Example 1: English for younger students

You are 18 year-old student who has learnt some English at school to first intermediate level but has not previously visited the UK. You decide that, before going to college or university, you would like to stay with a family, study 20 hours per week for a month and experience some of London’s cultural activities.

Example 2: Business English

You are an employee who works for a multi-national company and would like to improve your business English. The course needs to be short but intense as you are very busy and can only spare one week away from work. The best course in this instance might be one-on-one tuition tailored to your specific needs and based in central London staying in a hotel.

Example 3: Gap year/career change

You are a student enjoying a gap year or somebody more mature seeking a career change who would like to spend some time in the UK learning English and also experience various cultural and sporting activities. You might also wish to take an examinable IELTS (or equivalent) course as an aid to your career. In this case the best option, if you have already visited London, might be a three-month programme based either in the north of England or Edinburgh which includes a sporting and/or cultural element. Accommodation could be either residential or homestay depending on your preference.

When you have decided on the type of course that would suit you and the dates that you would like to study English in the UK please complete the application form and return it with the administration fee of £85 via the PayPal secure payment system. We will then arrange your programme and advise you of all the details, including the total price. If you agree we will reserve your place and ask you to send full payment to secure the booking. However, if there is anything you are unhappy about please let us know and we make whatever changes you request to ensure that you get what you want. If you require a letter of enrolment from the school to apply for your visa please let us know.

Please note that we will need at least one calendar month’s notice from when we receive your completed application form until your course commencement date. This gives us the time to provide the best possible service and to arrange the package that best suits your needs.
