Student support

Struggling students are offered free 1:1 classes together with a specific learning programme that focus on their weaknesses to help bring them up to the required level. This unique level of individual support ensures no student gets left behind.

Sightseeing

The Lake District

This iconic region is the most beautiful place in England. The combination of the glacial lakes and rugged mountains mean a visit here is like walking through a postcard. Our guides will take you to the parts that other tourists don’t know about, creating a special memory to take home.

Free

International Food Day

To celebrate the diversity of our staff and students we each bring in some food from our countries to share with the school. A great way to learn about other cultures and practice general conversation.

I am glad for being in this school. Everything is going beyond amazing, the school is following the guidance and rules to prevent the virus spread, the staff and the teachers are careful and cooperative. I can say honestly that we all in the school are receiving a high quality learning, same as before COVID-19 and better.

I have chosen EC Manchester because of my agency, they recommended me EC and to be honest, my favourite football team is Manchester United. So I had no choice! After a few weeks, my English was way better than before but I don't know why! Was it because of the amazing teachers or the familiar atmosphere, I really don't know.

I really enjoyed my time in Manchester! The teachers at EC Manchester helped me a lot to improve especially my listening and speaking skills, so now I am able to chat with native speakers without any bigger problems. But EC Manchester was not only a great school, but also an amazing place to make friends. In addition, EC Manchester provides some great services and activities like ‘football afternoon’, bowling, a ‘welcome drink’ and guided tours to other cities! In general, I can recommend a stay in Manchester and especially EC Manchester, to everybody who wants to improve their English skills and have a great time.

I had the opportunity to improve my English with qualified and funny teachers, but also to meet new friends from all over the world – I enjoyed my time with games and activities in the afternoon, because this school offers a wide choice of both cultural visits and sport events. I recommend this school to everyone who comes in Manchester to study English. Just come and see! Thank you EC Manchester, you have been for me an amazing adventure!

Teacher Testimonials

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.

No matter what your level, try to use you English outside the classroom as much as possible! Manchester is a friendly and diverse city, so while studying here you have a great opportunity to practice speaking and listening to people in English 24 hours a day! Another great resource is the BBC IPlayer, which has loads of great English language TV programmes with optional English subtitles.

Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, after all, it’s the only way to learn. Besides, native speakers sometimes make mistakes too! Step out of your comfort zone and try something you’ve not done before – ask for directions, start a conversation with a shop assistant, or simply chat with a complete stranger. You’ll feel so much better about yourself. Think of learning English as training for a marathon – it’s important that you do something for it every single day, and the results will follow!
