Achieve

All lessons are individually tailored to meet the student's unique learning objectives. As a result, comprehensive assessments must be done to determine the scope of the training. During the assessment and consultation phase, the objectives are defined by and agreed upon by the student and the instructor. After the objectives are defined, a learning plan is proposed which addresses the specific learning objectives of the student.

 

We primarily employ the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP) methods, but we also employ other teaching methods to facilitate the maximum learning potential of the student. Assessments are given regularly during the program to ascertain the program's validity and the student's progress.

SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE OWNER AND PEDAGOGICAL ADVISOR: "When choosing a school, be careful of schools that promote themselves as large-scale operations. They often treat their students as clients and not students who are often just numbers by an administration that is burdened with excessive work. Knowing the student and his and her concerns and learning needs is paramount to a positive learning outcome. Another important aspect to consider is the training rate. Good, qualified language instructors invest a significant amount of money to get the necessary credentials to teach the language, so no self-respecting language instructor will accept sub par compensation. At PES, we are a close, strong team of language instructors who will know you by your first name and who will help you succeed in your linguistic objectives from A to Z.  Equally important, our teachers are well-compensated for their instruction, and in turn, we attract the best and the brightest to work with us. What is the result? Happy and successful students who acquire the language skills they need." - Stephan Monette
