Kensington Academy of English

Why choose Kensington Academy of English?

Their college is located in the very center of the city (Zone 1), close to iconic buildings such as the Tower of London, the Gherkin, the Bank of England and the Shard. They are a short walk away from most of London’s main attractions.

They have recently renovated a historic and beautiful building as part of a multi-million pound development plan. Their students will benefit from modern facilities as well as spacious classrooms.

They are smaller than many of their competitors and this allows them to create an environment where everyone can get to know each other. They believe that this makes for a more focused and enjoyable learning experience.

Whether it’s a group course or private lesson, their tutors will take the time to understand you and your goals. So that all their students can receive individual attention, they deliberately keep their class sizes small. The average class size is 10 and the maximum class size is 15.
