WHY STUDENTS CHOOSE TO STUDY AT ELH

Students like the friendly, supportive atmosphere in the school. Because we are not a very large school, ELH staff know all our students and students get to know the staff and each other. Students soon make friends and feel comfortable about practicing their English inside and outside the classroom. This helps them to improve and reach their language goals quickly.

Students can be sure of the quality of teaching and learning at ELH. All ELH staff are qualified, trained professionals and some have many years experience teaching English in the UK and abroad. Our teachers will always give students the time and attention they need to help them become better learners,  reach their full potential and achieve their English Language goals.  ​
Our students are important to us, they become our friends, and we always want to make sure that they are well looked after and happy while in the UK.  

Many of our past students still contact us to tell us about their lives, their careers, or their experiences at University in the UK or abroad. We love to hear from them and we are always very proud of their successes.   

Students who study with us tell us that we are the best provider of English language courses in Milton Keynes. We are very happy to hear this and we try to make sure this is always true !!!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Before you agree to join the school and pay for your English lessons, please make sure you read and understand our student “Terms and Conditions” and our Terms and Conditions for online bookings.
​This is very important because once you have chosen your programme and paid for your lessons these lessons are booked for you and you will not be able to change your mind. If you think this might be a problem tell us about your problem before you pay and book your classes. 

After your start date (ie the date you have chosen to start your course) it may be possible to add more lessons to your study programme but you cannot deduct lessons. Elh will only change your timetable if your level has improved and you can change to a higher level. Elh will not refund or reschedule lessons that students miss.
