I firmly believe that the excellent interview preparation as well as the overall support I found at Photiades Education contributed significantly to my admission in Nottingham Medical School.

My dream has been to study law at a prestigious university in the United Kingdom. Photiades Education were instrumental in making this a reality as they assisted with my applications while I was carrying out my compulsory army service and contributed to my receipt of a scholarship covering my expenses.
Fast-track IELTS
IELTS is the most popular English exam internationally, required for admission by the majority of universities in the English speaking world. A distinctive feature of IELTS is that the exam is held twice a month (compared for example to IGCSE which is held twice a year) and the application can be made just a month ahead of the exam.
Our “Fast Track IELTS Program” is an intensive series of classes tailored to students who hold conditional offers from universities but have not yet achieved the required score. Delivered over a period of just six week, the program aims to raise your score by an entire unit point (e.g from 5.5 to 6.5). The program is available for enrollment throughout the year, but most students take it over the summer. Given that the duration is just 6 weeks you could enroll as late as in July and still get your result in time for university admission in September.
Classes can be taken on one-to-one basis, or in small groups of up to 4 students. For candidates that have not taken the test before, we provide a free assessment and then advise on the duration of study needed to achieve the target result.
Long-term English program
Students joining our Junior English program at the 2nd or 3rd grade of primary school can expect to successfully pass their IELTS or IGCSE exams by A’ Lyceum. In fact, we take pride in that over our long history, 97% of all students have achieved grades A, B or C by this time. A substantial number have also achieved excellent results at 3rd Gymnasium, while on a few, rarer occasions, we had students setting national records with grades A or B at the age of 13.

Pre Junior English
Pre Junior is an innovative and interactive program specifically designed for very young learners, introducing them to English through theme based activities. In a fun and safe environment, children engage in role playing, singing, puzzles and many other games which aim to motivate and encourage them to discover the language.
Typically, children will enroll at the age of 6 and follow the program for 1 year. By the end of the program they become comfortable with the vocabulary pertaining to basic themes such as pets, colours, body parts, fruit and vegetables.
