The ACE English Malta academic staff are passionate about teaching and helping students to develop their English skills. Once you get to know this teaching team, you'll find out that you can love learning as much as they love teaching!
The teachers bring their energy and passion to every lesson, and they are ready to share that drive and energy with anyone who wants to learn. Our Academic Managers also recognize that there is no single method of teaching that suits all situations and each individual student's needs. That's why the ACE academic staff are eager to practice an eclectic variety of teaching methods, combining more traditional and novel methodologies in order to meet the needs of all the students.
The students at the ACE English school in Malta come from different countries and have different levels of knowledge, but they all share the same desire to learn English. Some of them are just starting to learn the language, while others are already at an advanced level.
Regardless of the level, all students at the school work on their skills and strive for success in learning English.
