For readers (14-18 years old) who can follow the main points of a story and want to build fluency and vocabulary, with an opportunity to practice speaking through group discussion.
Over 10 weeks, our group will read and discuss a shared book together, building confidence through weekly discussion, a short writing exercise, and personal feedback. This isn't an exam prep course, but the reading, discussion, and writing involved naturally build the skills that support English language test preparation, expanding vocabulary, exposing readers to varied grammatical structures in context, and strengthening reading comprehension.
Price includes the book and a few additional goodies.
Dates: Tuesday 22 September to Tuesday 2 December (10 weeks, taking into account holidays)
Time: 5pm-6pm
Book: Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadono (translated by Emily Balistrieri).
This coming-of-age story, translated from Japanese, follows a young witch striking out on her own for the first time, balancing independence, self-doubt, and finding her place in a new town. While originally written for younger readers, its accessible level makes it a great match for this intermediate group, and its Studio Ghibli connection gives it a wide appeal that spans all ages.
Read a sample of the book to ensure you are comfortable with the level.
Please read the terms and conditions, which will need to be accepted in the purchase process.
A note for parents: these groups are built around students who already enjoy reading and want to talk about it, not as an extra push for reluctant readers. Please only sign your child up if they're genuinely keen as it will make a difference to the group dynamic.
