The General English plus Tennis course is designed to help you develop your overall level of English whilst also practising a practical skill.
In the mornings you study on the core programme of the General English course in a multi-national class at your level for 20 lessons per week. For 3 afternoons per week you will have tennis lessons led by a professional tennis coach who will help you to improve all aspects of your game.
The tennis lessons will also help you practise your English further. Some key features of the tennis option are:
- maximum 4 per group for tennis coaching lessons
- lessons take place at an indoor tennis centre in Eastbourne
- all coaches are qualified (LTA level 3 and above)
- each tennis lesson lasts one hour
- more lessons available at extra cost
- transport to and from the tennis centre included
- minimum stay normally 2 weeks
Our minimum age for individuals is 16 but we occasionally accept 15 year olds on the General English course in international classes provided they are part of a group with a group leader.
