At NikaTeacher, we take your learning experience seriously, whether you are learning English to pass an exam or learning to just simply improve your English.
✔️Cambridge exams in Las Palmas
To be honest, studying for an exam takes time, there’s a lot to take in and even though we are great teachers, we can’t wave a magic wand, you need to study.
We know exactly what is required for an exam whether it’s PET B1, FCE B2, or CAE C1, we cover all four skills, (reading / use of English, writing, speaking and listening) thoroughly and we won’t recommend you take the exam until we know you are totally ready. We have a copious amount of exam practice papers so there will be plenty of preparation to give you heaps of confidence when you finally take that exam.
If you are in a rush to pass your exam, we can cater for your needs; you can do an intensive course or take individual classes. If you are not in a hurry, you can study at your own pace, again individual or group classes are available.
✔️No exam – no problem 💭
If you are learning for fun or to improve your English, we still take your learning experience seriously, and we still practice the four skills.
Speaking could involve a group debate or role play exercises, this can be so much fun and a great way to practice for everyday situations. Our classes are focused on speaking; you will learn new vocabulary and then have plenty of chances to practice it. Speaking can vary from giving directions to climate change, we have a whole range of topics you can cover. 🗣
Reading. This is a great way for us to check your pronunciation and for you to learn new vocabulary. The articles we use are really interesting and there is always a question / answer piece to check for comprehension. 📖
Writing. As you are studying to improve your English and not for an exam, writing usually involves a fun email or a short story, don’t panic we won’t make you write a report on the current economic climate unless you want to. 🙈💪🏻
Listening. I struggle with listening when I’m learning Spanish so I sympathise when students find it difficult, so slowly slowly we practice. Listening can also include watching an interesting video, again questions and answers to confirm comprehension. After you’ve learnt a certain topic with new vocabulary and grammar you will be surprised how much you understand when you finish with a listening task! Have a look at this useful website, it has different levels of listening plus topics and there is a transcript too if you are really struggling: https://agendaweb.org/listening-exercises
Like exam learning, you can choose how many classes you want to do whether you prefer intensive classes or a class once a week, it’s your choice.
So, if you want to pass that all important exam or want to learn English for fun, get in touch, we are happy to answer any questions.
