Learn English as you Explore London 

 

This course is designed for International adults age 30 and over, who want to learn or improve their English, while exploring London and making new friends from all over the world. 

Lessons are based in the Executive Centre, on the top floor of our school, with a stunning panoramic view of London. You will have access to the exclusive networking events and lunches hosted in the Executive Centre, and a dedicated Academic Manager. 

Lessons are very focused and funny at the same time, very professional. I also really appreciate the location at Covent Garden in the centre of London.
