English Courses in London, England

Avalon School of English, London:
Avalon School is one of London’s biggest and best private English language schools. Due to student demand, 5 years ago the school extended its range of courses to include excellent Higher Education programmes. Students succeed at Avalon. Based in Leicester Square, London Borough of Westminster in the heart of Central London, Avalon has 15 years experience in knowing what students want and how to achieve their goal. Our aim is to get students speaking. Avalon’s unique direct method gives students enough confidence to go out and communicate in English after their very first week. Each time you leave the classroom your English will be more advanced. How do we do this? It’s simple. Our teachers are trained to listen to your English and improve it. They ask you a question. You answer, and if there are any mistakes in your sentence, they correct you. Each day we teach you some new words or grammar, so you won’t want to miss any lessons. Then we practise those words over the next few days.

* Learn English with a difference at Avalon
Avalon offers many different English classes. These include Grammar, Reading, Writing, Pronunciation, IELTS, FCE and Business English. The course that makes us different from other schools is Avalon Direct English, a speaking and communication method developed by Avalon academics. In this class we teach grammar and vocabulary, but students practise by speaking with qualified, native speaker teachers. It is question and answer, direct method. It is unique. Students can choose the classes they study, and the time of day. Avalon is very flexible.

* Location
Avalon has two buildings, both located in the centre of London. It takes less than five minutes to walk from one building to the other. The school is easily accessible by bus, tube and train. The nearest tube stations are Leicester Square (20 metres) and Tottenham Court Road (80 metres).

Avalon is known all over the world as a specialist school in spoken English. Avalon’s direct method, (which has been developed for over 12 years), is successful because students are able to progress very quickly seeing a difference even after the first class.
