A message from the Director
Welcome to the St George International website
This year we celebrate 48 years of English language teaching to students from all over the world as well as 18 years of training people to teach English to students from all over the world.
Our various accreditations, validations and university partnerships I hope reassure you that at SGI you always receive the very highest level of tuition and training with our fully qualified and experienced academic and management team.
Much has changed at SGI since we began teaching English in a small building in the Marylebone district of Central London in 1962. Over this time we have developed into an internationally recognised language training organisation, which continues to provide a wide and innovative range of English language courses for everybody. With a rapidly growing number of UK and overseas partners, the national and international dimension of SGI has never been more prominent.
To add to the momentum, we are now housed in an excellent new purpose-built training centre in the fashionable Fitzrovia district, just to the north of Oxford Street, where we are able to offer comfortable, quiet, attractive classrooms, free wireless and internet facilities and a computer based study centre.
This year we are also proud to present in response to public demand, a whole host of new courses. These include a range of Evening courses for people living and working in London. Home Tuition, where you live and study in the home of the teacher. Online courses, for those students unable to come to London and former students wishing to continue their English studies when they return home. In-company courses, designed to improve the English business communication skills of employees working in all types of organisations here in the UK and Overseas ... and Work Experience, a great way to improve your English by working for three or six months in a British company.
As well as our English programmes we can help you with your accommodation whilst in London. From homestays (host families) to student residences we will ensure that you feel as comfortable as possible during your stay.
At the forefront of fashion, music, culture and the arts, London continues to be one of the most exciting, vibrant and colourful cities in the world. Through our Social Programme the staff at St George International will ensure that you enjoy everything this great city has to offer. Also the SGI e-Learning & Community keeps students up to date with the latest SGI social events and news as well as enabling students to keep in touch with each other after they leave the school.
It is always a pleasure to see such an international group of people improving their English and having a great time in this fascinating city. Please look through the site at what we have and please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We all look forward to welcoming you.
