IELTS Preparation

The six-tier syllabus is suitable for all levels from beginner through to proficient. The syllabus combines language study and language in use to offer a variety of lesson types with the main focus on developing communication skills.

Students have 3 sessions every week specifically focused in the IELTS examination. The classes aim to give students a solid basis and understanding of the exam style and techniques required to pass the exam.

Students have two full-day excursions every week. To provide students with an even greater holistic language learning experience, we offer lessons specifically linked to destinations around England.

The academic skills sessions give students an introduction to exam techniques and are intended to help students improve the skills of academic reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Assessing a learner’s skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, the Bucksmore Assessment helps to improve opportunities for study and travel. Taken at the end of the course, it provides a more rounded evaluation of a student’s English ability.

Every Bucksmore location has a residential management team, and a minimum staff-student ratio of 1:7. There is always a trained first aider on-site, and students are supervised 24 hours a day.

Bucksmore offers a complimentary airport transfer service on transfer days for flights arriving/departing between 10:00 and 20:00. We can also provide an Unaccompanied Minor service for pick-up and drop-off. Students are looked after from when they land to when their flight departs.

Each location has a Centre Manager, Activity Manager and Director of Studies available for all students to approach with any problems. Bucksmore Counsellors are more than just teachers; they provide a high level of care and guidance for all students. All staff are background checked.

High staff to student ratios ensure all students are looked after. Bucksmore summer schools strive to create a warm and welcoming “family atmosphere” where all students and Counsellors know each other well.
