Hey, I'm so happy to be a part of Speak Up London community!I've been studying in Speak Up London since May 2021. Offline classes are absolutely fantastic! I admire my teacher Gareth who can easily communicate with each student and pay attention to the needs of the students. Also, he has an amazing sense of humour!:)All people from the team in the school are very attentive and outgoing, and I appreciate how it's easy to build communication with them.Additional activities after General classes can help you to boost your vocab and get to know something new.It's important to say that the school has a perfect location and rooms comfortable studying in. In addition, all the studying materials were useful and gave a lot of language practice.Furthermore, I want to note that I've met many interesting people who told me about their culture, traditions and even shared some facts about their lives.Thank you, Speak Up London, for a wonderful experience!Musa and Holly, I'm sending you my hugs🤗

I took part in two different courses in this School, firstly the General English and secondly the IELTS preparation. It was about 6 months in total.I will point out why it was a worthy experience:1. It is value for money. One of the best prices in city;2. SpeakUp offers a lots of benefits for free, including communication classes, cultural agenda, events at school, etc.3. My teachers were: Steph, Sonia and Yota. All of them very well prepared to teach with dynamics methodology and valuable content in their classes;4. The reception staffs were always resolutive and efficient;5. The school has a flexible approach with periods of gap to travel;6. Very well conected, as it is in the heart of the city;As I am no longer studying there, so I can not say in regards to COVID-19 precautions. However, I've seen that they are following closely the government rules.Definitely, I would highly recommend this school for friends.

What I can say about Speak Up London?I am a big fan of this school.The secretaries are very attentive and patient.The teachers also very attentive and patient.I had three teachers there: Michael who was my teacher in upper intermediate level, he is a little bit fast, but for me was a good thing because my English also improved very fast.After that in Advanced level my teacher was Greg also a great teacher.My last teacher there was Frits, I know his name it’s like Dutch or German but he is British...long story.He was a great surprise, his lessons are more speaking than grammar what for me it’s perfect in advanced level.

I was one of the happiest students in the Speak Up London. Because they did their best to help me to improve my English. I’ve started with General English at lower-intermediate level and after 4 months I was advance. Then I moved to IELTS class. I needed to get 6,5/9 to be able to start my masters and I did in 3 months with those amazing teachers help. Also, I think I have to mention receptionists who always treated me well. They were very friendly and solved all my problems.If you compare it to other schools in terms of price and efficiency, this is the best one you can choose.In a nutshell, don’t even think twice. Go to Speak Up London website and enroll for this amazing experience.(I’m doing my masters in London now, thanks to SUL team)

I would like to say something about this school.I'm from Italy and I'm 23 years old. Before I came here, my English was very basic, so it wasn't easy at the beginning.When I came to London I was very confused because this is a big city and there are a lot of schools at your disposal, but I think that it's important to invest good and to choose the best school.I enjoy spending time in this school and I've learned a lot. The secretaries who work here have always helped me with everything, they are very professional and friendly.The teachers are lovely, they are always trying to make every lecture interesting. I would like to recommend this lovely school to anyone who's here in London and wants to learn or improve their English, because this is the very best school in this city.When you're ready, make your choice! They will be waiting for you.

My name is Jacobo, I am 24 a years old student of Speak Up London. I could say that this is the best school of English I have ever attended.I arrived in London 4 months ago with the aim of improving my English level as fast as possible. A friend of mine recommended Speak Up and now I can say she was right! The most valuables teachers will prepare you for a real English environment, whether you want to improve your general English or prepare for a Cambridge exam. In my personal case, I was prepared by the teachers for the First certificate Exam which I succeeded to pass. In just two months they show me all I needed of grammar, writing, reading, speaking and listening.In addition to the quality of the teachers, they also organize different activities such as one day trip, museum tours and drinks in some pub with all students. Therefore, it is also an opportunity to meet people from all over the world.I would highly recommend going to Speak Up London if your main goal is to improve your English for a reasonable price and also you are looking for meeting people from all over the world!

Speak Up London to najlepsze miejsce nie tylko do nauki angielskiego, ale również do realizacji praktyki za granicą! Dzięki temu można mieć 2 w 1!Chodziłam na kurs przygotowujący do IELTS. Chris i Greg super prowadzą zajęcia- bardzo dużo praktycznych wskazówek i robienia testów- co jest niezbędne do zdania tego egzaminu!Praktyki realizowałam w dziale finansów, gdzie bezpośrednio podlegałam dyrektorowi. Miałam bardzo ciekawe zadania (m.in. analiza rynku, sporządzanie raportów). Farhan jest wspaniałym mentorem, który potrafi przekazać wiedzę i daje możliwość pokazania swoich umiejętności.Atmosfera w Speak Up London jest świetna! Można sie poczuć jak w rodzinie, wszyscy są życzliwi, często żartują, co sprawia, ze czas mija błyskawicznie i bezstresowo.Bardzo, bardzo polecam, bo naprawdę warto!

La mia esperienza da Speak Up London è stata stellare.. gli insegnanti e tutto lo staff sono favolosi.. accoglienti e sempre disponibili per ogni esigenza!Già l'accoglienza caloroso si vede nel momento dell'arrivo che quando ti danno la welcome pack.. all'interno ci ho trovato un pacchetto di Haribo ( un gesto piccolo ma che mi ha reso felice ).Consiglio caldamente questa scuola a tutti gli studenti che vogliono migliorare ( tipo me ) o iniziare a studiare la lingua inglese perché penso che sia un ottima scuola con insegnanti stellari!!!✨✨✨La posizione della scuola è favolosa.. si trova sulla Oxford Street.. in pieno centro.. quindi dopo i miei corsi andavo in giro per i negozi!!Da Speak Up London si è in famiglia.. si sta bene!!!!Ci tornerò molto presto per continuare a studiare la lingua inglese in questa mervigliosa scuola!❤️Provare per credere!Claudia De Vito
