Learn English in London

Hi. I'm Connor and I'm the Principal of Stafford House London. I'm originally from Ireland, but I absolutely love the buzz of London life and of Stafford House. I've been working in English language teaching since 2003 and have taught and trained teachers in Ireland, the UK, France, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, Macedonia, Kazakhstan, Russia and Vietnam. I'm very proud of Stafford House, of our teachers' and staff's hard work and of the welcome we give students. You can speak to me about anything at all, whether it's about how you're settling in in London, your classes or your accommodation.

London is a big, beautiful and bustling place to study!  Whether it’s for a couple of weeks or several months, you’re sure to have a fantastic time here!  However, like all things new, it might take some getting used to.  As the Accommodation Officer for Stafford House, my job is to help you settle in London life, feel comfortable and really enjoy this wonderful city that I call home!

If you have any questions regarding your accommodation, your journey to school or where to go out and have fun, I’m always here and happy to help!

I am originally from Italy and I just moved to London because it stole my heart many years ago. Growing up I found myself very attracted to the English language and that is what introduced me to our wonderful school. Right here in Stafford House London, I attended CAE and CPE classes, and with the help of some very special teachers obtained both certificates. I am now very proud to say that I am the Student Services Officer. Having been a student myself, I can totally relate to your needs. So, If you find yourself in doubt come and speak to me.

My name is Noelia. I am from Spain but I have been living in London since 2012. Before I got to London, I had spent different periods in countries like Italy, Ireland and France – either studying, improving my English skills or working as an Spanish assistant teacher.

The EFL industry was totally unknown to me until 2008, when I was still an undergraduate in English studies and I had my first experience as a group leader in both Ireland and Wales.I have had multilingual office jobs in London, among recruitment and accommodation, until I got my current job as a receptionist in Stafford House in March 2014.It’s great to work in such an international and vibrant environment - to welcome the students in a friendly way and make them feel like they are at home, is probably the most important thing in my role.

As a foreigner myself, I can totally relate to their needs and help them with the best customer service. Apart from Spanish and English, I can also speak Italian, Portuguese and French. I’ve always enjoyed learning languages, and I think that is definitely one of my strengths.

Having been an international student at Stafford House myself, I understand how living abroad can be a huge adventure! As a Student Services Officer at Stafford House London, I help students adjust to their studies in the UK and make the most of life in this amazing city!

I'm originally from the sunny seaside town of Bournemouth, but I've lived in London for 5 years now, and I never want to leave! I have been teaching for about 10 years, in Thailand and Australia and London, and I love working in language schools because of the variety of people I get to meet!

London is an amazing city to live in, and Stafford House is a lovely friendly school, so I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do!

I'm a born and bred Londoner who moved abroad to teach many years ago. I've been teaching for 15 years and have spent a lot of that time teaching Academic English, which I really enjoy. I love teaching all levels of English though and love the cosmopolitan mix of learners that I've found in the classroom here since returning to the UK. 

I enjoy reading, listening to music, going to concerts, learning languages, good food and drink, and spending time with my beautiful family. I'm having a great time being back in London at the moment too for all its cultural opportunities 

I was born in France but I have now lived and worked in London for over 25 years! I came here for a year and loved it so much I never left! I studied Languages and qualified as a translator in French and German, then worked in Finance in the City. 5 years ago, I changed careers to become a teacher and it’s been life-changing for the best!

I absolutely love my job and put a lot of enthusiasm in my lessons as I think it’s important to have fun when learning. I teach exam classes and my past students can tell you how intensive my classes are! We have the best resources to support our students.

I'm an experienced CELTA and DELTA trainer and share the management of the London Teacher Training department. I'm also a Trinity examiner and love spending time training and examining abroad as well as managing the CELTA programme here at Stafford House London. I look forward to meeting our trainees and helping develop the next generation of amazing English teachers.

Hi. I'm Jenny and I’ve been teaching English to non-native speakers for over 20 years. I’m from London, but spent many years working in Russia, including as a Cambridge examiner for the British Council. When I’m not teaching I enjoy the theatre, museums, pubs and eating out, so London’s the perfect location for me, with so much to offer. You can also find me out of town on warm weekends as I’m a fan of long country walks and swimming too. I’m really happy to be here at Stafford House as it has some of the best teachers I’ve met and a really welcoming atmosphere.

I have been working as an EFL teacher for nearly twelve years and have taught general English levels from Elementary to Advanced as well as FCE, CAE, IELTS and Business English. I have taught children and adults and I have been lucky enough to live in Poland, Ecuador and the UK in my role.

As cities go, London has to be one of the best in which to learn English. It’s fast-paced, cosmopolitan vibe means there is always something interesting and fun waiting around every corner. The vast cultural scene in London plays a strong part in my teaching here at Stafford House and I try to incorporate anything and everything that I feel my students will find both engaging and informative. The social programme also offers students loads of activities and it’s always a pleasure to be a part of one of these great excursions and spend time with students outside of the school environment!

My colourful English teaching career comprises many years and continents. Most notably, I have spent a lot of time teaching in Germany and the United States. I have now returned home to London where I am one of the founding members of the Stafford House London teaching team.

I’ve been teaching English for over 7 years now, in Spain and in the UK. During this time I’ve met so many wonderful students and they, along with my geeky love of all things language related, are certainly what make doing the job worthwhile. I feel very privileged to have a job where every day is different and where I am not only teaching, but also learning – learning about different people and different cultures all the time.

Hello! I’ve been working at Stafford house, and enjoying all that London has to offer, since Summer ’15. Since starting teaching just after university I’ve worked in Italy, Spain and Hong Kong, but Stafford House stands out from other schools I’ve experienced in terms of its welcoming atmosphere, excellent facilities and fantastic location. I enjoy running, eating, and learning about language and history, so London is where it’s at for me!

Hi everyone. I've been teaching for many years, and specialise in working with higher level students, especially the Cambridge Proficiency exam. I also love exploring the deeper aspects of the language and wider social and cultural contexts with them as they are so enthusiastic and offer such a range of perspectives on so many subjects. You’re very welcome to join us!

Stafford House is great place to learn not only a new language, but to learn about new cultures. The classes here offer a positive and dynamic environment that allows students to learn and improve a new language whilst making friends. Teaching and learning here is a very active and fun experience, where humour, dedication and a love of learning produce amazing and brilliant results.

I've been with Stafford House since May 2016 and think this is the best school in London! Over the last thirteen years I've taught English in many different schools around the world and I still love meeting new people every week. I look forward to meeting you and helping you improve your English in the classroom and perhaps in some of the marvellous pubs we have in this area!
