Who we are
We're a small team with over 30 years of experience giving classes. We met working together in Bilbao and in this time realised all the ways we felt the experience of teaching English could be improved. Study English is our passion project that has been in development for years and we bring that passion to every single class. We have seen what works and what doesn't and have designed courses with the aim of making learning truly interactive and enjoyable. We hope to see you soon in class to share this journey with you.
Changing the narrative
In the past we have worked for many different companies and academies, and the story is always the same. Students are a number. We were often hired by Academies and companies that advertised new and exciting methods, when in reality these are just methods to get you to sign up and all responsibility would fall to the teachers. Who often didn't have qualifications or real experience.
We want to change that. We are a multilingual team and know the challenge learning a new language can be. We created Study English with student satisfaction as our core value. We want to personalise your learning experience to your goals and be with you every step of the way, and change the narrative from students feeling like just another number.
Our teachers are trained, with a minimum of 5 years of experience, and we support our teachers and students alike to make sure our courses adapt and evolve to you, as your level of English does too.
If this sounds like the type of experience you want to be part of don't hesitate to get in touch for more information!
We hope to see you soon,
The Study English team
