Martina, Switzerland:

"I really enjoy my time at Shane very much. The school is extremely welcoming and the atmosphere is very intimate, because the school is not so big. They also organize a weekly social programme in which the teachers sometimes participate. This contributes to a relaxed relationship with them. The class sizes are small, so you have to participate and to speak a lot. Also the learning approach is innovative, including games and exam practice.

And all this in the centre of one of the most exciting cities in the world! I have really fallen in love with London. A city of a thousand faces, where you can live the most incredible experiences and sightseeing every day and night."

I also like the variation of people, restaurants, nightclubs, bars and museums. There is always something going on in the city. You never get bored, because there is always something to do. You discover new places all the time. When I go home, I’ll tell my friends about my great experience, and I will suggest them to take the chance of studying English in London. I’ve learnt so much and I’ve made wonderful friends from all over the World."

Binaji, Sweden:

"I like the school, because you can, with the teacher, affect what you want to learn. And you meet a lot of different people from different cultures. People in general are great in London, very friendly. And there are a lot of things to do in London, sightseeing, clubbing, shopping, etc."

Miriam Ortiz Ochoa, Spain:

Really I choose SGLC because it was that kind of course I needed. I speak English but I need to improve my grammar. The time, groups and lessons are perfect for my expectations. The situation in the middle of important area is very good as well. The staff and the teachers are very kind and excellent.

The atmosphere in the school is friendly. I like much the social programme because you can visit museums, pubs, and to go to some beautiful towns.

London is magic, is one of the best cities I have been. You can feel energy and fun in everywhere. I will tell my friends about this school!"

Anna,Swede, Kilian, Switzerland, Thomas, Switzerland & Annamaria, Hungary

"We enjoyed the English pub. Culture the most, because it was a great chance to socialize and get a little bit “tipsy”!! All the students are very kind, and understand the difficulty of coming to a new country to study.

School has a great atmosphere. And the teachers are very friendly. The lessons are always interesting and fun, the time passed quickly. London is a cosmopolitan city was you could find anything and everything…

Especially friends that you’ll keep forever."

Work Experience in London

Sezin, Turkey –“It’s a great working atmosphere. Thank you very much for giving me the chance to have this opportunity. Anyone looking for work experience has to try it!”

Work Experience 2008-2009

Sema, Turkey – “I had a great time in Shane Global London School. As I was working there, I learned many things and gain lots of experience. Everybody who works there is so kind, friendly and helpful. I strongly recommend everybody to be an intern in Shane to have the same experience like me.”

Work Experience 2008-2009

Neus, Spain – “I remember when I first arrived in the school I was not really self confident. At first I was very shy and I tried to say as little as possible. Yet, after a few weeks, I talked to everybody. I think it really helped me to feel like if I was speaking my first language.”

Work Experience 2008

Claudia, Spain – “I am doing very well in Impact Agency. People there are very nice and don't hesitate to help me whenever I need anything. I've only been there for a week but I can feel it's going to be a great experience for me. Not only will I improve my English, but I will also be able to gain a lot of experience and many other skills.”

Work Experience 2009-2010

Marta, Spain – “En junio de 2009 acabé mi carrera universitaria en España y antes de ponerme a trabajar en Madrid quería perfeccionar mi inglés. Busqué distintas academias para venirme a Reino Unido y tras compararlas no dudé en que la mejor opción era Shane Global. Shane Global está formado por una excelente plantilla tanto de profesores como de personal administrativo. Durante el mes en que asistí a la academia observé cómo mi inglés mejoró en poco tiempo. Sin embargo, los beneficios de Shane Global no acaban ahí. Actualmente, estoy realizando mi work experience en una empresa inglesa. Creo que no hay mejor manera de empezar en el mundo profesional que tener una experiencia laboral en el extranjero y más si es en Londres. Trabajar en Londres es una experiencia única. No sólo me permite adquirir conocimientos en el área del marketing que es al que me quiero dedicar sino que me permite seguir mejorando mi inglés, esta vez enfocado al mundo profesional. Creo que es una oportunidad única.”
