Teaching Method
Teaching method includes a mixture of 1 to 1 and group sessions. Teachers create an individual lesson plan for each student which is then monitored on a weekly basis. Bi-Annual parents meetings are held to provide feedback on learner’s progress. Each class has less than 20 learners so that teachers can provide more 1 to 1 attention to learners.
