| All our group courses are academically sound and promote
long term aims with the language. The teaching is communicative,
challenging, interactive, fun, and engages and stretches our
students.
Our teachers are qualified and experienced language trainers,
and are all native or bilingual speakers. They have been interviewed
by our full time Academic Team, and have had their references
followed up. We assign classes according to the strengths
of our teachers and work with them to ensure the quality of
course delivery is excellent at all times. We have also introduced
a comprehensive Teacher Development Programme at Cactus, which
incorporates a range of seminars, classroom observations,
same-language teacher forums, regular newsletters, and information
on methodology and hands-on teaching techniques. Our teaching
philosophy is based on looking at ideas, asking questions,
and meeting challenge.
Our courses are monitored throughout. Feedback is gathered
from you by online questionnaires and acted upon by Cactus
wherever appropriate. Teachers are consulted and provide direct
input into course syllabuses and materials. By learning with
Cactus, you enter an ongoing dialogue between you, your teacher,
and us. We aim to provide a clear learning pathway and ensure
you make real progress in the language of your choice.
