Location: The school is located in central London near Soho, part of the Bloomsbury neighbourhood, close to the University of London. There are many bookstores and cafes in the area dedicated to academic studying. The school is just off a main highstreet, which has a selection of shops, restaurants and bars.

Getting around: The school is just around the corner from the Goodge Street Tube Station, which is a station on the northern line. 10 minutes by foot from the school is Tottenham Court Road Tube Station. Along with the northern line, this station also has the Central Line and the Elizabeth Line for more connections around the city.

Local attractions: The British Museum is right around the corner from the school. Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace are walkable from the school. The other attractions are reachable via the public transportation links around the school.

Course structure: General English classes are organised as group classes, mini-groups and a combination of group and private classes. There are packages of individual classes, which can be mapped around the schedule of the student. The school provides preparation courses for exams including TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS and Cambridge exams. Specific English programmes are taught for workers in the business, law, teaching and medical field.

40+ package: LSI has created a programme for older learners. This allows those of a similar age to join cultural activities after a mixed-age English class, to practise their English with like minded students.

Junior programmes: During the summer months the school offers junior packages for younger students. These generally take place at a different location within London, but run and organised by the staff at LSI in London.

Chain school: As a group, Language Studies International (LSI) has schools located in 7 countries throughout the world. These countries include France, the USA, England, New Zealand, Switzerland and Canada.

Teachers were always patient to explain again things that were not understood. very punctual teachers, very well organized and clean school buildings
Insider tip: For the Italians: it's better for you to know that 50% of the students come from Italy..If you want to be sure to really talk always in English after the end of the lessons, it's better you consider to evaluate another town

The teachers and managers were all very nice and competent. Nice to talk to so many young people from different nations.
Insider tip: Maybe check in good time whether the coffee and tea machine is working and have change ready for it and know that you can get hot water for free and maybe take tea bags with you because the ready-made bags don't taste particularly good.

Other comments My participation in the WhatsApp student group did not work out. The link came too late and also ended up in my spam folder. There was so much to do on site! Since I was only there for 1 week, I couldn't take care of the WhatsApp and now I think it's a shame that I no longer have any contact with the other students.
