Shammah Kids
The phonics based English training class consists of two classes in one. During the week, we reinforce the lessons students have learned at school, and we help them practice their vocabulary, dictation, and oral English. On Weekends, we use the Roots Phonics system to teach the student Phonics. Once the student feels confident in their reading skills, their pace of English learning dramatically accelerates.
High School Classes
Our unique training program integrates classroom instruction with out of class student practice. In the classroom, we combine vocabulary, phonics, and test element training. We believe the key to the success is learning in an English only environment, The ability to participate in this training environment helps to reinforce students instruction, and to prepare them for studying abroad.
University Classes
We offer both IELTS Training and TOEFL Training. Our in-depth courses will prepare students for either English exam. We will also give students guidance on which exam they should take. Our class sizes are small to allow more personal training with the instructors. We also offer one-on-one tutoring for accelerated training.
Adult Classes
This Class is focused on Conversation skills and “Survival English”. We teach Oral, Listening and Reading skills in a topic based class. As an example, we cover dining out in a foreign country, and learn about the culture, as well as vocabulary and phrases used in that situation. We also work on phonics in this class to help improve the student’s oral and reading skills.

Shammah runs a series of English camps every summer in Tai’an, Shandong prefecture. Tai’an is located about 2 hours south of Beijing by High-Speed Rail. Tai’an is famous for Mt. Tai and the Dai temple, both of which share an important place in the history of Chinese culture. Beyond that, the mountain setting gives us a perfect, secluded and safe area in which to host our camps. The camps typically run from Sunday afternoon to Saturday morning, 7 days and 6 nights. After the camp is over we travel to Beijing, where we will have a few days to sightsee and shop. Some of the highlights of the Beijing trip are: visiting the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Square, and the Forbidden City. The time commitment is about 2 weeks. You should plan on arriving a few days before camp starts and stay for about 4 days after camp is over for sightseeing. Of course travel time, 3 days round trip.
