Yamid, Colombia | GENERAL ENGLISH STUDENT IN LONDON
“I was recommended The English Studio by a friend who studied in
London 9-years ago.
My agency then confirmed it was a great school and I started my
course in August.
I chose the school as I wanted to learn English through shared
experiences with other international students.
In my class I found Brazilian, Moroccan, French and Spanish
students, all of whom I have learnt a lot from during lessons and in
my free time.”
Laís, Brazil | ENGLISH FOR BUSINESS STUDENT IN LONDON
“The school is amazing! I had the best teacher, who is so thoughtful
and tried to solve any of the students’ doubts.
The English for Business course is very focused and helped me a lot
with my pronunciation and general knowledge of the English language
as well as preparing me with skills for my career.
In addition to the English classes, the social events of the school are
great. They have a lot of free activities and vouchers or tickets to events.
All the staff is very kind and helpful, I felt very welcomed by everyone
at the school.”

Licia, Italy | IELTS EXAM PREPARATION STUDENT IN LONDON
“I needed to get an IELTS 6.5 for entrance into a UK university.
After checking my options online and reviews from previous
students at the school, I discussed with my agent about The
English Studio.
I am 2 weeks into my course where I study IELTS in the morning. My
teacher is amazing and has really helped me improve my writing, an
area I needed to focus.
I also study in class and at our residence with students preparing for
IELTS so I am a lot more confident now to achieve at my exam.”
Frances, Mexico | ACADEMIC YEAR STUDENT IN DUBLIN
“The English Studio in Dublin is a great school.
I studied English there for two years. All the teachers were amazing, and
taught the course with interesting methods, making for fun classes.
I never had any issues and for all the questions I had the team in student
support helped me promptly.”
Victor, Spain | YES ENGLISH & ACTIVITIES STUDENT IN LONDON
“I have come to The English Studio for the last 4 years with my
mum and sister.
My English is the best in our family, better than my mum’s!
I have enjoyed all the activities, making new friends and my teacher.
Our class is also really fun, a lot different to how we learn English
in Spain.”
