I tried other schools in London, but this is the best one I've been to! Giving them 5 stars isn't enough. It took 1.5 hours to get to the school from where I lived, but it was definitely worth it. There is plenty of great content that teaches you a lot. It was the best of all the schools I've been to. I felt I improved my English the most while I was there. The classes are mainly based on a textbook and they seem to control how much they teach from the book each week very well and at a good pace. Each part (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) was well balanced with deep content in each area. The teacher corrected our spoken English a lot, which was the point I liked the most. It's just a shame I couldn't continue learning at this school because I decided to move to another city, but if I have the chance to stay in London again, I would love to go back to this school.
My friend and I took english classes for 4 weeks at WLES for our Cambridge exam preparation. The experience we made there was wonderful. The environment is great and all the teachers are extremely friendly and experienced. They always make sure to focus on your needs since the english knowledge between students can be different. Asif, the managing director, organized our whole stay including a host family 1 week prior our trip, which was amazing. He was also always there if we needed something and regularly checked up on us. We were also surprised by the variety of out of school trips WLES organized and most of them were free. In addition we made great friends there from all over the world. We can for sure recommend this school for students who want to improve their english! In the short span of 4 weeks they prepared us well for the exam and we passed it with good grades, so there is absolutely nothing that could be said against this school! Kind regards, Alana and Maxime :)
I took an intensive course for two months and enjoyed it! I came to London recently and joining WLES was my best decision. My English significantly improved and now I can speak English freely. Teachers are very professional and everybody in the school is very nice. I can for sure recommend this school; the prices are reasonable and the location is good. I want to say thank you to Sally, Liberty, Harmi and Rebecca - my beloved teachers. Hope to see you again ❤️
It’s not good, It’s expensive and half of the teachers aren’t native English speakers. It’s one floor and it’s so small. You have to squeeze yourself in all day to just walk around or go to the kitchen or toilets. There’s no space in classes and one class can have up to 16 students. And sometimes the tables and chairs aren’t enough so you’ll have to squeeze yourself in. Asif The director is very rude and disrespectful and doesn’t care about the students. He will only brag about how good the school is but once you pay you won’t get respect or learn well. Not to mention how he called students a zoo and didn’t even bother to apologize but kept avoiding it. There’s no excuse for acting this way towards anyone. It’s unacceptable and unforgivable. he’s barely even around. And there’s some kind of extreme favoritism to some students. Overall discussing anything is pointless if he can’t do the bare minimum which is to respect the students. i don’t recommend this school AT ALL. I won’t be giving it a second chance. Only good at bragging and making excuses. don’t waste your time or money.
It is a very professional academy, I booked the intensive OET course for doctors, and the teachers Harmi and Alex were just great, I received more classes with teacher Harmi and I most say he is an excellent teacher, his explanations were very clear, the material for the classes was very interesting and useful for the exam, he gave me a lot of resources to improve my listening and my reading. The manager of the academy, Faustine, is a great person, very enthusiastic and willing to help. In conclusion, I recommend the academy, and OET course 100%.
