About Us

We have been an English Language Centre since 1984 and we welcome you to our current Academic Term. There are eight members of staff who are qualified and experienced teachers, and up to 100 international students at any one time.

We offer full-time and part-time courses in general English.  There are day time and evening time classes, and also the £2.50 classes with the new teachers in training.

The school is in an attractive historic building in a quiet conservation area in the heart of Reading.  It is only 5 minutes' walk from the Oracle central shopping and leisure area.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the following organisations who support the school by providing funding for our English Language courses:

Berkshire Community Foundation

The Berkshire Masonic Charity

Johnson Matthey PLC

We also run courses for experienced teachers leading to the University of Cambridge Delta.
