Testimonials
At The English Studio we aim to go above and beyond for our students offering
academic excellence in our English courses and an exceptional student experience
on their learning journey. But don’t just take our word for it, here’s what some of
our students have to say:
Baha | TUNISIA
I was torn between studying in the USA and Ireland but ultimately, I decided
to come to Ireland. I still had reservations but when I arrived I was pleasantly
surprised with Dublin. I could not believe how multi-cultural and cosmopolitan the
city is. I started in Elementary. I didn’t have much English at all but after six months
of focus and working hard on my language, I am in upper intermediate.
Carlos | BRAZIL
This is my second time in London to study English, and I can say that The English
Studio goes above my expectations, the teachers are great, but what I like most was
the warm welcome on the first day.
Ruggero | ITALY
I first came here two years ago on a summer programme. I am 21 years old now
and I wanted to come back so much to enjoy Dublin as an adult especially the
pubs, nightlife and Guinness because I couldn’t enjoy that before.
Manuela | COLOMBIA
I really enjoy meeting people from all around the world and learning from their
different cultures. I can do that here at The English Studio. The school has a central
location in London but the most important thing at The English Studio is the
teachers who help me to improve my English.
6 | londonbookings@englishstudio.com • dublinbookings@englishstudio.com
Abdullah | SAUDI ARABIA
I have been studying English at The English Studio for the last 9 months. I have
become regularly involved in the school’s social programme and extra activities.
I love my class and my teachers. I have really enjoyed my experience in the college
and in Dublin in general and I would recommend it to anyone. It is a great thing
to do.
Cristina | SPAIN
One thing I like about studying at The English Studio is it’s great location. It allows
me to go anywhere in London within a short time. I also like getting to meet people
from different countries while learning English. And finally, the teachers are really
helpful and make sure the classes are lots of fun.
Alexandra | RUSSIA
It is the third year in a row that I have come to London to study at The English
Studio. It gives me a great opportunity not only to study English but meet people
from all over the world. The atmosphere in the classrooms is always positive and
friendly and the teachers are great and willing to help which makes it impossible to
not make progress.
Anna | RUSSIA
I am 23 and was working in pharmaceuticals in Moscow. I need English for my job
because my company uses English every day. I’m speechless. I had no expectations
of Ireland. I didn’t think it would be so modern, but it feels like a friendly village.
Muhaned | SAUDI ARABIA
This course is great, I really enjoy the time learning more of the English Language
with my teachers at The English Studio. Their classes are amazing. They make class
fun by giving us one day grammar and the next day listening, so we mix it up and
learn a lot in class.

Mike Mooney | DEPUTY ACADEMIC DIRECTOR. THE ENGLISH STUDIO LONDON
At The English Studio, it’s the little things that make all the difference. While the most
important part of a student’s course is their English classes and learning, we think they
deserve even more. That’s why we’ve added a few little add-ons. Available outside timetabled
classes, we think these extras add up to make our students’ experience extraordinary.

At The English Studio we love cake quite simply because cake gets people talking.
Whether students are looking to enjoy more cultural traditions, need to feel part of the family at a end of the week or
are looking to meet new friends ahead of the weekend, we deliver free cake to each classroom every Friday, to celebrate
our students and another great day at school and to get conversations started.
www.englishstudio.com | 11THE ENGLISH STUDIO LIVE
Our students tell us that some of their most memorable moments while studying with us come from being
immersed into a new culture. For this reason, through The English Studio LIVE we send a student from London
and Dublin to experience a live event in the city each month.
Our teachers nominate students they feel are the most hard-working or improved, those that have achieved outstanding
results or contributed significantly in the classroom. Nominated students are entered into a prize draw and the lucky
winner will get the chance to attend a music concert, world-famous sporting event or box-office hit theatre show.
Students in 2018 attended concerts including Beyoncé and Jay-Z, The Rolling Stones, Bruno Mars, The Script and
many more.
Paola | COLOMBIA
Thank you to The English Studio for this amazing opportunity! The Bruno Mars concert was
one of my best experiences that I ever had! My friend and I enjoyed every moment with joy
and happiness. I will never forget this memory, because this singer is one of my favourites
and it was powerful to feel each song in my heart and in my soul!
12 | londonbookings@englishstudio.com • dublinbookings@englishstudio.comThe Social Programme
At the heart of The English Studio’s social programme is our desire to give
students an opportunity to meet their classmates outside of lessons to practise
their English, make friends and most importantly to have fun!
Every week, a schedule of sightseeing, cultural and leisure activities is organised so there's something for everyone
to take part in and enjoy. We know that many of our students are managing a tight budget, so our informed and
experienced staff will seek out the best activities for day or night that are completely free or suit any pocket.
Even though there is so much to do in the city, we recommend that our students, whether in London or Dublin, go further
and explore the rest of the country during their stay. We arrange regular day trips led by The English Studio staff or
organised through other providers that we work with.
Both England and Ireland can serve as a gateway to the rest of Europe. For students studying with us for longer from
other continents, they will find plenty of flights available for city breaks, sporting adventures or a weekend at the beach.
Our team will be happy to advise students looking to plan a trip further afield.
Kenny Moynihan | HEAD OF STUDENT SERVICES. THE ENGLISH STUDIO DUBLIN
We know students want more than an English lesson, they want to have an experience.
The focus of our programme is on cultural understanding of the city and country. Each
month, we update our programme to include one-off events which you won't find anywhere
else in the country. We also include a mixture of fee-paying and free activities to match our
students' budgets.

