Counselling on Education particularly on achieving proficiency in English or Persian

We will help you develop your own plan of Education which is most suited to your abilities and ambitions. In particular we will assist you with your study plan to improve your English more quickly and to achieve your full potential. We have a similar project for those who wish to improve their Persian as a second language (e.g. those married to a Persian speaker or anyone else interested). For the language club's meetings to help with your English and/or Persian call the main telephone number. In these sessions apart from checking the student’s progress, answering questions and discussing methods of improving language skills – groups of students engage in discussions to help one another in conversation and reading (generally speaking one group is very good in English and the other in Persian).
