The London School of English Omdömen 

Timing and methodology of learning

I can wholeheartedly recommend an English course at the London School of English! From the onboarding process right through to the individual lessons, everything is organised in a highly professional manner. Lessons take place in small groups, which allows participants to speak frequently. The groups are very homogeneous and tailored to specific goals, thanks to the preliminary language proficiency assessments. The language teaching is very well structured from a pedagogical point of view, and the resources (books, videos, notes, etc.) are integrated into the lessons in a very effective way. In my view, this is a course I can wholeheartedly recommend. Our teacher, Douglas, did a brilliant job. I can well imagine attending another English language course at the London School of English.

I loved the school,the teachers,the contact with peaple from different countries,I was very well received and most importantly,I improve my english a lot!

I highly recommend the London School of English. I took the Legal English 20-30 course and learned a lot and enjoyed every minute! The organisation of the School was perfect and the staff was just lovely! I would especially recommend the homestay!

The classes were engaging, well-organized, and conducted in a friendly atmosphere that encouraged participation and learning.

Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend both the teacher and the course.

A very good teacher, patient and skilled at teaching

I had a nice experience with the London School of English.l highly recommend with everyone looking for high quality English education.

Our teacher Alex created a great and open atmosphere. Thanks a lot!

I really liked the school's atmosphere, the students, and the teachers. It is a welcoming school for students aged 30+.

That is my second time in LSE, and really glad to be here again. Great classrooms, delicious food and experienced teacher! Thank you Alex for being an exceptional mentor for me. Also, Christina and Mandy were very helpful whenever needed. See you next year!

La scuola é ottima e organizzata molto bene , dipende con quale insegnante capiti.

The premises are very modern and beautifully furnished, everything you need for studying is provided. The whole team is very knowledgeable and friendly, and is always on hand to answer any questions.

I had a great experience in the London school of English. The classes were very well planned and developed. The teacher was excellent.

The course at this school was incredibly expensive. They market themselves as an elite institution, but the teaching quality is shockingly low. For me, this trip was a major financial commitment that I worked for months to afford. Instead of feeling like a valuable investment in my future, I left with deep regret over how much money was wasted.
The school’s curriculum completely ignores modern research on how the human brain actually learns. On an intensive course (with both morning and afternoon sessions), we spent the entire week hammering just two grammar points, repeating the exact same monotonous exercises over and over. Worse still, despite being placed in an Advanced C1 level group (the second-best group in the school), a huge portion of class time was wasted on primitive games and basic vocabulary. I honestly feel I learn more during a single 1.5-hour lesson back in my home country than I did here during a whole week of "intensive" study.
The academic oversight and quality control were equally disappointing. When advanced nuances of punctuation came up, they were either brushed aside or met with blatant errors. For instance, when I asked about a complex sentence that contained both an Oxford comma and a standard comma before 'and' separating an independent clause, the teacher didn’t even understand what I was asking—or perhaps deliberately chose not to understand to avoid explaining its correctness. Similarly, I was told that a perfectly valid advanced structure using participle clauses, like "Walking down the street, not having much time, I saw a jacket," was grammatically incorrect. For a premium price, you expect flawless academic standards, not a situation where classroom guidance feels completely unreliable. In fact, instead of burning cash on this course, you would be far better off spending a tiny fraction of that money on a premium AI assistant. A paid AI chatbot explains advanced language nuances much better, designs tailored study plans, and is a significantly wiser investment because it is cheaper and actually helps you learn much faster.
The teaching standards on one particular day were completely unacceptable. We took a test, only to be told to self-grade it using an answer key. When several students struggled to understand the listening section—even after looking at the transcript—the teacher flatly refused to explain the reasoning. He rudely stated that he 'would not argue' and that if we didn't agree, he wasn’t going to waste time trying to convince us. I actually had to rely on a fellow classmate to explain my mistakes, which is absurd considering we paid for professional tuition. Later, for a writing task, our work was hung around the room for peer review. Whenever anyone had a doubt, the teacher treated it superficially, shutting us down with a rigid 'because that's just how it is' attitude. It created a hostile, lazy, and completely unproductive learning environment.

The classroom atmosphere was highly discouraging due to the teacher's patronizing attitude. He repeatedly targeted my remarks and questions, labeling them as 'convoluted' in a clear attempt to diminish my standing in front of my peers. Rather than facilitating a mature C1-level debate, he chose to deflect and put me down, creating an environment where asking analytical questions was treated as a flaw rather than a strength. This defensive and dismissive behavior is completely unprofessional for an educator at this level.
To top it all off, the school has an absurd policy where textbooks must remain in the classroom. We were expected to copy exercises into our notebooks, but there was never enough time during class to do so. Consequently, you are left with absolutely no materials to review what was covered in the evening.
The only saving grace of the entire experience was the food. The lunches provided by the school are absolutely superb, all thanks to the two fantastic chefs who do an amazing job every day.
However, you don't pay elite tuition fees just for great catering. Unless you have money to burn and don't care about making real linguistic progress, I highly recommend looking elsewhere. Easily my worst financial investment in years.

Before the course starting, determination of level was weak.
