We understand that people lead busy lives, often juggling full time jobs and families, so leaving them to study abroad for long periods of time is not practical. We also appreciate that there is still a need for them to improve their English with experienced, fully qualified teachers at a British Council accredited school.
Our Online Classes with Tutorbranch have been developed to allow people to do exactly that. Students can choose to study as little or as much as they want at a time and place convenient to them. They can choose a purely online course or a blended course combining online with attendance at a traditional course at LILA*. The online classes provide a real-life lesson experience for students.
There is an interactive whiteboard, document sharing, online messenger and video chat, to allow students to have a completely interactive lesson with a LILA* teacher in real-time.
The times are arranged according to your availability (Monday to Friday).

Yin Liew Malaysia
studied English Teacher TrainingCourse review - CELTA at LILA Liverpool
LILA Liverpool has a team of professional and dedicated instructors for their CELTA teacher training course. We had access to all the facilities at the institution, and was well guided throughout the course. Although we were in the middle of the pandemic during the course and had to change the mode of instruction halfway during the course, we were kept engaged at all times, and at no time were we made to feel at a lost. All in all, it was a great effort by the team at LILA Liverpool. Thoroughly impressed.

Merian Mendieta Panama
studied General EnglishA valuable experience
I’m panamenian. I came to lila on September 23 of 2018, with a basic level of English, after my course, I went back to my country with an intermediate level of English. I have to said that the metodology is amazing , you speak all the day with people of other country’s about interesting topics, that made you improve and at the same time you can give your point of view. The Teacher will give you short homework , but it depends of you ! If you want to improve, you will do it !
I really enjoyed the differents activities with Students and also with teachers. We share a lots !
I’m pleased, good service , good teachers , good atmosphere , and I have to repeat NOW I speak a better English !!!!
Thanks Lila
