Polar Choice - Accommodation and Education

Hello again!!

This week we have visited Bloomsbury International. This is school is in the center of London, near Holborn (tube station).

We have interview Marc the Sales Executive of the School.

Tell us more about the history of the school...

We are the first school here in this area, we open in 2004. The reason why started was to offer a really good, high quality, lots of choices, different courses and flexibility for students and a good price for central London.

How is one lesson in Bloomsbury?

Well, we have 26 classrooms and 22 of them have interactive blackboard which is really good for students as they can participate and interact with internet, different links, etc, through the blackboard.

So, it is very interactive a lesson here.

Entrance of the school

Do the students need a book?

Yes, we supply a book depending on which class they are going to. We use different books for each language level. Whenever you come in, you will need and use a book.

Then, the students need to take a level test, right?

Well, what we usually do is when we have an enquiry, we send them an English test just to get an idea of the level before they arrive. Then, once you arrive to the school on Monday we test them again, this time we will speak with them and check their speaking level, thus we make sure to place them in the correct level.

How many students do you have per lesson?

We have a maximum number of 14 students, however the average is about 8 or 9.

Talking about lessons, I see that you prepare specific exams like IELTS, CAE, FCE, is this right?

Yes, correct. Probably our most popular course is IELTS. We also prepare TOEFL and TOEIC as we are a test centre.

A classroom

Well, to finish the interview, do you do extra activities or have a social programme?

Yes of course. In the summer we run a social programme everyday as we have a lot of students and in the lower seasons we do 2 or 3 activities weekly such as going to the pub, walking around the city and visiting museums.

Why do we should choose Bloomsbury International for studying?

Because we give a great experience to the student as we are an independent school so it is easier for us to give a more personal service to students.

We are friendly and the atmosphere in the school is relaxed and fun. Also, the zone is absolutely good, in central London with a tube station very close to the school.
