ELC - English Learning Centre

Viewpoints

“We have said for years that this type of educational service has been missing from Hungary” Mark Davies, interim Principal of an international school in Budapest

“ELC’s attention to getting the well qualified and experienced staff will make a big difference in children’s progress” David Clapp, former Principal of Britannica and Department Head at the British International School Budapest (BISB)

“The foundation teacher is not just an excellent teacher, but has real pedagogical skills. Both his personal and your entire school's approach towards the students and teaching English, is something that makes your institution really valuable”. Kinga Pall, mother of Beni aged 6.

The English Learning Centre will be a vital support for my 7 year old son. He attends a good Hungarian school but his English is well above his peer group and he will certainly benefit from regular contact with native English speakers in a learning environment.

“The results that the ELC teachers achieved just in a few month time, was much more than I ever expected. Hanna enjoys going to ELC, even after her long hours in the local Hungarian school. She never ever wanted to miss a class in ELC as she loves learning English”. Read more Kiss Katalin, mother
