Location: EF International Language Center London is located in the cosmopolitan capital city of England, London. Housed in a traditional Victorian building, within 10-minutes of the London Eye, the school is a short distance from Waterloo Underground Station, ensuring that all students have the city's attractions at their fingertips. There are several supermarkets, eateries, banks and pharmacies close by, allowing students to feel comfortable and relaxed during their time in London. With sites such as Buckingham Palace, The British Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral and The Tower of London all within a 30-minute journey of the school's front doors, students are kept busy inside and outside of the classrooms whilst reaching their language goals with EF London. All of London's airports are easily accessible via train.

Course selection: EF London is open to students of all levels and ages at various times throughout the year. For adults, several programmes take place the whole year round, whilst junior immersive or day programmes are available through the summer months.

School facilities: The facilities of the school are exemplary, offering students all they may need to reach their language goals, in a comfortable and friendly environment. The facilities are extensive, including a cafeteria, computer lab, library, games room, auditorium, garden, free after-class language learning software and a student support desk for any questions or queries that may arise. All classrooms are equipped with air conditioning, heat and have ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment.

School chain: EF was founded in Sweden over 55 years ago. It has since then helped millions of people experience new cultures, see new places and learn new things about the world and about themselves. Across the globe, they have more than 600 schools and offices in over 50 countries, delivering the best in education and student care throughout all locations. As a group, EF has hubs in Boston, London, Barcelona, Mexico City, São Paulo, Shanghai, Stockholm, Zürich, and more!

EF understands that language programmes can be much more than the sole process of learning a language, as cultural immersion and diversity play a key part in any student's educational and life development.

Throughout the EF schools, programmes are readily available to adults and juniors, for career, personal and educational development.

Taking an intensive course with EF International Language Center London is the ideal way to take your English skills to the next level, thanks to their structured and progressively planned 32 weekly classes, and the inspiring location that surrounds the school which will make you use your developing English in a diverse range of situations every day.

Statistically, this course offers the most impressive results from all of EF International Language Center’s programme offerings, due to the positive impact of spending a large amount of time per week working on grammar and vocabulary, as well as on speaking with your teacher and classmates in English at all times.

You will receive ten customised classes, which the school refers to as Special Interest Lessons. During these, you can take the chance to ask your teacher to prepare content that is relevant to your own goals and interests, which could be particularly beneficial for those who are considering looking for work during their time in London.

To ensure that you’re placed in an ideal environment that challenges and pushes you, EF International Language Center will ask you to complete a placement test before you start, and with this information they will choose which level group you will initially work in. This is the fastest way to reach your goals, and all in the iconic setting of London!

Student reviews about "50+ Course" at EF International Language Center
Christa Margot 5.0
"I should have gone to the course for ‘seniors’; at 65+ I'm not interested in how to draft an job application ...."
Franz 5.0
"50+ was a good choice, even though I was almost only with very young students. The classification of the language level was very good and is more important than a class composition based on the age of the students. The fellow students were all very nice and were great in their interactions and culture."

“Top teachers.... Very competent, speak slowly and understandably.”
“Furnishing of the individual classrooms. Simply too small and cramped for larger groups!”
Quality of teaching / language progress: I should have gone to the course for ‘seniors’; at 65+ I'm not interested in how to draft an job application ....
School's reply: Hi Christa,Thanks a lot for your feedback, I am happy to hear you found the teachers strong and easy to follow.I also understand your point about the classrooms, especially with larger groups. I’ll make sure this is shared with the school.Thanks again for flagging it,Emese EF

“Internationality of the students; Dedicated teachers; Good teaching methodology; Lively lessons; Alternation of tasks and discussion in smaller groups and the entire class”
“Classrooms are too narrow; Classrooms can only be ventilated poorly or not at all”
Quality of teaching / language progress: 50+ was a good choice, even though I was almost only with very young students. The classification of the language level was very good and is more important than a class composition based on the age of the students. The fellow students were all very nice and were great in their interactions and culture.
School's reply: Dear Franz, Thanks for sharing such a detailed feedback. It is really nice to read how much you enjoyed the international atmosphere and the way the lessons were run. It’s great to hear the teachers, the methodology, and the mix of activities made the classes engaging for you.Also glad the level placement worked well and that, even with a younger group, you still had a good experience and connected with your classmates: that says a lot about the group dynamic.I’m sorry to hear about the classrooms, though. We know how important space and proper ventilation are, so we’ll definitely pass this on to the school team.Overall, it’s good to hear the 50 programme still felt like the right choice for you. You will be welcome in the future.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
