Intensive English Courses
If you have limited time, intensity is everything. Intensive courses pack 25–40 lessons a week for a full CEFR jump in a single term.
More contact hours plus daily practice is the proven recipe for fast progress — ideal when you have weeks, not years.
What makes it intensive
Look for:
- 25–40 lessons per week
- Daily one-to-one or small groups
- Structured evening self-study (spartan academies)
- Clear weekly progress checks
Where intensity is cheapest
Philippine academies are built for this — up to eight one-to-one lessons a day, room and meals included, at a fraction of Western prices.
