Wall Street English helps you learn English and learn it well
Wall Street English adopts a unique natural approach and multi-method teaching method designed by linguists based on the way humans learn their mother tongue. It targets the needs of Hong Kong people and combines the important elements of "all-English learning environment", "on-site assistant teachers", and "flexible class hours" to comprehensively improve English proficiency through the four steps of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Not only is it easy to learn English, but it’s also easier to learn English well!
Q: Can I be taught on a one-to-one basis? We advocate small class teaching. At most, there will be four students in a class. It is possible that, on occasion, you might be taught on a one-to-one basis depending on attendance of the Encounter Class. However, we believe that having more than one student in the class offers you more opportunity to talk with others who have reached a similar level of English as you. However, if you prefer to always have one-on-one classes with our teachers, you can opt for our VIP program. Ask your education consultant for more details. |
Q: Why do I use computers for learning? A computer is used as part of our MultiMethod® system, it is designed in a multimedia format with richly illustrated graphics and motion pictures to help you improve your English proficiency. The automatic correction system helps you self-evaluate your learning progress and improve your English proficiency. |
Q: How will I be assessed? You will be assessed using a number of very effective methods, including comprehension checkpoints, Encounter classes and our computerised profile, which will monitor your Speaking Centre activities, grading, classes and results. Also, your education consultants, personal tutors, and teachers will be tracking your progress closely, pointing out areas needing improvement. |
Q: How can I be confident of the level of quality of your courses and services? WSE’s system is the same in WSE Centres all over the world and it is ISO 9001:2000 accredited in Barcelona, Spain. ISO accreditation is highly prized and requires organisations to deliver an efficient, high-quality service on a consistent basis. Furthermore, our well-trained and qualified Personal Tutors will closely monitor your study progress throughout your WSE course. Each student receives a “Student Progress Profile” at the end of every Encounter class. Students will be progressing according to our curriculum as they advance to the upper levels. They will be able to assess their profiles themselves and their confidence level will be increasing as they progress through our courses. |
Q: Can I cancel my class if I need to work overtime? Of course. Simply call our centres and re-schedule your class. It will be helpful if you can let us know at least 24 hours beforehand so that other students may attend in your place. This will make our booking system more efficient. |
Q: What are the qualifications of your teachers? All our teachers are fully qualified to teach English as a second language. Their native language (mother-tongue) is English, and they are all trained by the system used by the Wall Street English. |
Q: How can I book a class? Simply complete the first lesson and make your reservation at our centres’ reception, our staff will arrange a class for you right away. |
Q: Why do I need to visit the centre for details of the course? There are in total 20 levels for Wall Street English’s English course. In order to provide you the best English training, our Education Consultant will assess your English capability during the interview and English test. We will also provide advice in your goal-setting and course selection to ensure the best result you can attain within your schedule. |
