The English Studio is an English language school located in central London. Founded in 1997, it states that it has served more than 60,000 international students. Its core offering is not a purely online platform; instead, it focuses mainly on in-person classes at its London campus, combining classroom learning, self-study, social interaction, and cultural activities to help students improve English fluency and communication skills.
Courses include General English, IELTS Preparation, Business English, Intensive English, evening courses, and junior programs for ages 8–17. The minimum age for adult courses is usually 16. Students come from around 80 countries, with many in the 18–35 age range. In terms of teaching staff, the school says all teachers are graduates and hold at least a CELTA or Trinity TESOL qualification, with overseas teaching experience. Courses include level assessments, regular tests, monthly progress reports, and homework marking. Students can receive an English Studio certificate upon completion. IELTS courses are aimed at internationally recognized IELTS exam results.
Pricing is relatively clear: IELTS at 15 hours/week is around £230–£270; Business English is £395–£420 for 15 hours/week and £527–£560 for 20 hours/week; Intensive English at 25 hours/week is £362–£425. Evening General English costs £600 for 10 weeks, while evening IELTS costs £640. The junior English activity course is £670, and the junior 15-hour General English course is £385. Payment methods include Flywire, bank transfer, credit card, phone payment, and cash at the school. Note that courses generally must be paid in full before the start date, and the refund policy appears strict; the text indicates that refunds are generally only available in cases of visa refusal.
Its strengths include a long operating history, a fairly comprehensive range of course levels and types, a convenient central London location, and accommodation options including homestays, student residences, and studios. The offline immersive environment is suitable for short-term intensive improvement, IELTS preparation, business communication, and junior summer study programs. Downsides include the overall high cost for overseas students, with visa, accommodation, and transport expenses to consider. The website body text also contains some abnormal sections related to gambling and sports news, which hurts its professional impression. Online 1v1 lessons only appear as an inquiry option, with no pricing or course details provided.
The crawled text does not confirm stable access from mainland China, so this is rated as unknown. For payment, Flywire and bank transfer are relatively friendly to international students, but it is not stated whether Chinese local payment methods are supported. If studying in the UK is not feasible, alternatives include online English platforms such as EF English Live, Cambly, and italki. For IELTS-focused study, users can also compare courses from New Oriental, Global Education, or the British Council.
