General English Testimonial

I really enjoyed the teacher, Mr Ahmed Arafa, who is an excellent teacher. I learnt a lot with him. Thus, my self confidence when speaking English has really increased with him and I really felt that I improved my English skills. Moreover, I liked the school, its location (Covent Garden), the building and the cafeteria were clean and very well organized, as well as the classes which were perfect and not too crowded with students. I also liked all the staff, including my schoolmates and the baristas who were really friendly.

Furthermore, I really enjoyed to participating in the Social Programme activities with James, who I thank a lot, which made my learning process more interesting and inclusive.

Sincerely, I would love to come back again for another English class, as soon as possible.

Japanese Testimonial

Wanted to pick up Japanese again after a 10 year hiatus. Aya-sensei is the kindest teacher I’ve ever learned with, with a great mix of learning about Japanese culture through her own adventures and actually learning the language.

IHL website is very user friendly and it was great to have a self-assessment to check which level I should start with as I had leftovers of knowledge from past lessons. Highly recommend!

IELTS Preparation Testimonial

I studied with International House for the second time and I have been always satisfied with it. The course was well structured and the teacher was professional, prompting us to do better and challenge ourselves, providing tips on how to improve our English, to manage the IELTs tasks, going in detail for each part of the exam. I feel I have more knowledge and I am more confident that with practice I could pass the test and get the result that I would like.
The money I spent was a good investment.

Executive Centre Testimonial

I highly appreciated the excellent quality of the school. In particular, they have an exclusive area dedicated to adults and professionals, as well as a floor of the building with a dedicated lounge for adult students. The teachers are competent and prepared. I had individual lessons on HR topics for two weeks and I really appreciated the fact that the teacher introduced me to some other students in the first week, so that I could socialize and spend free time with them. The guided tours organized by the school in their free time are also very interesting. I found all of the school staff and organization very efficient and helpful. Lastly, its location in Covent Garden adds to its appeal. I would highly recommend this school!

General English Testimonial

The people in IH are very warm and friendly and that is great motivation to study. Also, the teachers have very good teaching methods which makes the staying here an amazing experience!

Sofia

Young Learner Testimonial

I contacted this school because another one was very unhelpful and the time was running very short before summer holidays. I was in contact with Naimah and she was great. Friendly, very helpful and reactive. She found suitable classes for both of my kids (9 and 14) and booked everything easily. They spent 2 weeks at their Frensham school and absolutely loved it. Great people working there with kids, great facilities and super ambiance in general. My kids made lots of friends, did not want to leave and are already planning to go back next year. And most importantly I saw a great improvement in their English! Recommend!

CELTA Testimonial

I had a brilliant time on the CELTA at International House London. I was amazed by how much I learnt in such a short space of time. The Trainers (Jonathan Spalton & Steve Ferrera) were excellent. The students at IH London were all lovely, supportive and super-engaged. The content, delivery and structure of the course was an excellent introduction to EFL teaching, building up your confidences in the classroom and gets you well-prepared for the first day of the job. I would highly recommend!

CELTA Testimonial

I completed the CELTA course at IH London, and I must say it was a transformative experience. The course is intense, but the knowledge and skills gained are invaluable. The trainers were highly experienced and supportive, guiding us through every aspect of English language teaching.

The course structure, which includes observed teaching practice, feedback sessions, and input sessions, provided a well-rounded learning experience. It helped me develop effective teaching techniques, lesson planning skills, and a deeper understanding of language teaching methodologies.

IH London’s resources and facilities were top-notch, offering a conducive environment for learning. The camaraderie among fellow trainees added to the overall positive experience.

The CELTA course at IH London is an excellent choice for anyone looking to pursue a career in English language teaching. It’s rigorous, but the confidence and knowledge gained are worth the effort. I highly recommend it.

Shakhzoda

Doing CELTA course with IH London was extremely useful for me, even though I am an experienced English teacher. My knowledge was systemized and deeply expanded, I became more confident as a teacher and changes some things in my classes after doing the course. Thank you for this experience
