The River Clyde is only a 5 minute walk from the school and students can arrive at most of the major attractions in the city within 20 minutes.
Course selection: The variety of courses supplied by Live Language English School is substantial, ranging from General English (suitable for all levels) and Exam Preparation (IELTS, FCE CAE) to Academic Preparation courses for University. Live Language is also an exam centre for the Cambridge Exams.
Additional information: Live Language English School in Glasgow strives to make students feel at home whilst studying on their student-centred programmes. Courses are available from a very beginner level through to university preparation and university entry courses, ensuring there is something available for everyone.

Getting there: Glasgow is serviced by two airports: Glasgow International Airport (GLA) and Glasgow Prestwick Airport (PIK). The closest to the city centre, and the school, is Glasgow Airport which has an Airport Express service which takes you straight to the area where Live Language is located in 25 minutes. The Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is also only just over an hour away and there is a direct bus line from the airport to Glasgow’s Buchanan Bus Station which is a 10 minute walk from the school.

“Quality of the teaching. The teacher was excellent. The classes were always very well planned and organised. After each exercise, it was made clear what was trained and what the point was. Each week, there was a test. So, you could see quickly the progress you had made. Most of the exercises were carried out in groups, so we used the language all the time. The exercises were not unilateral, just the opposite, they were always varying. You never knew what would come next, it was never boring.”
