Critical thinking is a valuable skill for academic study, as well as a vital life skill. Top-tier universities use challenging admissions tests and conduct interviews to assess candidates’ capacity to think critically. Critical thinking is one of the top skills that employers desire.

Students who prefer to focus on improving their English level have the option to study Academic English and general IELTS Preparation, rather than life skills. Experienced English language teachers will guide students through useful lessons in topics such as note taking, academic presentations, vocabulary, pronunciation and listening skills. Fun and interactive lessons encourage students to build confidence and improve language skills in small classes with ample opportunity for individual attention.
