About the instructor
Utopia Learning Centre
Language Learning School
<p>Utopia Language Training (ULT), also known as Utopia Learning Centre, was officially launched on 18 October 2022 at the British Embassy in Addis Ababa.</p>
<p>The founding of ULT was caused by the sudden closure of British Council Ethiopia’s Teaching Centre. Immediately after the closure, one of the teachers of the British Council, Mr. Tesfaye Weldemedhin, founded ULT and invited most of his former British Council colleagues.</p>
<p>The centre currently provides tailor-made courses for kids and adults. The English language courses are offered from Beginner to Advanced levels – according to the Common European Framework of References for Languages (CEFR) to the public (individual customers) and corporate clients. It also provides professional skills courses in a range of topics and levels to its corporate clients. In addition, it runs exams preparation courses for those who want to study and/or work overseas as well as Young Learners courses for kids from the age of 6 through 13. These courses are delivered in various options: in-person, online, blended, and hybrid. The in-person courses are run intensively or extensively in its premises and in the clients’ premises.</p>
<p>To this point, it has had corporate contracts with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Bank of Abyssinia, The Pharo Foundation, French Development Agency (AFD), Awash Wine S.C., Belgium Embassy, The Embassy of Mozambique, GIZ Ethiopia, Union Academy, The Hunger Project, Mercy Corps Ethiopia, National Tobacco Enterprise (also known as Japan Tobacco International – JTI), and International Labour Organisation (ILO). It delivered professional skills, teacher training, and English language courses and developed English language teaching materials.</p>
<p>It currently has 95 adult learners in its General English programme and 47 kids in its English for Life Young Learner Programme.</p>
<p>All its courses are premium – quality products with highly qualified teachers and trainers.</p>
<p>It currently has eight teachers and trainers – all of which are UK-qualified and have worked for the British Council as Teachers, Teacher Trainers, Consultants, English Language Materials Developers, and Professional Skills Trainers for several years. It also has 4 support staff members who do the customer service, marketing, finance, and cleaning works.</p>
<p>It has two bright and spacious classrooms equipped with quality facilities and teaching resources.</p>
