Join our school of English in Torbay
Learn English at the very heart of the English Riviera, the birthplace of Agatha Christie. You can enjoy the sun, go shopping during the day, feast on fresh fish and party into the night! Come to our school of English in Torbay!
With our recently renovated school of English in Torbay, you will notice that this area truly has something for everyone: Paignton’s sandy beaches, Brixham’s fishing port and Torquay’s busy town centre are just some of the options. Likewise, enjoy the water park, beaches, history, go-kart racing, pubs, clubs, restaurants… you name it, we have it! Almost as far south as you can go, and with the best temperatures in Britain, your umbrella will not see very much action.
In and around Torbay, the beautiful scenery and nature will hypnotize you. Furthermore, you will learn English in England with the world famous Dartmoor on the doorstep. However, if you prefer urban life, the historic cities of Plymouth and Exeter are within easy reach. Else, take a day trip to Bath to bring the Romans and Jane Austen to life!
As you can see, LAL Torbay is the perfect place to take an English course during your holiday.

Hunters Lodge is a traditional student accomodation building and the experience of living in this residence is recommended to any student studying at LAL Torbay.
The English course is really good and I have the feeling that I am learning a lot here. The teachers are very lovely and give a lot of attention to the students so that I almost feel like I am in private lessons. I like Hunters Lodge because it’s a great opportunity to really get to know new friends from other cultures and to practise English outside the school.
I learnt how to express myself, how to listen, how to write and to believe in myself. I sincerely think that LAL is a good school, and all of the teachers are so kind, good listeners and understanding. The teachers get along with all of the students.
My Intensive English course covered all the basics in the morning but then lessons were more specific and sophisticated in the afternoon, mixing with students from other classes. The teachers had good British English and classes were mostly a good size (less than 10) during my 3 week stay.
I instantly fell in love with Malta. I love swimming and sunbathing at the very beautiful beaches however my favourite activity on the island is actually shopping! I would recommend IELS to anyone who would like to learn English in an amazing atmosphere.
Living and studying in Cape Town was amazing. It’s impossible to describe everything I learned here. It’s not only about learning English, it’s about different cultures, styles of life and making friends. I will miss everything and everyone here.
I want to improve my English that’s why I’ve been staying for one month at LAL. It was a good experience because I met people from different countries, new friends and I can practice English everyday.
Capetown is a lovely place, I really enjoy it. The teachers in LAL teach well and they are so cool. The staff in the school is also sociable. Concerning my accommodation, I like it, my room is clean and has enough space even I shared it.
