Thank you for your interest in our English Language School in Edinburgh. You will improve your English quickly with us but you will also have fun while you are learning. Our goal is for you to be happy so we use qualified teachers who understand what you want and need to learn.
Our School
The Language Institute is now situated in the vibrant “Shore” area of Edinburgh. The building was previously occupied by the Leith Nautical college. Recently renovated, the school features modern and bright classrooms.
“Ocean Terminal”, a large and modern shopping complex is within 5 minutes walk from the school. As well as a range of shopping outlets the complex features skating, skateboarding, a cinema, a large range of restaurants and cafes and a soon to be built bowling alley. It also hosts the world famous “Royal Yacht Britannia”.
The centre will also soon be connected to Edinburgh’s new tram extension with very regular services going to the city centre and Edinburgh airport.
Which English course to choose?
Choose from one of our General English courses, Exam Preparation courses or Business English courses. Which course depends on your situation. If you are planning on going to university here in the UK then perhaps you need to do an IELTS course.
Maybe you only want to improve your speaking to help you find a job so a General English course would be better. The choice is yours but, of course, we are happy to advise you.
