How we create the points regarding what we like/dislike about a school

Location: The school is located in the heart of London, on Oxford Street, one of Europe's busiest shopping streets, with around half a million daily visitors. Speak Up is very well connected with public transport to explore the London hotspots. The school is a 5-minute walk to Oxford Circus Tube Station which has connections to the Circle Line, Bakerloo Line and Victoria Line which will give students a very good base to explore the city. A 5-minute walk in the other direction will find students at Tottenham Court Road Tube which has links to the Circle Line and the Northern Line. For students who prefer to take in the sites by foot a 20-minute walk south brings you to Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and the famous River Thames. A 30-minute stroll west of the school leads to Marble Arch and the wonderful Hyde Park for days when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Social and Cultural: For day trips out of the city, Oxford Circus Tube Station is 2 stops away from Charing Cross for trips to the South East of England, 3 stops away from St Pancreas for the Midlands and Eurostar as well as 2 stops from Victoria Station for trips to other Southern destinations.

School facilities: The school itself has 12 classrooms, a self-study and reading area with computers, Wi-Fi for perfecting your homework and learning from the day as well as a student lounge with TV to socialise and practise your English.
  • The language school Speak Up was founded in London, England UK in 2012.
  • Legal name / parent company: Speak Up London LTD
  • Tax registration ID: 8177068

Student opinions about Speak Up, London

Liked
There is an event called Friday drink (once every two weeks, free to join) organized by the school, that we just go out for a drink at a pub or bar. I was able to practice my speaking and communicate actively. There were also other events such as picnics, walking tours, and private parties where the teacher and classmates could have a BBQ or chat at a pub, so I felt that the equal relationship between teacher and student was also a good environment that made me want to learn English in a positive way. Another good point is that I could change classes according to my level. There was a simple test every Friday, and based on my score and the teacher's judgment, a student was recommended to move up to a higher class. I think they consider well that the money we paid was not wasted. We were able to ask for a change to a higher or lower class. All the teachers took my questions and concerns seriously and answered them.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss Registration is required at the reception on the first day. I want to tell you (I was one of them) because there were people who entered the school without knowing the time schedule and holidays. Basically, there are no classes on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, and there are classes every day on weekdays. You can also choose the days you can come every week for those who can not come for business reasons. For General English courses, you can choose from 9:00 am, 12:30 pm, 16:00 pm, and 19:00 pm at a general English course in a class of 3 hours per session (with a +15 minute break). I was taking two courses of test preparation course and General.

Excellent school, centrally located in Oxford Street. Very good atmosphere from the reception to the teachers to the head Fred Gordon, who always had an ear for questions or the postponement of an individual lesson. Only the afternoon activities could have been a bit more exciting and varied. Absolutely recommendable.

The atmosphere was great (thanks Antonella and Fred!). All the teachers I had. Jonathan, Andrew and especially Antigone. Also that there were smaller classes. There were never more than 8-10 of us.
Disliked
The social activities could have been more varied depending on the language level. I didn't find the textbook suitable for me (but it was very positive that the teachers brought in different teaching aids, independent of the book).

Quality of teaching / language progress: I attended classes in which three were few students, thanks to which I spoke a lot, and classes were flexibly adapted to our needs. After a two week course - I improved my pronunciation and gained more freedom in speaking.
