THE ENGLISH STUDIO HAS THREE VALUES CENTRAL TO THE WAY WE RUN OUR SCHOOLS
BE SUPPORTIVE
GET CONNECTED
STAY MOTIVATED
The English Studio is here to help you achieve a brighter future, both inside and outside the classroom.
As an English Studio student, you become part of a global family, making friends of all nationalities from every corner of the world.
The English Studio regards learning as a team effort, and our team will encourage and push you to achieve your goals
“The best of The English Studio are the people who work here; they make you feel that you are friends. When you come to a new country, you don’t only carry clothes in the suitcase--you carry fears and insecurities, so you need people who will provide support, give you confidence and, of course, help you with this. That is the part where the school’s team comes into the story because they motivate you, teach you, and guide you, and this is why I recommend this place if you want or need to learn English, either because you have decided to venture into a new life, take a little vacation, or simply because it’s a dream that you always wanted to come true. Personally I own the best memories of my early days in Dublin thanks to The English Studio’s team, because I met excellent teachers, met great people from other parts of the world, and of course, learned English.” Veronique Meliciano Marecos (Portugal) – General English
LOCATIONS Our language schools are all located in the heart of the city, in the ideal location for you to see the sights and have a great time while improving your English.
Dublin
London
A fascinating mix of the modern and historic, Dublin is a small capital city with a big personality. Lively traditional music, classic literature, and a thriving social scene – and that’s just the start of what Dublin has to offer. Combined with inexpensive cuisine and public transport – not to mention cheap and accessible flights – Dublin is the ideal destination for students wanting to perfect their English and see the world.
Choosing London means choosing one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Full of unforgettable landmarks and exciting things to see and do, the sheer size and diversity of London makes this city a top choice for any English language student.
Our language school in Dublin is located in the heart of this hustling, bustling capital, right in the middle of the city’s central shopping district. Surrounded by restaurants, shops, and cinemas, English Studio Dublin is a ten minute walk from the Spire on O’Connell Street, and a mere stone’s throw away from many of Dublin’s most renowned historic sites. A five-minute stroll over the Ha’Penny Bridge brings students to such attractions as Dublin Castle, Christ Church Cathedral, and the iconic Temple Bar.
“This is a brilliant English school. It is the best school I have been to in Dublin. I enjoy it so much. The teachers are amazing, great at their job, and very friendly. Classes are always entertaining and it is a fun way to learn English. The school is in a great location and I would recommend it to anyone.” Gaby Meneses (Venezuela) – General English
Our language schools in London are located in Holborn, which sits between the West End shopping paradise and the financial colossus of the City, right in the heart of the capital. The English Studio London campus is minutes away from Soho as well as the world-famous Covent Garden Market, which is a must-visit for all students. Further along is “Theatreland”, London’s main theatre district, where many of the world’s leading playwrights found their voices, and where legendary stars like Kevin Spacey, Jessica Lange, and Jude Law still appear on the London stage.

“I enjoyed very much the TESOL course, not only because it enriched my teaching, but also because it challenged the ways one can carry out such a task in a context very different to the one I was teaching in. It also meant a great deal to me, because I was faced with a full time course and many arduous hours of learning and preparing classes and assignments. But it kept me busy and awake. There’s not a single dull moment in TESOL!” Mara Toranaza (Argentina) – Trinity Cert. in TESOL
