“Lessons in the morning and willingness of the school to change host family as with the first family there were a few problems.”
Insider tip: “Avoid taking classes in the afternoon for the intensive course. Because no one is divided into appropriate levels but we were all together. This was not beneficial to the study of the language.”

Other comments: The school is located in a very quiet area, well connected by bus and train to the center of London. Morning classes are structured very well.

Insider tip: “Of course, I absolutely advise to buy an Oyster card (7 day travel card) because it's much cheaper. Also try to practice your English with other students. Speak ONLY English even if there are other students from your country in your class. It will help you to speak more fluently in the future.”

“The courses were fun, and allowed you to socialize with students of other nationalities. The teachers used an interactive method that allowed you to revise the new skills learned. I found a great openness and a great availability. The classes were comfortable, no one felt different, moreover, there was no laughing and joking about the errors of the individual. The activities were well organized. Learn to discover and love the English language. The school became the family and developed a great relationship with all.”

Student reviews about Homestay
Aleksandra
"Too loud in the evenings. The owners watched TV loudly and commented without paying attention to the guests. They were sitting in the room without door next to guests' bedrooms. They seemed not to care about other people at home even they got money for it. The meals usually were at about 6 or 7 o'clock for instance 2 sausages or something. cold. The host lady after my remark that I couldn't sleep at 20 minutes to 11 pm answered she was at her house. She made me apologise her though I didn't feel guilty but I guess she would throw us out if didn't do it.
Aldona
"There was no place to relax in the room apart from the bed, no TV. It was noisy in the evening (loud TV, hosts' talks till 10:30). The dinner was often cold and poor quality.
Kolos
"I had the best host family I could imagine. The family members were really nice to me and always prepared a very delicious dish for me.

Questions and answers about Centre of English Studies (CES)
Could your school provide an offer letter that includes the CAS number and sponsor license information to support my visa application for a 4-week short-term student visa?
“We don't have a CAS number, and we don't have a sponsor license number, but the letter is enough for our students to get the visa, given that they meet the requirements.
For a 4-week course, though, you can only apply for a standard visitor visa. For a short-term study visa, you need to book 26 weeks or more. ”
