Why choose ESL?

We offer the lowest prices on all adult courses and will refund 100% of any price difference if you find the same programme cheaper with another agency or directly with the school.

Last year, 97% of our students claimed they would recommend ESL. The majority of our new students contact us after a recommendation.

Our experienced, multilingual team are here for you before, during and after your stay to ensure you have the experience of a lifetime. You can always rely on our support in the unlikely event that anything should go wrong during your time away.

Unlike some other agencies, we organise all of the administrative steps of inscription completely free of charge. This includes study, accommodation, transfers, visas and any further communication with the school or destination.

Our background in education ensures that we thoroughly understand language learning and keep up to date with the latest developments in teaching.

We select partner language schools according to demanding criteria. As well as academic excellence, a partner school must provide high quality facilities, a welcoming environment, appropriate accommodation, small class sizes at a range of levels, great location, first-class teaching and an exciting activities programme (and much more besides). Our partners are established, internationally recognised and accredited by reputed national and international bodies.
