Class of (last) week!

Our “class of the week” initiative is proving very popular with students and teachers alike! However, last week, it was an afternoon class that won the certificate, so we didn’t have time to tell you. This means there will be two classes of the week this week, although one is from last week! We hope that all makes sense…

Anyway, the class that was chosen to be Class of the Week last week was the Pre-Intermediate PM class. Their teacher, Joanna, nominated them as they work really hard and really enjoy learning English. Congratulations to them all!

The students in the class last week were – Abdullah, Tariq, Maram, Faisal, Bdoor, Tahani, Diego, Rocio Cecelia, Valerio, Antoine, Rosalia Eugenia, Andres Mauricio, Pascal, Fabiana, Miguel Eduardo.

This week’s class of the week

This week’s class of the week is the Pre-Intermediate B class! Here some of them are pictured with their teacher, Jess.

Jess nominated them because they have worked hard and have made her laugh a lot this week!

The students in the class this week are Bayan, Tariq, Omar, Faisal, Diego, Tiziana, Antoine, Gerhard, Rosalia, Pascal and Miguel.

What DO our students think about Glasgow School of English?


At Glasgow School of English we like to think that we try very hard to provide good teaching, interesting activities and helpful support and advice.  Over the years, we have discovered that the best way to find out if we are getting things right is to ask our students, so every three months that’s what we do!

Our latest survey covers the first three months of 2019.  We ask our students a range of questions covering the teaching, the materials and books we use and the trips they have.   We’re pleased to say that the results are very good. All (100%) of our students like the friendliness of the School and they would all recommend us to their friends. 93% agree (or strongly agree) that the teachers make the lessons interesting and challenging and 92% like our trips and events. When it comes to the crucial question of whether their time spent with us has actually improved their English, 96% say it has.  You can see the full results in the table below, followed by some of the comments the students made about their time with us.  We have not given the students’ names, but have shown which country they are from and, as you can see, we really do have students from all over the world!
