In addition to IELTS exam preparation, we offer business English courses, language workshops including writing classes and listening and speaking classes.

Study General English in the morning and take a sightseeing tour of central London in the afternoon or spend your mornings touring London with super low-priced afternoon lessons at 3.30pm.
English Language Lessons will be at ICE in Islington, one of London’s liveliest and most historical boroughs. Groups can either be taught together or integrated into existing international classes.
If the group has its own particular interest in a certain area of English language or would like to be taught separately, we can tailor lessons to your group’s requirements and/or concentrate on common areas of weakness.

We understand that it can be a very scary prospect for an experienced Geography teacher from Milan, for instance, to suddenly be required to deliver his/ her course in the English language. Islington Centre for English is here to make this process as simple as possible with a wide range of language levels to suit the needs of each subject teacher.
For teachers wishing to teach CLIL courses and make fastest possible progress, we suggest a Super Intensive Course of 30 hours per week (including break times) in which we mix General English with specific CLIL lessons. These are taught by our Director of Studies, Amanda Ricketts, who is also a Cambridge Examiner. Methodology is based on the Cambridge TKT exam.
NB: ICE will apply a very generous group discount on the General English element of your course.

studied General EnglishAbsolutely pitfull
Ce n'est pas une école sérieuse. Très très déçue! Je déconseille fortement cette école! J'ai payé des leçons d'anglais pour la période allant de fin février au 10 août 2020... à cause du covid, les leçons ont été faites initialement à distance... mais vu qu'il n'y avait pas suffisamment d'étudiants, l'école a supprimé les cours en ligne! Ce qui fait que j'ai demandé un remboursement tel que le dit la politique de l'école ("si les cours sont suspendus par eux-mêmes, on obtient un remboursement") et ben C'EST FAUX!!! Ils refusent tout remboursement car les cours en présentiel ont repris MAINTENANT... alors que j'ai payé pour des cours allant jusqu'à début août. Je suis effarée par le manque de respect et par cette escroquerie.
Non è una scuola seria. Molto molto delusa! Sconsiglio vivamente questa scuola! Ho pagato le lezioni di inglese per il periodo che va da fine febbraio al 10 agosto 2020 ... e a causa del covid, le lezioni erano inizialmente a distanza ... ma visto che non c'erano abbastanza studenti, la scuola ha interrotto i corsi online! Quindi ho chiesto un rimborso come dice la politica della scuola ("se le lezioni vengono sospese dalla scuola stessa, otteniamo un rimborso") ebbene ciò è assolutamente 'FALSO !!! Rifiutano qualsiasi rimborso perché le lezioni di presenza sono riprese ORA ... anche se ho pagato per le lezioni fino all'inizio di agosto. Sono sconvolta dalla mancanza di rispetto e da questa truffa.
