All our teachers are university graduates with a government-recognised teaching qualification. Most have several years’ experience teaching in Ireland and abroad. Small groups of learners (max. 13 per class) constitute the focal point of its educational philosophy, allowing the teachers to focus more on the needs of individual students and tailor lesson plans to suit their needs.

All students are individually assessed at the time of booking through an online test, on arrival through a speaking test and every Friday with the class test. Progress is recorded weekly to ensure students’ skills are evolving.

ISI offers a very good nationality mix, with up to 40 different nationalities studying in the school at any given time. This allows students to practise their English with students from other countries. ISI teaches the language which students need to communicate in 'real life' and for this reason we use an innovative and communicative approach. While there is a core textbook, teachers also incorporate the use of ‘real life’ materials, such as magazines, menus, advertisements, as well as internet-based resources such as YouTube videos, songs and educational software.

Our students deserve the best technology to assist them in the learning process. All our classrooms incorporate the use of Interactive Digital Whiteboards or computers, allowing our textbooks to interact with software and a range of online resources.

By becoming a LanguageCert Approved Test Centre, we empower our learners to shape their own future, consolidating their linguistic competence through the LanguageCert International ESOL qualifications.
