Cambridge English Pre A1 Starters One-to-One Coaching Programme
Cambridge English Pre A1 Starters Coaching at ILC is a private one-to-one programme designed for young learners aged approximately 6–9 who are beginning their English language journey. The course follows the Cambridge English Qualifications framework and develops the confidence, vocabulary and communication skills children need before progressing to A1 Movers.
Every lesson is delivered individually by an experienced English teacher, allowing the programme to be tailored to each child’s current ability, learning style and pace. Rather than simply preparing children to pass an exam, our coaching develops genuine English communication through engaging activities, games, speaking practice, reading and writing tasks that build confidence from the very first lesson.
This programme is suitable for children who are learning English at school, bilingual children who need additional support, or young learners preparing for their first Cambridge English qualification.
Why young learners benefit from one-to-one coaching
Every child develops English at a different pace. In group classes, some children become overwhelmed while others are not challenged enough. One-to-one coaching removes these barriers by allowing every lesson to focus entirely on the individual learner.
Our teachers can immediately correct pronunciation, strengthen vocabulary, develop listening skills and build speaking confidence without children feeling pressured by classmates. Parents also receive clearer feedback about their child’s progress and areas for improvement.
What Cambridge English Pre A1 Starters measures
Pre A1 Starters is the first level of the Cambridge English Qualifications for young learners. It introduces children to everyday English through familiar topics such as family, school, colours, numbers, animals, food and daily routines.
Learners develop the ability to understand simple spoken English, answer basic questions, recognise familiar vocabulary and communicate using short sentences in everyday situations. The examination focuses on building confidence and encouraging children to enjoy learning English rather than creating unnecessary pressure.
Progress at this stage is measured through positive achievement, giving children the motivation to continue learning and progress towards A1 Movers.
