"I was able to learn English because of these enthusiasm teachers of this school. My English knowledge is not perfect but this is not their faults. I am a bit language antitalent. School is located a very good place near Russell Square. Every good Museums, Theatres are very close and complet London central sights are in walking distance. But with very good bike share service you can reach out almost everything in London. I really recommend this school to learn English."

"I am lucky had the opportunity to join the St Giles Fam Trip and visit five of their campuses. The experience was truly impressive — each campus has its own unique character and atmosphere, which gave me a much deeper understanding of the schools. This valuable insight will help me provide clearer and more professional advice to my students in the future. Many thanks to St Giles for the warm welcome and thoughtful arrangements! What stood out to me most was the quality of their academic design and teaching. The courses are exceptionally well-structured, and the teaching methodology reflects a high level of professionalism and care. As one of the most established language schools, St Giles truly lives up to its reputation. Beyond academics, the standard of accommodation is excellent and I was also impressed by how much attention the staff pay to students’ well-being and extracurricular life. It is a genuinely outstanding environment for international students to study, live, and grow."

The staff is incredibly welcoming, and the teachers are kind, patient, and full of energy. What I loved the most is that they have different schools tailored to various ages and interests, yet they all share the same goal: helping students discover English culture while learning high-quality English."
