Plymouth English Centre Introduction: Let me begin by saying that we were very pleased that you have shown interest in our English Language School. The Plymouth English Centre was founded in 1986 and became part of Tellus English Centres, a subsidiary of Tellus Group Limited, in March 2006. Although we also offer other services such as translation, interpreting, proof-reading and cultural awareness programmes, the Centre’s core activity is providing all year round, high quality, systematic and focused English language tuition in a friendly atmosphere. The Centre is located in the heart of the ancient, maritime city of Plymouth, close to services such as cafes, shops, banks and post offices, and only a five minutes' walk from the city's shopping area and ten from the seafront. Ample facilities for parking can be found very near the school, which is also situated on the main route for local bus services. As Plymouth is situated in the South West of England, the cost of living here is much lower than in London and the other big cities in the United Kingdom. Our programmes have been very successful and the curriculum includes a number of courses, both group and individual, ranging from standard to more specialized and tailor-made ones in order to meet all our clients' needs. All students are given a placement test on their arrival at school so as to both guarantee a placement in a suitable group and sufficient information for their teachers of their individual language needs. In addition, we also provide our students with carefully selected and safe home stay, self-catering or hotel accommodation. Our classrooms and student utility areas are modern and well-appointed, and are used as an integral part of our structured and systematic learning programme. All our teachers are qualified and well experienced in teaching English as a foreign or second language. We accept students of all ages and welcome everyone regardless of their sex, race, religion or orientation of any kind. In order to provide language support for work experience and internship students prior to and during their work placements, The Tellus Plymouth English Centre works closely together with two other Tellus Group subsidiaries, Work Experience UK (WEUK), which specializes in the organization and management of vocational work experience programmes such as 'Leonardo da Vinci' and 'Erasmus' and internships; Tellus Training, which provides Professional and Management Training courses; and Tellus Employment Agency (TEAL), an agency specializing in sourcing qualified personnel for highly skilled jobs in the UK. In addition, we also work in close relationship with Institute of Leadership Management (ILM, one of the top organizations in professional training), who run recognised certification courses on a wide variety of professional and business-related subjects.
