Polar Choice - Accommodation and Education

Hello everyone,

We are here one more time to show you our visit to the school Shane Global.

We have interviewed Steven the Sales Manager of the school. Before we start with the interview I want to say that this school is settled in a great area, just the centre of London. The nearest tube station is Bond Street and from there you will only walk 1 minute.

Can you tell us more about the history of the school?

The school was founded by Shane Lipscombe. He was travelling around the world. He went to Japan where he started to teach English in his kitchen and the number of students grew so fast that he decided to open a school and settled up his first company.  We have a big group of schools in Japan about 160 schools.

It was in the 90s when the first Shane Global School was opened in UK, here in London. 

How is one lesson in Shane Global? Do students need a book?

Basically, we are also a teaching training centre, therefore our trainers teach our students as well. They use audiovisuals and a book, so the students need to buy a book which we sell in the school. Also, all our teachers are high qualified, having CELTA + a degree.

Do students need to take am English level test before enrolling a course? 

Yes. On the first day in the morning they need to take it and according to the result we will put them in the correct group.Students can start any course every Monday as the courses are designed in order to give the opportunity to students for joining the course any time. 

How many students do you have per classroom? 

We have a maximum of 12, however the average is 10 students.

The computer's room

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

Yes we do IELTS and TOEIC. For TOEFL yes and no, it is a bit difficult to say at this moment, but definitely we do IELTS. 

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

Yes, minimum 3 times per week we do activities as well as in summer 


And the last one, why do we should choose Global Shane? 

Well as you can see we have a great location. You can walk just 1 minute from Oxford Street and Bond Street what is perfect for students to hang out, go for a coffee, do their shopping, etc.Furthermore, the very friendly atmosphere that we have in the school and our fantastic roof terrace.
