Exam Preparation

Having a certificate or qualification in English can be a real benefit for your career and job prospects. At Phonebox our specially trained teachers can provide you with the guidance and support you need for most internationally recognised English certificates giving you a real advantage when it comes to the final exam. After contacting Phonebox we will assign you a teacher who has experience with the exam you are wishing to take and you decide how many lessons you have each week lasting either 30 minutes or 1 hour. These courses will fully prepare you for your chosen exam or can be used in addition to an exam preparation course you are already taking providing you with the extra tuition you might need to succeed. Courses vary depending on the exam you are taking and cover all aspects of exam preparation you would expect, with one to one tutoring on reading, listening, speaking, writing and grammar exam preparation. A real advantage of taking an exam preparation course with Phonebox is that you can be very flexible with the times of the lessons and length of course so that it's very easy to fit in with work and busy time schedules.
