EC London

"One of the first results on the query ""English courses abroad"" was linguatrip wesite, that is how I found a website and booked a 3 weeks course at EC London school. I used the service ""assistance in getting a visa"" to get it for sure and began to get ready for the trip. 24/7 support, including answers for all the questions and all sorts of useful tips - this is all about linguatrip team.

The whole process from preparing the documents to getting a visa took about 3 weeks and I still had around a month before the start of my trip. Up to that moment I had been sent all the data about my host family. Before arriving in London, I contacted them to make sure they were waiting for me and I received a positive response.

To determine the level of English you need to pass a placement test before the start of learning in school, this can be done online following the link that the school will send you to your email address.

I got from Heathrow Airport to my accommodation on my own, it is convenient because there is a metro station right at the airport and it is easy to get to the city center. Yet it is quite expensive to travel in London by taxi/uber and I decided to save some money having chosen public transportation when moving to / from the airport /. Staying in my host family included breakfast and in the morning I was allowed to use everything that was in the fridge and cook myself as all family members went to work early in the morning.

There are two types of schedules in the school: in the first case, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday you study in the morning and lessons last until13:00, but if you have an intensive course, classes finish at 15:30, on other weekdays classes start at lunchtime and last until 18:00. In the second case, students study in the morning on Tuesday and Thursday, and in the second part of the day on other weekdays. There are 10-13 students in the group, teachers try to find an individual approach to every student. The topics of the classes are currently actual, we talked about politics, economics, sport, culture, etc. The methodology of teaching in the EC is built on the constant interaction of students with the teacher and students with students.

The learning process took place in spacious cozy classrooms. The only drawback was workplaces, they are too small and you will have to choose to put either a book or a cup of coffee on the desk. The location of the school is very convenient, just a minute walk from the metro station. Every week the school sends list of events that will take place next week. To join the event you are interested in, you can just go to school reception and say that you are interested in a particular event and you will be recorded in the list of participants.

My trip was very productive, interesting and unforgettable. I advise everyone to use linguatrip when registering for a course in the language school. Do not think to go,just go, as I did it;)"

I liked everything very much, thank you!

A wonderful host family, which provided a comfortable environment accommodation.

The teachers are very good, interesting, unusual, very pleasant atmosphere at the lessons, never was boring or

not interesting. Well, London itself is beautiful, i visited a lot of places, i see all the interesting sights, museums, parks.

We will keep cooperate with you, thanks to Linguatrip!

School is good, teachers are great and high qualified.

But i recommend you to take an intensive course if you want to improve your language skills.

Big thanks to Linguatrip!

I'm satisfied with a trip. As some classes were boring all depended on the teachers: with some teachers classes were fascinating and useful, with others just useful)

The organization of my trip was excellent, you are great fellows, guys! I'm thankful to Catherine particularly for her help)

A lot of people from my country recommended EC School and that is why I chose this English school in London.

I like the most the way they teach. Before I came here I was worried that some of the lessons will be boring, but it wasn’t like that at all. In every lesson we played some games. Also they were always happy and made a lot of jokes.

My most unforgettable memory of EC is to meet a lot of people from all over the world. Also to find a lot of new friends. And for sure the free time activities like Zoo bar and shoreditch Food Market form the Social Programme.

For sure I will recommend EC to a friend, because I learned a lot and the teachers and students are very friendly.

I love EC! London is the best place to study! We went with friends, everything was on top! School is super!

I really enjoy my stay with EC and it'a a really competent school

EC London is in my eyes a great school! The team is super organized and cool, they are at all times so helpful! I was surprised about how much they really care about you, when you have a problem they directly try to solve it.

Same goes for the teachers … they teach in a very playful way and they want you to take as much home as possible, not just new language skills but also good memories. All in all I can put my thumbs up and give 5 big sparkling stars for EC London! Thanks for the great time I had!

Overall, I'm more than happy with the trip! London is a beautiful and vibrant city, surrounded by palm trees and flowers. The school was next to the metro station, which can be accurately attributed to the advantages of living for those who live in a host family.

The EC school operates at a business center where not only every teacher or employee will treat you with attention and help solve a problem, but this is also a safe place, since it is well guarded.

Of the pros, I can definitely name: the excellent technical equipment of classes and schools in general, comfortable good furniture, everything is clean and there is Wi-FI. No person here speaks Russian, in addition, I was the only Russian speaker in my class. Everyone knows one or two other languages, but this is not a barrier, for me it's the other way around - it's a motivation, because my goal was to practice language knowledge in a natural environment, learn to express my thoughts and speak more freely, which, I think, to me It was possible to achieve. In addition to a total immersion in culture and language, there were a lot of interesting activities at school and outside, which could be visited outside the classroom, which was sent to the mail every Friday.
