For about half a year now, I have been studying at Speak Up London, and I can wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone who wants to improve their English. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for Lucas from Speak Up London. He is someone who truly makes studying at the school comfortable, well-organised, and genuinely enjoyable. Lucas is always attentive, ready to help with any questions, and quick to find solutions in both academic and organisational matters. He creates a sense of confidence and a warm, friendly atmosphere, even when you are far away from home. Thanks to his professionalism, kindness, and genuine support, the school becomes a place you are happy to come to every day. Lucas, thank you sincerely for your care, support, and humanity. You make studying here not only effective but truly inspiring and heartwarming!

Una fantastica esperienza che non dimenticherò mai. Sono stata a Londra per migliorare il mio inglese ma ho trovato una famiglia composta da amici provenienti da tutto il mondo e lo devo alla scuola e alla bravura degli insegnanti ma ancora di più ai social programme e le gite fuori porta che mi hanno dato la possibilità non solo di visitare posti nuovi come Canterbury, Cambridge e Brighton ma anche parlale e conoscere nuove persone. Da qui il mio inglese è migliorato notevolmente! Grazie mille Speak Up London a presto! ☺️
