SSE offers a Help me read and Help me spell programme which is on another level than all previous attempts to help this large group of English learners.

Secondly, Sophie Sounds English (SSE) caters for the huge demand by students of English as Foreign Language (EFL) or English as a Second Language (ESL). We first started organising high quality English (EFL) Residential Summer Schools in 1995. In 2013 we have now launched our dynamic 'Sophie Sound English' courses which are truly ground breaking and will be included in addition to the Trinity Oral examination.
