A Guide to Choosing an English Language School in the UK

Are you thinking about which English school in the UK is best fit for you? This is a common dilemma for would-be English learners, especially with so many English schools in the UK.

However, worry not! In this blog, we examine the important points to consider when choosing an English course in the UK, and why English-in-York ticks all the right boxes.

The location of an English language school can significantly impact your language learning experience. Our school is based in York, one of the UK’s most beautiful and historic cities. With two universities with a strong academic reputation attracting thousands of international students, York is a great place to learn and make new friends from all over the world. English-in-York is located in the heart of the city with a wide range of attractions within short walking distance.

4. A truly caring environment

Travelling abroad, often for the first time, to learn a new language can be a challenging. We prioritise the well-being of our students by offering comprehensive support throughout their time with us.
