Our Accreditations & Memberships

The Performance Guarantee Since our first student in 2006, Performance English has taken great care ensuring every student has a memorable and rewarding learning experience.

Our experience demonstrates that students learn faster with a tailored program. We are committed to delivering superior courses and looking after our students like no other school. To ensure our students achieve their individual goals and needs, Performance English guarantees you’ll learn faster with:

Weekly Class Feedback Sessions Each Performance English class has a weekly student centred feedback and curriculum adjustment session to ensure our lesson content constantly addresses your needs.

Clear, Tailored Learning Aims Teachers devise a weekly plan to achieve level aims in alignment to your individual learning needs.

Regular Formal Assessment Language and communicative competence tests, every 4 weeks, ensure you know your exact level and can monitor your progress.

Fortnightly One-on-One Tutorials Through fortnightly one-on-one tutorials with your teacher, you will receive study advice based on your personal needs and classroom performance. Detailed individual feedback is also provided after each assessment.

Professionally Guided Self Study Personal study plans generated from test results aid self study in our multi-media learning centre.

Pronunciation Focus At Performance English we believe clear pronunciation is extremely important. Our class teachers have a special interest in pronunciation and provide on-going pronunciation instruction to ensure students firstly understand how pronunciation works and then learn how to reduce the influence of their first language.

Commitment to Student NeedsA student questionnaire in Week 1 and on course completion ensures Performance English receives valuable student feedback for program refinement.

I am not afraid to speak English now – my English has progressed and I have overcome my fear of making mistakes. This has allowed me to speak more freely than before. Thanks to my teachers – they always set up a supportive and no-pressure environment for us to learn. In addition, the tasks given are challenging enough to keep us motivated and learning.

Studying with Performance English has made my life in Australia much more fun!

This agreement is made in accordance with the ESOS Act 2000, ESOS Regulations 2001 and National Code 2007. This agreement, and the availability of complaints and appeals processes, does not remove the right of the student to take action under Australia’s consumer protection laws.

A student’s personal information collected on this form and during their enrolment may be made available to Commonwealth and State agencies and the TPS Director to ensure our obligations are met under the ESOS Act and National Code 2007 and to ensure students are compliant with their visa conditions.

All student visa holders must attend at least 80% of their course and maintain satisfactory course progress by completing all class work, assignments and assessments. Failure to do so will result in reporting the student to the Australian Government.

Student visa holders are required to notify Performance English of their current residential address and telephone number at all times.

Student visa holders who are unable to attend class because they are sick will be marked as absent.
