Thank you for all. I really improved my English and I met a lot of amazing people. The room was perfect!
LAL London is a beautiful English Language school. Firstly, it’s located in a good area where there are amenities and activities. You can spend a wonderful day around the area. The school has a group of great staff, excellent teachers. They are professional and very nice with all of us. The institute organises excellent student activities every day, which helps to create a nice atmosphere with the students. I would definitely recommend LAL to my friends to learn English and to spend a fabulous time here.
It was an amazing trip in LAL School. Course and lessons 10/10. Teacher Casey was a very good teacher. Accommodation – Thank you for cleaning all day!
LAL London is an informative place where everything is awesome. I have learnt a lot here. I met Dan, who is my teacher. He is very professional. He’s like an actor, a good performer. I can always concentrate with him. Sometimes I think I might get distracted from my studies but he helps me focus every time. In the end, I wanna say I like LAL and it has given me a wonderful experience.
I enjoyed my stay, I learned many cultures, to talk to many students from different nations, besides just studying English. It’s a good experience.
With all safety measures in place, we can’t wait to have you back!