Jim Birrell | MANAGING DIRECTOR. THE ENGLISH STUDIO
Students often ask me – why London? For me it’s easy, London has to be one of the most
exciting, fast-paced and vibrant cities in the world. But don’t just take my word for it, London
frequently appears top in polls as being the most highly rated study and travel destination
globally. Whether it’s history, culture, markets or music that excite you, London has it all. I’ve
lived here for 5 years and I’m still exploring and meeting new people every day; it really is an
inspiring city!
16 | londonbookings@englishstudio.com • dublinbookings@englishstudio.comThe energy and excitement of London is simply impossible to put into words.
Whatever our students are looking to experience during their studies, they will
find it here; from museums and art galleries to music concerts and sports events.
And for those after a slower pace of life at the weekend, traditional English
villages, historic cities and seaside resorts are just a short journey by train.
While London can be an expensive city, there are plenty of amazing things to do for free or on a budget. Most museums
are open free to the public and London is home to lots of green spaces for walks and outdoor fun.
Further afield, a day trip to the coast is only an hour by train to Brighton and those interested in seeing life at a
traditional English university or school can visit Oxford or Cambridge for the day — or even Hogwarts at the Harry
Potter Studio Tour just outside London.

Louise Guyett | HEAD OF SCHOOL. THE ENGLISH STUDIO DUBLIN
So, what do I like most about Dublin? The people here are friendly, ready to help and always
in the mood for a chat! There’s something for everyone here whether you like live music, sport,
theatre or art, and we have loads of different festivals throughout the year too. Dublin is
over 1000 years old, so it’s steeped in history and there is always something new to discover.
What I also love about this city is that on one side there’s the sea and on the other side the
countryside, so for students who like outdoor activities, there is so much to choose from.
18 | londonbookings@englishstudio.com • dublinbookings@englishstudio.comDublin offers the culture, cuisine and modern luxuries that our students would
expect from a cosmopolitan city whilst retaining the infamous Irish charm.
Whilst Ireland has many sights to visit all easily accessible from the city.
On our doorstep there is an array of diverse museums, art galleries and theatres as well as a world of delicious cuisine to
be explored. With foods that span continents and countries you can choose from eating experiences that range from fine
dining to the buzzing atmosphere of tapas. And anyone looking for a traditional experience during their studies can’t miss
out on a game of Gaelic football at Croke Park.
For the weekend, students will find a variety of historic and beautiful places to visit outside the city such as the Cliffs of Moher,
Glendalough, and for TV fans take a trip north and visit the iconic sets of Game of Thrones from the Iron Islands to Winterfell.

Nicoletta | ITALY
Studying with my daughter was very important. At 13 she wasn’t interested in studying during
the summer but, having her mother attending the same school made it easier and she
understood how important it is to learn English. It was exciting to share our experiences,
attending school in the morning and visiting London in the afternoon, all this helps to make
the kids open-minded! Thanks to The English Studio, where we went for the second year in a
row, Margherita has learned a lot, had fun, and now she is able to speak and understand a
lot. An experience that I recommend to everyone.
