English for academic purposes
English for academic purposes
We can offer private online classes to help you with specific academic purposes, such as preparing for a presentation or with proof reading for a report.
We not only make you aware of any corrections that are needed, but we teach you why these are errors to enable you to learn the tools to self-correct in the future.
One day I have decided that is time to step ahead and take a postgraduate course at Oxford Brookes University. Due to the classes and teacher’s support I can understand better and improve on the parts I struggle more. It is definitely helpful as only this way I believe it is easier to understand your mistakes and correct them.

Frequently asked questions
When can I start?
What if I can't come to a class?
If you cannot come to a class, please tell Poppy 24 hours before the class, and you can then recover the class at a later date. If you don’t tell us 24 hours before the class, then unfortunately you will lose the class.

Every 4 weeks you will be given a report based on what you will have studied in your classes in the previous 4 weeks. We provide extra links to exercises so that you can study at home further. We also assess your needs and progress continuously, based on how you communicate in class and your homework.
My shifts at work change every week. Is this a problem?
No. A lot of our students have jobs which mean that the days and times they work can change every week. We try to be as flexible and understanding as possible, and are happy for you to attend different days or times each week if necessary. We just need you to tell us the days you would like to come as soon as you know your working schedule.
Will I receive a certificate when I finish my classes?

Can I combine exam classes with General English classes?
