AG Mate Academy is located in the heart
of Sydney, and is only a 5 minute walk from the Sydney Opera House and
Harbour Bridge. We are close to libraries, cinemas, art galleries,
restaurants and thousands of shops. The school is easily accessible by
bus, train and ferry from all parts of Sydney. At present, our student
population totals over 100, and is rising at a constant and steady
rate. People ranging from 14 - 28 years of age come from South
America, Europe and Asia to study English at AG Mate.
AG Mate Academy offers a number
of courses, all taught by qualified and experienced teachers, across
six levels ranging from Beginner to Advanced. Class sizes range from 8

Our school runs English conversation courses and ELICOS (English
Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students). For students with
Tourist Visas or Working Holiday Visas, The English for Second
Language Course (ESL) is available full-time or part-time.
In the
mornings, the students study General English from 9.00am-12.15 pm, and
in the afternoons from 1.00pm-3.00pm they study Academic English (TOEFL,
IELTS, Cambridge), or Communicative / Conversational English. There is
also the option of private one-to-one tuition with any one of our
fully accredited teaching staff.
Advanced Matters (English for
Academic Studies)
This course has been designed for students who wish to attend a
tertiary level of study, such as University or College, or further
their English study at a higher level. Students will learn research
methods and essay writing on a variety of topics
Examination Preparation
Courses
AG Mate also offers students the
opportunity to be specially prepared for internationally recognized
exams, such as IELTS, TOEFL and The Cambridge Test. Lessons are
structured in three steps
High School Preparation
Course
This course is
aimed at preparing younger students for Australian English-speaking
high schools. Afternoon classes from 1-3pm focus on basic areas, which
assist students in their high school studies. For students who
have tourist visas and travel in groups we offer an English for
Vacations program, which allows students to combine both study and
pleasure, in order to broaden their cultural experience in Australia.
Our General English courses from 9.00am-12.15pm enable students to
develop the necessary grammatical and communicative skills necessary
for everyday life in an English-speaking society. In the afternoon
they can practise what they have studied in a cultural leisure
activity in Sydney such as Sydney Harbour by ferry or Surfing Lessons.

Accommodation
Upon
request, AG Mate Academy is able to arrange three different types of
accommodation. Students can stay with an Australian family (Homestay).
Staying with a Homestay family offers room, breakfast and dinner in the
home of an Australian family, plus lunch Saturday and Sunday, for $AU190
per week. It is a good, safe alternative which we recommend to younger
students or to those arriving in Sydney for the first time.
Some students prefer to be more independent and rent private rooms
($AU80-140) or share an apartment. Our notice board usually has messages
from people looking for a person to share a house/apartment with.
If you want cheap backpacker-style accommodation while looking for a
private room, we have two alternatives - one is newly renovated and
within walking distance to the city - the other is across the Harbour
Bridge.
For the arrangement of Accommodation, a Booking Fee of A$150 applies.

Academy or Sydney in general, please E-mail us, and ask for one of our
comprehensive brochures.
