Our group course content is academically standardized
and promotes long term aims with the language. The teaching,
by native speaker teachers, will be communicative, fun,
intimate, and engages and challenges our students. We
take teacher support seriously within Cactus. Our teachers
are qualified language trainers and are given further
leadership by our full time Director of Studies, here
at Cactus, who interviews the teachers, sends them information
on what and how to teach and meets them for teacher
training sessions. Although there will be an emphasis
on speaking and listening, grammar is included in our
programs and will be taught in context. Our programs
are monitored throughout, through feedback gathered
from you by online surveys and acted upon by Cactus.
All prices include course books. Most courses listed
below are 10 week courses, with one lesson of two hours
on one evening per week. Class size is usually max 12,
with an average of 8 students. For more details on any
of these schools or courses please email

Please note that you will receive your coursebook

The Cactus Course Outlines provide a learning framework
for the Cactus Foreign Language Evening Courses. They
are designed to provide you with a good idea of what
you might cover over a 10-week period, and include typical
themes, vocabulary and grammar areas. They are flexible
rather than prescriptive, in that our teachers can decide
to adapt their learning plans to the specific level,
aims and interests of their classes.
