After 11 months we say goodbye to Mauricio.

Category: English as an International Language, London trip, Longterm student, Testimonial / Tags: , , , ,

Today we want to say goodbye to our lovely long term student Mauricio, who just have finished a 11 month course here at EC London 30+ He would love to share his opinion about EC with us.   It all began a year ago when I decided to study English abroad because of my strong desire to take my professional career into the next level, so I can apply for some job offers from multinational companies without problems. Therefore, I quit my job and started choosing a good English school I could get the best learning experience to achieve my goal. I have always dreamed about studying in London because this place is one of the most important cities in the world and there is plenty of things to do such as visiting museums and iconic buildings, attending events, having great time with friends, having meals at nice restaurants, good libraries and learning about new cultures and people. EC London 30+ has everything it needs to promote people’s learning and social capabilities, given the variety of academic and extracurricular programs it offers its students. The teachers of this school are truly committed to the learning of their students, the students are of excellence and come from different backgrounds and the classrooms and library are optimal to improve the English skills. Attending classes was confusing at the first time because it has been a long time since my last course I took and the teaching methodology was a bit complex. However, I can remember that my first day at EC London was great, the staff was friendly, helpful and available to answer all my enquiries because I was not able to speak and understand English easily. I took the Beginner class for one week and then I moved to the elementary ones. Overall, … Read more

Pulling my socks up as an intern at EC London 30+

Category: Uncategorized / Tags: ,

Being interested in learning English and more about British work culture, discovering the life in a huge English city and improving my language skills, I went off to discover lovely London for two months.   Why voluntarily moving away from thirty-degree constant weather to a changing clouded wet English place? It’s because one of the advantages of becoming an English teacher for secondary school students in Switzerland: It provides me with seven weeks in an English country. In order to do so, I decided coming to London and doing an internship at EC London 30+. And it was absolutely worthwhile!  But learning English wasn’t everything, the internship had not only helped me to improve my English, I also had the opportunity to benefit my teacher skills. What were my responsibilities? The first week I was mainly at the reception: Besides chatting with the student’s, answering their questions, I helped them feel comfortable in the school and booked their trips. Furthermore, I accomplished some academic tasks such as doing the teachers’ schedules, the students’ timetables or preparing the certificates. Several times I had the honour to give some free lessons, for example the conversational class or breakfast club. And not to forget – Besides trying understand David’s Irish accent, I benefited from being introduced to British music groups due to of Suzie’s amazing DJ skills. The icing on the cake? I very much liked my time at EC 30+ because the working atmosphere was fantastic. The internship gave me an insight how a language school works and is organised. What is more, throughout the conversations with teachers and class observations I was able to collect useful ideas for my future lessons. It was also interesting to see the differences between a regular school teacher and a teacher whose students change every … Read more

Category: English as an International Language, Uncategorized / Tags: , ,

It’s very easy to speak about EC 30+ school, everything in just one word: AMAZING. Fantastic organisation, everybody always ready to help you. David, Suzie and Sue, one of the best staff I’ve ever seen. Simple, precise and human. The teachers…OMG…just incredible. I’ve never study English and now I can speak, maybe not really well, but I understand and I can make a speech. I like John, Matt, Adam, Georgia and Ben, each of them gave me something. My classmates were fantastic, I met new people from different countries, it was just amazing. Thank you sooo much for this experience because for me to share it’s really important and here I can just study and learn English but the best was to grow humanly. Love you sooo much!!
