The London School of English Reviews

I spent four months at the school on the General English Course and listened to materials at the B2+ and C1 levels. Without a doubt, this school is the best place for total language immersion. Exceptional service. The quality of teaching, technical equipment, and the process of knowledge "ironing in" are of a golden standard. Throughout the day, information bombards you through all sensory organs, rhythmically changing the load. The first three months within these walls were the most remarkable in my life in the UK after my sudden move from my home country. A complete reboot. I involuntarily felt the truth of the scientific statement from the famous movie "Arrival" that when you immerse yourself in a foreign language you rewire your brain. In other words, the school gave me much more than knowledge. Every day, I ascended the entrance stairs with a humorously altered expression, "Home, I am honey." Unfortunately, the desire to attend the school's IELTS and Academic Writing courses, which are essential for me, remains my biggest dream and pain, unfulfilled so far. Therefore, everything I write below and above would easily be spoken by me; you would hear my pronunciation, fluency, and coherent speech. I would ace the "check the boxes" test with more than 85 percent, but I'm still handwriting with the help of AI. Despite decades spent studying the language and numerous relocations around the world where it was regularly used, these non-stop lessons shifted me higher from a "confident user" plateau. Thanks to improved by LSE skills, now I have fewer issues as a temporary resident in the UK. I negotiate on any matter related to my child, attend parent-teacher meetings at my daughter's British school, communicate with the school directly. I also independently tackle and resolve any difficulties with representatives of government organizations and adjust where almost all Britons do over several generations. And I flawlessly understand the guide leading me up the 330+ steps of the spiral staircase in the Big Ben tower. The school provides care and patronage to students in any difficulty they may encounter outside of studying. The welcoming office ladies are like fairy godmothers. For resident students, the school's teachers provide answers to any questions as if they were family members—priceless. This is because in England, the rule is "There is a network of locks behind an open door"… This is a true home—a dear home that you'll miss for a long time. Here, they feed you deliciously and wrap you in care, give gifts for holidays, orient you to current events in London, and present diplomas at a special ceremony every week. Students—school guests—make a significant contribution. The strongest students are all in one place! Meeting so many motivated, academically strong students of various ages and professions from all over the world in one classroom is an incredible pleasure. My class was constantly led by up to 10 teachers for a few days or hours - all very strong educators. I consider three of my regular teachers to be geniuses with hearts of gold. One of the geniuses is generous in spirit and the desire to care for students on a saintly scale. The native speaker teachers have vast experience working with foreign students. Sometimes, there was so much information that I looked for a corner to meditate or take a brief nap. If in Ukraine the same unit is studied for a month in an English school or a university course, here in LSE the same unit and additional materials are covered in a week. They teach you and make corrections as they discover gaps in your knowledge in both group and individual sessions. The size of the classrooms, interactive boards, lighting, ventilation, color and design solutions, restrooms, the quality of every item you touch—it's all superb. The technical support team's attitude towards people and their work, the speed at which any issues are resolved—all of this is done at warp speed. I cannot name anything that needs improvement at the school. Everything is excellent. I love it and miss it.
