About us

At TIES we are constantly searching for innovative and creative ways to make your education and experience at TIES the best it can possibly be. After extensive market research we identified an opportunity to create a learning environment that is unique in Australia and even the world.

The TIES educational structure evolves around a four day week, allowing students to enjoy a 'long weekend' every week. Condensing our courses into intensive four day modules allows TIES students more opportunities to learn through cultural immersion. Click here for more information.

TIES courses are tailored to suit your needs and individual requirements. Once you have completed the enrolment process, TIES will send you a questionnaire that will provide us with information about your requirements. TIES courses provide many different pathways or 'choices waiting to be made'.

5Where will the other students come from?

TIES prides itself on the diversity of students who choose to study at our school. Students choose to study English at TIES because they want to immerse themselves in the experience of learning English. They don't want to be surrounded by people from the same nationality. They want to study in a truly international classroom.
