Technical issues

Organizational matters

I wanted to improve my English to a level of competency that would allow me to get a qualified job in London. With a help of Andrej’s coaching sessions, I was able to set smart and achievable objectives in learning the language as well as realise my strengths and weaknesses.

Individual online lessons (type: Gold): “I took on the individual online lessons (category: Gold) and started from the pre-intermediate level. When I just began my studies, I was anxious of not being able to get the positive results from the process. Despite my “gremlins” and, due to the personal support and coaching sessions from Art of Learning International, I was inspired to achieve the set targets. I would like to express my sincere gratitude towards the team and my English tutor Evgenia in particular for the personal, tailor-made approach to my learning. I do plan to continue studying, as learning English has become the integral part of my life… :)”

They have provided us with the tailor-made solution to our needs. Our son is preparing himself to enter the university in England. It is a challenging task, as he needs to go through a rigorous preparation process i.e. learning secondary school subjects in English, etc. Art of Learning International have advised us on taking the right path and suggested to enter a specialized language school in London, where our son have been able to improve his English skills dramatically. We also take individual and group online lessons at Art of Learning International with native speaking certified tutors of English.

Thank you very much Art of Learning International for taking great care of us!”

Natalia Maslennikova

International Language Courses: “I was placed for 4 weeks in a good quality language school right in the centre of London (i.e. Convent Garden). The prices were very competitive. Keeping their advertised promise, Art of Learning International charged me at the language school rates i.e. no mark-ups added. In Moscow it is impossible to find such competitive offers with the great value for money. Additionally, Art of Learning International provided me with the family homestay accommodation in London that I liked very much. All tutors in the language school were native speaking, certified specialists. All-in-all, I relished my educational trip to London with Art of Learning International, as I was able to improve my English skills and explore London and other parts of the UK at a fraction of price I would have spent with Russian agencies otherwise. I was completely satisfied with Art of Learning International quality of service and would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a memorable educational trip to the UK and London in particular.”
