We run courses for teachers of English to secondary school students and adults. These courses are for those of you who are already teaching English or are training to be an English teacher and want to acquire new ideas to make your lessons more communicative and effective, and at the same time improve your language.

We have a reputation for academic excellence and many of our students recommend the school to their friends, family and colleagues. We are situated in the exciting university city of Oxford.

Our dynamic teaching staff are qualified and experienced and chosen for their friendliness and professionalism.

We are members of ENGLISH UK and we are BRITISH COUNCIL accredited. In our recent British Council re-inspection, 26 points of excellence were noted in areas such as academic management, academic resources, premises and student welfare.

We are also members of QUALITY ENGLISH, a group of established, independent schools who are carefully selected for their quality of customer service and their commitment to excellence in English language teaching.

Your accommodation

Accommodation is in a friendly homestay (half board, single room) for two weeks. You will also receive lunch or a packed lunch at the weekend.

We choose your homestay carefully from the information you give us on the registration form. Most teacher refresher course participants live in a homestay. It's a great opportunity to talk and exchange cultures. You have your own key to the house and complete independence.

A bus pass is approximately 30 GBP, giving 2 weeks of unlimited travel in Oxford. You will also need money for personal expenses.

There is 1 evening social activity every week included in the cost of your course. We also have a varied optional excursion programme, including visits to places of interest such as London, Cambridge, Stratford and Bath. The cost of a full-day excursion is from USD 40*.
