General English

Study General English

In a general English class, you’ll learn how to communicate. You’ll improve your speaking and listening skills, brush up on your grammar and vocabulary, and practise everyday English in a variety of contexts. You’ll also:

– focus on formality and learn what language makes you sound more serious and what expressions can be used with friends
– find out how to approach written and audio text and learn skills you need to understand them
– improve your pronunciation and practise listening to different accents
– learn how to sound natural – pick up everyday vocabulary which makes you sound like a native speaker
– brush up on your cultural knowledge – learn about Britain, other English-speaking places, as well as your classmates’ home countries

Do our level test to check what level class is right for you.

Over the last 9 years, we have provided General English courses to over 10,000 students!

Yes – that’s right – 10,000 students!

Our positive feedback on social media is proof that we are the right school for you.

STUDENTS PER CLASS

We do our best to keep groups at a comfortable size. The maximum number of students is between 14 and 16 students per class, depending on the classroom you will be studying in, but we always try our best to have group sizes good enough for you to practice, make friends, and learn fast.

PROGRESS TRACKING

Every week, we do revision tasks and/or mini-tests to check what you have learnt. We also organise individual tutorials, with just you and your teacher, every 6-7 weeks.We ask you to reflect on your progress before meeting with your teacher and then give you an opportunity to get personalised advice from your tutor on how to reach your learning goals.

COURSE DATES

Most of our courses follow the rolling-enrolment pattern -this means you can join them any Monday. You are free to choose how long you want to study with us. Our teachers will make you feel welcome and help you settle into your class easily.

MINIMUM AGE

You must be at least 16 years old to join our adult courses.

Course Materials

Every student is different, which is why your teacher is going to tailor the materials they use to your specific needs.

We have access to a range of up-to-date resources, but our teachers also create their own interactive materials based on authentic texts and recordings to help you progress quickly.

Every General English course follows a course book, with the aim of covering one unit a week.

Most of the course books we use offer digital versions.

If you want to buy a coursebook, you can buy it for £30. If you want to rent a coursebook, you can rent it for £30 but you get £15 back when you return the book. Coursebooks can be purchased at the reception.

General English Course Outlines

On average a unit from the course book is covered in a week. Your teacher will send you a provisional timetable for the week via email before your Tuesday lesson, so you have an idea of what parts of the unit will be covered and when. Homework is set every evening, including some writing. Evening courses also use course books, but cover a unit in about 2 weeks. Currently at advanced level there is Business-feature on Mondays, which is based on student requests.

It was a wonderful, but very intense, time. I chose a very intensive course option - morning and afternoon lessons (6 hours a day). The Speak Up London School is really very good. I had great teachers - Alex (morning group) and Gary Dixon (afternoon group). I have to say Gary is the best language teacher I have ever had.
I was aware of my expectations towards the language school.
However, I did not expect this intense time to be such a unique experience. Paradoxically, it is not just about linguistic progress. This one is important, but not crucial. Relationships are more important. The greatest value for me is always meeting other people, especially those coming from the other side of the world, telling me about their world and curious about my world. Without prejudice and with respect. Yes, people undoubtedly turned out to be the greatest value of this school. By getting to know them, I get to know myself even better.
Best regards to the entire Speak Up London community. I will definitely come back to you! 🙂
----------
To był cudowny, choć bardzo intensywny czas. Wybrałem bardzo intensywną opcję kursu - lekcje poranne i popołudniowe (6 godzin dziennie). Szkoła Speak Up London jest naprawdę bardzo dobra. Miałem wspaniałych nauczycieli - Alex (poranna grupa) i Gary Dixon (grupa popołudniowa). Muszę powiedzieć, że Gary jest najlepszym nauczycielem języka, jakiego kiedykolwiek miałem.
Byłem świadomy moich oczekiwać wobec szkoły językowej. Świadomie też wybrałem szkołę z nie najniższej półki. Nie na wszystkim bowiem można i powinno się oszczędzać.
Nie spodziewałem się jednak, że ten intensywny czas będzie aż tak wyjątkowym doświadczeniem. Paradoksalnie nie chodzi tu li tylko o progres językowy. Ten jest ważny, ale nie kluczowy. Ważniejsze są relacje. Największą wartością dla mnie jest zawsze spotkanie z drugim człowiekiem, zwłaszcza przybywającym z drugiego krańca świata, opowiadającym mi o swoim świecie i ciekawym mojego świata. Bez uprzedzeń i z szacunkiem. Tak, niewątpliwie największą wartością tej szkoły okazali się ludzie. Poznając ich, jeszcze lepiej poznaję siebie.
Pozdrawiam całą społeczność Speak Up London. Jeszcze do Was na pewno wrócę! 🙂

