Hello, hello.!! :)

Once again we visit a school. It is Bell International. This school is in the same area than Klapan and Bloomsbury (you can find the visits below this one), therefore you can compare different school which are in the same zone : Holborn.




We have interviewed Silvina the Marketing Manager at Bell London. This school has another one in Cambridge.

Entrance of the school

Hello Silvinia, can you tell us a bit of the Bell’s History?

Yes, of course. Bell was founded in 1955 by Frank Bell, now you know why the name of the school. Frank Bell was a teacher of Spanish and French, he was a war prisoner in the Second World War. It was with his partner in prison when he founded a clandestine university.  After the war he founded what today is Bell school which before was called Bell Language School.


How is one lesson in Bell? What about teacher’s methods? do the students need a book?

Well, it depends on the course you are. We have programmes for young learners from 7 to 17. This group doesn’t need a book. It is the teacher who plan the lesson through excursion, activities, etc..
For adult programmes, they need a book, however, when they enroll the course we give for free the book, they don’t have to buy it.
In our classrooms we have the interactive blackboard, which is really good for students so the lesson is more dynamic.

How many students do you have per lesson?

The classrooms can have a maximum of 14 students but the average is between 7 and 8.

Do you have exam preparation courses like IELTS, Cambridge, TOEFL, TOEIC...?

Yes, we prepare IELTS and all the exams for Cambridge, being specialist in BULATS on of the Business exam for Cambridge. Unfortunately we don’t prepare TOEFL or TOEIC as a course, but people can prepare it by one-to-one (individual lessons)

Do you have a social programme or extra activities for students?

Yes in both programmes. In the adult programme the have one which is included with their programme, this is 2 excursions : one is all day, the other one it is only half of the day, but they have these both excursions every 2 weeks. However every day we suggest an activity and on the weekend they can have an excursion during a whole day to Cambridge, Oxford, or Bath...


And the last one, why do we should choose Bell International?

As you can see apart from the zone, which is central London, Bell is high quality in teaching with a very personal treatment for the students. We are special because our treat with the students.
