SAES’ was founded by Janet Muth and is fairly unique as the courses offered concentrate specifically on the needs of German students. They specialise in the preparation for the German ‘Abitur’. Students are grouped by country, ability, G8 and G9, as well as Higher Level and Standard Level. The “Abitur” preparation courses are highly successful.
Apart from English as a Foreign Language, the focus is on examination techniques and learning strategies, placing a particular emphasis on English in its written form. The courses are held four times a year (Easter, summer half term, summer and winter half term). Courses include 2 one-on-one lessons. It is also possible to book additional one-on-one lessons and there is a course on offer consisting of purely one-on-one lessons.
The courses take place in the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge University and accommodation is available in these colleges or with host families. Cambridge SAES also offers courses for lower year groups.
