School description

Imagine English Language Academy is located in the heart of Liverpool's City Centre, a city big enough to be lively and exciting but small enough to find your way around and familiarise yourself with quite quickly. Our city is often voted as being the friendliest place in the country.

Being situated in the business district 5 minutes walk from Liverpool One, and along with our standard and tailored courses, it makes us an ideal choice as the place to study English. We offer a variety of courses ranging from General English, Exam preparation (all Cambridge Exams and IELTS), Job preparation, Business English, Cert IBET, English and Art, Family Summer Camps, one to one tuition and much more.

We are a family run school with a passion to help students realise their full potential in a friendly structured environment, you will never just be a number! We understand that you might have to work and learn at the same time and may only be able to attend 2- 3 lessons a week or that you find a particular area difficult and might need extra support. Whatever your needs or requirements are, we will try to find away to help your reach your potential.

At Imagine English we offer a social programme to help build friendships and practice new English skills and we encourage our students to mix with students from other schools by advertising weekend excursions for students across the city, which will help shape your English learning experience.

Two of the Premiership’s biggest football teams; Liverpool and Everton FC are just a short bus ride away. We're just a 5 minute walk from the famous ‘Cavern Club’, which was home to the Beatles and which still hosts amazing live music acts every day. Liverpool is also a major cultural centre that boasts a large number of museums and art galleries, which in most cases are free to visit. There is a vibrant night life which includes many night clubs, bars and live music.

We have seen very good progress, results and feedback of our students has been consistently excellent. With expert English language training in a stimulating and supportive environment, students learn effectively, succeed in achieving their goals and enjoy an exceptional experience at Imagine English.

Guðrún Lára Árnadóttir, student from Iceland

I liked everything about my experience from start of finish! My teacher was so lovely and made the classes really fun yet challenging so we would learn more, my classmates were all so nice and I got to meet so many nice people in those 12 weeks. The experience was perfect and I wouldn't change it for the world, would definitely recommend Image English to anyone who wants to learn more English!

"Friendly, professional, well located, flexible, quality teaching"

Álvaro González Palacios

I would certainly repeat. From the beginning I felt comfortable and I improved my level thanks to personalized and enjoyable classes. I have been in the academy for several months and I finally have the confidence to take a level exam.

The price is not expensive and at all times they have been flexible in terms of schedules.

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from IELA. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 35 when you register.
