Classes are intentionally small to allow students to best relate to each other while enjoying personalized and individual attention from teachers.
The idea
Our fundamental criterion when teaching is to put the student at the center of our attention. Our teaching methods are carefully selected by adapting them, on a case-by-case basis, to our needs and our educational objectives. Our teaching strategy is therefore flexible, adaptable and creative. We guarantee each student individual attention during the course.
The philosophy is to create a study center in a pleasant and enjoyable environment. Therefore our teaching method, as well as the selection of teachers, is aimed at emphasizing and supporting this philosophy. You will be pleasantly surprised!
