I had a really nice study abroad. The stuff is extremely friendly and cares a lot after the students. The school offers a wide range of activities. I really recommend you to buy the tickets for musicals and theatres they offer, they are much cheaper and you will enjoy it.

I enjoyed my time in Wimbledon School of English. Staff were helpful, teachers were well educated professionals whom we learned a lot and exchanged good experience. We did not have the time but there were also a lot of social activities going on, WSE is a perfect choice for a short term study course.

studied General EnglishOne of the best experiences!
The school is amazing in itself, not only has it lots of facilities - such as digital boards, a Study Center, free Wi-Fi and a social program super complete for the students - but it is also in a perfect location: it's 2 minutes walking from a supermarket and 5 minutes from Wimbledon station. There are also lots of cafés, pubs and parks nearby, it's a beautiful area! The accommodations are also outstanding, I stayed with a host family and the experience was fantastic, I had the opportunity to speak English with them every day and the sense of "home" helped with the homesickness. The family also gave me very useful advice about my Oyster Card and the activities I could do in London in my free time.
I'd like to emphasise how absolutely extraordinary is the staff, from the teachers to the receptionist, they all were super helpful and made my experience there one of the bests I have had.
I recommend it 100%.

Dear Kieran,
I've spent unforgettable days at school. Hilary, Frances and Anna were really kind and of course excellent teachers . I've picked up many helpful tips to improve a little this language I love so much .The group of students was also incredible and as they were young, I loved listening to them as well . I've really enjoyed having been at Wimbledon school in many ways, the lessons , the breaks, lunch in the garden, your cordiallity, everything! Thank you very much you all , it was a great experience for me and of course I'd be very happy to return one day! Who knows?

studied General EnglishAn amazing experience
The school is situated in the heart of Wimbledon and will give you a truly international experience. You’ll learn to live on your own in a foreign country and your language skills will improve dramatically. Personally, I made a lot of friends there and I feel my English is completely different since I’ve arrived. I strongly recommend to check the official website of the school to find out its other features.

studied English Teacher TrainingThank you note
I would like to thank Helen Merritt and Helen Dennis Smith for effective delivering the Teacher Refreshers Course. The material was useful and practical. After the programme I took the TKT exams. I'm pretty satisfied with the results (Module 1 & 2 band 4, Module 3 band 3). For information, Band 4 is the highest, it shows extensive knowledge. Band 3 shows a breadth and depth of knowledge.

The WSE was one of the best schools I've ever studied, everything is great or almost close to perfect, but the size of the classrooms is small and it annoyed me sometimes.
