Philosophy



We take a personalised approach based on the needs of the participants. Every course begins with a detailed discussion of the reasons you want to learn English and what you want to achieve. The courses are then tailored to focus on your interests and help you achieve your goals.

Whether you want to improve your English for emailing, telephoning, negotiating, holding meetings, making small talk or any other aspect of English, Dickson English can help.

We firmly believe the best learning happens in a friendly, supportive environment and this is exactly what we provide. Participants are encouraged to speak as much as possible, and questions are welcomed at any time.

When every learner feels able to speak freely then every learner has the best chance to make progress.