I was preparing for IETS exam here. As a result, my total score was 7.5: 8.5 for Reading, 8.0 for Listening, and 7.0 for Writing and Speaking. This is a solid mark. According to google, it's even enough to officially become a [medical] doctor in UK... So I decided to go for PhD in Britain (also a doctor in some sense) after finishing my master's. It's a great school overall.

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!

This is the schoold I attended when I was in London for 6 month and I can say for sure that is the best! It has very qualified teachers and it is in Oxford street, so it's super easy to reach it! Wvery week the school organizes events or trips where you can go and it gets discount on fees very often.

After the two month IELTS preparation at SUL I get overall band 7.0! The IELTS course has developed my strategy and time menagament, with stress on reading! I would like to highlight that on every Friday we had a 'real IELTS exam' what showed how stressed we are and how deal with time pressure. I definitely recommend Speak Up London!! 🙂

I had many good experiences and made many friends. I had very good teacher
( NIRO ) and day to day I got more confidence.

When I arrived I was really shy and do not speak so much but when you visit for 4 month the school you do really well. I liked the location on Oxford Street I could go to all shops and eat all foods - I tried Japanese and I no like. I took FCE and IELTS course, and I improve quickly.

Many thanks to all Speak Up London Team.

Es una escuela excelente, con un profesorado buenísimo. La metodología depende de cada profesor pero tienen en común que todos promueven el diálogo entre alumnos para soltarse hablando. Te dan todas las facilidades para cambiar de profesor y/o nivel, organizan salidas para los alumnos, en el mes de Agosto organizaron una salida a Hyde Park con profesorado incluido. Yo sólo puedo decir cosas buenas de la escuela, aunque es verdad que la situación tan céntrica tiene un precio y es que las clases son, en ocasiones, son muy pequeñas y el ruido de la calle, en verano con las ventanas abiertas, molesta un poco. Por lo demás, un 10.
THANKS TO LINDA AND KIM, THEY'RE AMAZING THEACHERS. I MISS YOU!!!

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

Un ringraziamento speciale al professore Eddie che li ha fatti anche divertire cantando una sua canzone scritta alla lavagna. È stata un bellissima esperienza e raccomando a tutti di venire in questa scuola per migliorare l'inglese.Grazie ancora speak up london siete i numeri uno!! Un abbraccio dalla Sicilia!!

I love studying in this school for many reasons. Firstly, the price is affordable, the quality of teaching is very good and it's located in the center of London. Secondly, the staff, from receptionists to teachers, are very friendly, supportive and professional. It is thanks to them that I'm attending the right English programme for my professional needs. When I came in London I was alone and Speakuplondon made me feel at home, gave me support and the opportunity to meet a lot of people from different cultures.
It's much more than a school, I really recommend it.

I always had fun in class and it never got boring, for the first time in my life I actually enjoyed studying english. Thanks to my teacher, Greg, I've improved a lot, and I just got my exam results, and I passed with flying colours. Moreover the social program was amazing! There's always something to do, and it's a great opportunity to meet with people from different parts of the world. The WIFI doesn't lie: it truly is the best english school in London!

i would say that this is one of the best English school for several reasons. Firstly, teachers as well as employees are willing to help in any situation and they are also able to speak various languages in order to help everyone. Secondly, the school is situated in the centre of London and therefore i do not have to explain the many advantages of that. Thirdly, the school offer different level of courses and it is well organised from various point of view. Finally, from my personal experience, i have to say that thanks to this school i have improved my english quickly and properly. I started from the second level and i reached the higher in roughly 6 week. Teachers have also helped me with advice and tips and eventually I got my IELTS exam that allows me to enroll for a master course.

Even though we do not speak the same language very fluently, teachers of Speak Up London(Eddie, Carmen and Layla) are helpful and kindly to us. Furthermore, the teachers of Speak Up London are like a friend for all student and they are best to teaching.Speak Up London has every kind of opportunities. Finally, I want to say that I wish I could come here earlier because this is the most professional language school which I have ever seen. 🙂
