London
London is undoubtedly one of the most exciting places to visit in the world. There are many new and interesting things to discover. From the history of the Tower of London, Windsor Castle and Hampton Court to some of the most recognised landmarks in the world like Tower Bridge, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. If you like museums and art galleries then you can go to the British Museum, the Natural History, Science Museum and Tate Modern Gallery. If you prefer music then visit the home of rock and roll and the birthplace of punk. If shopping is your thing, head to Notting Hill and Camden markets for a bargain or trail the ‘high street’ along Oxford and Regent’s streets. Whatever you like you will love London.
History
Answer English was founded by James Herbertson in February 2006. James spent a summer of a life time in Malaga in 1997 learning Spanish. The opportunity to meet people and make friends from all around the world, speaking in another language (and being understood!) proved to be his inspiration.
James was made to feel very welcome by those he met, even when his Spanish left a lot to the imagination, and vowed to one day work in the language industry. Answer English was set up to give students the best possible chance to enjoy the city of his birth, London, and the opportunity to learn English.
FREE Independent Advice
We help students from the moment they decide to study in London to the moment they leave to go home. If you are finding it difficult to find the best course for you Answer English can help you every step of the way from planning your course to what places to visit in London. We offer FREE independent advice and make finding the best school and accommodation for you easier.
We visit all the schools regularly to ensure they meet Answer English standards and are in constant contact with the Principals and their teams to ensure your stay at their schools and accommodation is a happy one. Answer English is not affiliated to any one particular school and advise you objectively according to your own particular needs. Whatever your budget, background, timescale or preferences we can find you a solution adapted to your unique requirements.
FREE English Practice
One of the greatest challenges facing language students when learning English is to meet native speakers. Answer English gives you the opportunity to not just learn English at quality London Language schools but importantly to meet native speakers and practise outside of class.
Naturally when you go to a language school there is the temptation to group together with people from your own country and speak in your own language. With every course booked through Answer English you receive 1 hour of practise with a native speaker every week, become a member of our Language Learning Community, are invited to our Social Events and receive our regular classes by e-mail all for FREE. Answer English will ensure you build your confidence at speaking in English.
Testimonials
Olga (Canary Islands, Spain): Answer English has helped me a lot adapt to a city so different like London. Especially during the first days when you feel lost and a little overwhelmed. Thanks to this company I found new places to go out and met people that have helped me not only improve my language but also spend some great times in typical English pubs over a few pints.
Natalia (Spain): My experience with Answer English has been very good. Every time something has arisen they have been there for me which you really appreciate when you are abroad. If you need help don’t hesitate to speak with them. James is head of the team and is one great person and from the first moment they all help you a lot.
Christen (USA): The website is beautiful! I signed up too! You seem to be doing so well. Congratulations! You and your website are a great inspiration, did you know that?
