I’m on the academic team at The English Studio and it’s a really fulfilling job. The dedicated staff are great, and I love working in central London, but the best thing about it for me is meeting people from all over the world and helping our wonderful students achieve their goals.
I’ve been working at The English Studio for just over two years, and I really enjoy working at such a dynamic and friendly school. I’ve always had a keen interest in learning languages and decided to become a teacher to do something that was rewarding and never monotonous.

You can see our price list here. The price depends on what time you study (afternoon is cheaper than the morning) how many weeks you study (the price per hour decreases the more weeks you choose) and the type of course.
You can book your course online at https://englishstudio.force.com/ or by calling us on +44 (0)207 299 1700. You are also very welcome to book through one of our partners in your country.
You can book your course 1 year in advance or one day before or even on the day you start. We are a large school with lots of classes and levels so we will always have space for you.
You must pay the full fees before you start the course. When you book online, we will ask you for full payment. If you book in person at the schools, you can leave a deposit and pay the balance before you start your course. If you are applying for a visa, then we will ask you to pay a deposit before we send you the paperwork needed to make your application.
We recommend starting your course on a Monday as it’s the best day to start as the Teachers interview all new students to find out more about their level and what they want to achieve in the class. If you cannot start on Monday, we will do our best to arrange another starting day.
Sorry to say, but we can only give refunds in the case of visa refusal. For a refund due to visa refusal, you will need to send us the refusal letter stating the reasons for the refusal. See our terms and conditions for full details.
