. |
| 6 | Group Class (GC) | Pronunciation | As students come from different non-English speaking countries, students find it difficult to say the words properly. As such, there is a need for every student to learn this class which helps them improve on enunciating the words correctly and use them in real-life situations. |
| 7 | Self-Study Class | Essay Writing/ Music Class | It offers sufficient time to complete tasks guided by a teacher to monitor student’s work and performance. Students can participate in music classes to learn more vocabulary and how to use words and relieve stress after class. |
