Key Facts

Before your first lesson, you can book an initial consultation with a member of our Academic team to discuss your needs and preferences. This information is then shared with your teacher, who will design your lessons specifically for you.
Alternatively, you can discuss your goals and preferences directly with your teacher during your first lesson.

What Our Students Say
At the beginning, I felt insecure about speaking and was afraid of making mistakes, especially when forming sentences. Even though I could understand almost everything, I sometimes froze when it was time to talk. However, as time went by, I became more confident, learned new expressions, and started feeling more comfortable participating in class and having daily conversations.
The school environment was multicultural, with students from many different countries, which made the experience even more enriching. I didn’t just improve my English — I also learned about different cultures, traditions, and perspectives that broadened my worldview.
Living in London made everything even more special. Being able to study while experiencing the routine of such a diverse and historic city was incredible.
In the end, I realized how much I had grown — not only in the language, but also in independence, maturity, and confidence. It is definitely an experience I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
I will miss London and the moments at the residence, especially in the common room. But I will keep in touch with many students.
What makes it really stand out is that it’s not just another school with a generic “business campus.” Their campus is beautiful, welcoming, and designed to inspire learning.
And the best part: they even have their own castle in Bath, which is an absolutely unique experience you won’t find anywhere else. Burlington genuinely cares about its students and creates the perfect environment to learn English.
I highly recommend it!
