Study English in the UK at St George International

These days, practically everyone needs to study English. If you want to progress in education you will almost certainly have to prove that you have at least an intermediate level of English or higher. In the global business environment, English is undeniably the lingua franca and therefore competent English skills are an absolute necessity for ambitious people who wish to quickly climb the career ladder. If travel is your passion, then the ability to speak English definitely is a great aid as when you explore all that the world has to offer, you will be able to easily communicate with native and non-native English speakers in every corner of the planet. So, it is clear that when you study English, you can truly open the doors to opportunity, success and happiness.

With the global dominance of English there are literally billions of people that can claim to speak English. The vast majority of those though only communicate in rudimentary or poor intermediate English. Even many of those people that have educated themselves to a strong intermediate or advanced level still suffer from imperfect pronunciation problems which can often hinder satisfactory comprehension. When you study English at SGI, you receive the benefit of our excellent mother-tongue speakers that can help you seriously improve all of your language skills.

All of the SGI tutors are fully qualified and we are in the lucky position of being able to boast that many of our staff hold higher-level TEFL qualifications and some are actually graduates of Oxford and Cambridge universities. Our teachers are encouraged to attend important teaching conferences and several have actually given presentations at international conventions. In addition, our renowned Director of Studies regularly holds in-house training sessions, so that every SGI teacher is aware of the most modern best-practice pedagogic procedures and is involved in professional development. The education at SGI is not only for the students: even the teachers study English... the teaching of it, that is! Consequently, we can guarantee that SGI classes are definitely not taught by the type of person who is a “native-English-speaker that travels around the world and does a bit of teaching to make some money on the side”. Unfortunately, some of you may have had the negative experience of this type of person giving you lessons in your own country, but at SGI, there is a commitment and an assurance of teaching professionalism.

Furthermore, SGI has small class sizes, has a clear student feedback policy, provides student tutorial support and everyone in the organisation works very hard everyday to try to ensure the personal goals of each student are met. Moreover, we have the famous SGI daily social program and you have the endless and rich stimulation of the London experience. Therefore, we like to say that there is no better place in the world for you to enjoy immersing yourself in the home of the language and also that SGI is the best place you can find to come and study English.
