Course description

Our General English course is designed to improve all areas of your English, increasing your vocabulary, enhancing your grammar, boosting your written work and strengthening your reading skills. We encourage individual learning and independence through working alone, in pairs and in groups. We often use authentic written texts and listening material from newspapers and magazines, television and video, the Internet and other sources as well as using a variety of teaching methodologies that aim to develop both fluency and accuracy in the language.

We use up-to-date textbooks and teaching methods, as part of a syllabus that is regularly revised to keep our lessons as fresh and modern as possible. Fortnightly testing is also carried out so that your progress can be checked and monitored and which highlights and which parts of your English need extra help.

"Amazing"

Romane Simon, student from France

It was such an amazing experience. I stayed during 3 months in the B1 class and I improve so much. At the beginning I couldn't speak with the other and I was bad. But, thanks to the great teachers, I improve a lot. The teachers are so kind and they know how to explain well English for people who don't speak English.
We are not many in the classes, so it's better for more individualized explanations.

The school is located at Greenwich, it's not so far from the center and it's a very nice place with a great view in the Greenwich Park and some very nice restaurant. It's easy to go to the center of London because you have the train where you can go to London Bridge and Charing Cross, you have also the DLR to go to Canary Wharf until Bank.

The school propose a social programme every afternoon and some activity and visits during the week-end. Its' so good because could can easily find a friend and speak in english.as much as possible and not only at school. The social programme propose cheap prices for some visits or activities.
I have no negative points.

"Studies are well organized, very professional teachers"

Angela Voropinov, student from Israel

The rooms are very good equipment, comfortable tables, chairs and their location: I saw all students and teacher. The book, which we used, very colored, understanding and nice. I liked exercises which we did in class and in home.

The teachers are very professional, they created very nice learning atmosphere. The teacher always answered all question, gave equal attention to all students and involved all.

I very like the location of the college. There is easy to get to college, it is next to rail station and bus. The college is located in very interesting area, next to history sites and river Tames.

"Amazing experience and the best teachers!"

Sofia Shchukina, student from Russia

I would say the OIES in Greenwich is a wonderful place for improving your English language skills. I met people from different parts of the world and practiced with load of accents.
All the teachers are respectful and kind! They also try to provide any support and advices you need.

I didn’t really enjoyed “SCAPE” accommodation because of bad WiFi connection and coldness in rooms. But anyway it’s good location, near underground station “North Greenwich” (Jubilee line) and bus stops. Moreover there are several supermarkets in this area.

So if you want to spend time in good atmosphere and grow up as an English speaker, you defo should join Oxford International English school in Greenwich, London!

Thank You very much for one of the best period in my life !

"Good experience but too young(19 was the average) people in October."

Cristian Guerrasio, student from Italy

The morning class was not very good, too many people from France(10 til 13) and too small classroom.
In the afternoon, very good lessons, the young teachers were really kind and skillful.
Mac Millian's student score for me was five out of 10.
