English Course for Beginners in London         

Many other English language schools in London do not do courses for CEFR A1 beginners. At Islington Centre for English we do! Running every afternoon, Monday to Friday, 12.30-3.30pm, we welcome those students who are able to say little more than ‘hello’.

Beginners English courses at our school in London will have a super-friendly tutor who is aware of the fears and insecurities of many low-level students and our classes have no more than 15 students.  It is just as important to build your confidence in a language as it is your grammar and vocabulary!

Common topics at this A1 level include:

• Numbers & letters
• Pronouncing English vowel sounds
• Simple functional English ('At the Post Office', 'Saying hello to your neighbour' and introducing yourself)
• Simple vocabulary areas such as common everyday objects and parts of the body
• Use of the present simple tense

The next step is the Elementary English Course for the more confident beginner. There is always something to aim for!

We pride ourselves in offering excellent value for money, a fully equipped school and welcoming, family atmosphere. We also run a weekly social programme. ICE is a great place to meet people and make new friends whilst improving your English!
