Use and Improve Your English
Do you feel you could use support while expanding your English in a classroom setting where you can practise in a safe environment? Join our Pre-Intermediate English Course.
English is not learned by completing exercises but by using the language. Our teachers create a classroom where you actively speak, listen, ask questions and share ideas from the very first lesson. The course book supports this process, but communication always comes first. This is where confidence grows, and real progress is made. The classroom is more than a place to learn English; it's where you meet people, build friendships and create personal connections. Learning together also means becoming part of a community that extends beyond the classroom.
To support your learning, we use the English File (4th Edition) Pre-Intermediate Student's Book. Your teacher will guide you through the coursebook, giving you the tools, grammar explanations and feedback you need to continue improving both inside and outside the classroom.
At Kickstart School, we believe AI has become a useful tool for individuals learning a new language and can help you review vocabulary, practise grammar or check your understanding. However, it should support your learning rather than replace it. Real progress comes from thinking in English, expressing your own ideas and communicating with other people. In class, you will have the opportunity to ask questions, receive immediate feedback and take part in conversations. These experiences help you build the confidence and communication skills that no computer can provide.
Our Pre-Intermediate course consists of three modules of 22.5 hours each, giving a total of 67.5 hours of tuition. Each module covers different language topics, allowing you to join the module anytime. This flexible structure means you do not have to wait for a new course to begin.

- Speaking with greater confidence and fluency

- Listening comprehension
- Pronunciation
- Expressing opinions and participating in discussions
