studied English Exam PreparationOn-line school
During 2020 I obviously could not visit the school premises, however the online course they are providing is just excellent, highly recommend. The exam preparation course was really not just some knowledge revision (although it was there too), but a lot of very practical advise and tips on the exam strategy.

studied General EnglishVery Nice Good
Recommended: Only with knowledge of English words I traveled to England 2 weeks ago. Tomorrow is already the last day of school and after 10 days of School of English I can draw a consistently positive balance. I can now communicate in everyday life, which should be the real goal of my stay. At 54, I never had any problems with the much younger students. The acceptance among each other is very high. All teachers are really concerned, friendly and very helpful. The school staff are also friendly. I stayed with a host family selected by the school. I can also recommend this because you are accepted as a family member. After a short period of getting used to it, this is also a very nice experience. The entertainment offers are not necessarily for everyone but very diverse. In my view, there are sometimes too many students in one class, which limits the already very tight space even more. The only negative thing that occurred to me was that we learned a lot of grammar. If you want to learn English, you are in good hands at this school. My tip: 10 days are too short. Thanks for the nice time....

studied Business EnglishTo recommend absolutely !!
this school is particularly interesting, both in terms of teaching, and the kindness of the whole team. I had a first experience in business class also in a reputed school yet well I must say that it seems to me much more committed.
Every person I met and who has been there for several months told me good too, and what progress for all !

studied English Teacher TrainingTeaching with Technology
The WSE is an excellent option for overseas English teachers who want to improve their teaching skills and thus enhance the learning of their students. I did the 5-day Teaching with Technology course. I was lucky to have Duncan and Felicitas as my teachers because their dedication and passion for teaching are so infectious that now when I am back at home, I am inspired to employ the knowledge they transferred onto me in my teaching context. My experience at the WSE, however, wouldn't have been the same but for all the staff members, especially those at the reception, who assisted me with picking up the best social activity for me and the best travel option. Last but not least, I would like to point out the excellent location of the school. Wimbledon is worth exploring on its own and is an excellent starting point for immersing yourself into the melting pot that London is.

studied English Exam PreparationMy Best English School
I took an IELTS preparation course with two great teachers (Duncan and Julian) after attending many courses in other schools. I strongly believe that this English school is the best because of its amazing staff. They are polite and qualified in IELTS preparation. I really recommend it.

studied English Exam PreparationOET course
I'll recommend this school for all adult learners of English. I have been following a weekly course of medical OET just before my examination. The teachers were all dedicated to our course. So it was very helpful to know the last tips for the test.
The school is also a very nice place to study with all facilities.
