Student Testimonial

I chose EC because it is a famous school with a good reputation.

I have learned a lot of things and I have improved a lot. I now know how to talk to other people in English.I really enjoyed studying, making new friends and meeting people from around the world.

Playing football with my friends was my favourite EC activity and I liked using English all the time in my accommodation. I would recommend EC Manchester to anyone, the staff here are more helpful than other schools.

I will never forget anything from my stay.

Teacher Testimonial

I am a native English speaker and have been an EFL teacher since I graduated from University in 2012. I have worked in various language academies in Manchester and have spent two years living and working in different areas of Spain teaching English. I also have experience teaching in mainstream English schools where I have taught phonics and Spanish to children of different ages. During my time as an EFL teacher I have had experience teaching the First Certificate exam whereby students have gone on to be successful and find jobs in English speaking countries. I also have experience teaching IELTS for Academic Purposes, Business English and English for Young Learners.

Learning tips: Talk, talk, talk! The most important way of increasing confidence and improving your English is to put what you have learned in the classroom into practice. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes and motivate yourself by doing activities you enjoy…but make sure they are in English!

My classes are interactive and fun with lots of opportunity to speak! I feel the best way to learn is to use the English you have previously learned into conversation and to have fun doing it.
