"A good school to start learning english or to make a refresh"

Marcel Stäheli, student from Switzerland

the level of the class was very different. I suspect that the school has too few classes to divide the students according to level.

"It feels like back to school!"

Sven Mueller, student from Germany

I had a F2F training with 16 lessons. Unfortunately, my expectation was not reached, because of missing flexibility, individual adjustments and themes or focus on my weaknesses in usage the language. The lessons were structured as a school book and it seems that the trainer have to follow a plan. This plan wasn´t adjustable in my understanding. Also, to change for a lesson the location for more practicable or daily situation wasn´t possible.
At the end I didn´t get a feedback. Which areas of the usage the language are good or in which I have to focus more.

The teacher was definitely very well educated and also very calm and had a lot of passion with me. Great

The organization was far away from perfect. I had requested my schedule for lessons, the Thursday before I was arriving Milton Keynes. But it wasn´t finalized, my time proposals were complete ignored, because no other chance to get my lessons. So I had to change my business time schedule. That´s ok, but not perfect.

Honestly I´m very open and flexible, but this was not better as in my last school years. Sorry to say.
Should someone have been interested for more, please contact me.

"It has been a couple of intense but enriching weeks in which I have improved my English."

Álvaro Hernández, student from Spain

My assessment is positive. The teachers are very serious and professional, the redundancy is worth it, and the classes are very well prepared. In the classes there is a small number of students, which is welcome (between 3 and 10 students). Very nice and multi-national classmates, which make cultural classes much more enriching. As for the facilities, the academy is like inside a church, something that is a bit weird and it is hard to find it once inside the church, Although the classrooms are fine.

The first few days cost me a little because my writing and grammar level is better than listening and speaking. In the written assessment test they put me at an intermediate level but when it came to understanding and speaking I could barely keep up with the class. I tried a change at a lower level but he told me that there was not and that he endured at that level, that it would improve. I think if I improved even though I still think that my group was too tall for me.

"Educational fun with lovely classmates and teachers"

Slynrya Kongyoo, student from Thailand

The course I studied was Upper Intermediate and some Advanced classes. The classes were mostly fun and educational with few students, so teachers would give us full attention. I studied for 3 months during summer (June-Sep2018) so there were many students come and go ( sometimes I was alone in the class like private class) My favorite teachers are Claire and Andy. Claire‘s teaching was interesting with stories related to British culture and English‘s expression, also easy-understanding description for an advanced grammar. Andy‘s teaching was humorous, he has many expression to explain what is right or wrong, he wouldn't let go of mistakes and tried to improve your mistakes of grammar‘s error , which was very helpful. The staffs were quite helpful as they can. The building was clean and located in the centre area, opposite to Mark&Spencer. I barely had any unimpressive experience, except the toilet, which is hard to flush away.
(Ps. For 3 months I studied there, there wasn't any social activity.)

"Good atmosphere and concentrated learning"

Gyula Biró, student from Hungary

It is a good idea to place a language school in a church. It increases confidence, especially when transferring the course fee. The school's inner environment is quite puritanical. There are no modern educational tools, no computer board, no projector, no bearer. The sound technology is poor. That is why teachers need to write a lot and quickly. This is physically burdensome.
But teachers are very good: most of them are patient, helpful, but they are passionate about it.
Overall, the three week course was very useful to me. In the beginning it was difficult for me because I was in the middle intermediate level and then I became intermediate at the end of the third week.
My English teacher in Budapest, who was born in English and said I had developed a lot.

Homestays are carefully selected and offer students the opportunity to learn more about the local culture in a comfortable setting while studying English in London. These homes are often between 25-50 minutes away from the school by public transport. Families usually offer affordable meal plans that allow you to sample the local cuisine. If you have special requests or diet restrictions (because of religion or health reasons), please let us know in advance. Students must be 18 years old and older.

Homestay is accommodation with an English speaking family. Students will have a room in the family and will live as part of the family for the duration of their stay. Homestay is not a "hotel" or "bed and breakfast" accommodation and students who stay in homestay must respect the rules of the family and treat the homestay family as they would their own.

Students should not book their ticket to travel to Milton Keynes unless they have arranged, booked and paid for their accommodation. Some students can arrange this accommodation themselves and some arrange to live with friends or relatives.
If students want us to help them find accommodation in Milton Keynes we can try to help; but please let us know in advance and do not travel to Milton Keynes if you do not have a confirmed booking of accommodation.
visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from ELH. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 100 when you register.
