How a language school in Ealing is supporting the community and the economy...

As a private family-run language school whose students are often educational tourists, the pandemic hit us badly. We did everything we could to keep our doors open, but our industry struggled to stay afloat amid lockdowns, social distancing requirements and flight restrictions. Thankfully, since then, we have seen a record number of students coming to the UK to study English with us. In 2022, we welcomed over 1,100 individual students who studied with us. In a time which has been uncertain for our industry, we have been able not only to survive, but thrive, and we attribute this to the high-quality service and teaching that we offer at affordable prices. Because of this, we now employ more staff than we ever have, and we are always looking to keep up with student demand.
