We are passionate about language teaching. Our team is carefully selected. Our teachers and academic managers are experienced, qualified language experts and are trained to understand the needs of international students. Most importantly, we are all enthusiastic and interested in languages. Most of our team speaks two or three languages fluently.

She is very kind and gentle and is loved by the students. |

She loves dancing and even has certificates in Modern and Jazz Dance graded by the Imperial London College of Dance. Sofia is a keen artist but also enjoys organisation, which makes her a organised creative, if there is such a thing.
