At Study and Stay UK, we provide high-quality English as a Second Language (ESL) tuition tailored to students, visitors, and business professionals looking to improve their English skills for daily life, work, and long-term settlement in the UK. Our ESL lessons focus on practical communication, fluency, and confidence-building, ensuring learners can navigate professional and social settings with ease. Whether you’re preparing for job interviews, workplace communication, or simply enhancing your speaking and writing skills, our structured lessons cater to all proficiency levels.
In addition to ESL tuition, we offer expert instruction and preparation for the Life in the UK citizenship test. This test is a crucial step for those applying for British citizenship or indefinite leave to remain, and our structured courses cover all key topics, including British history, traditions, and laws. Through practice tests, interactive lessons, and guided study plans, we help learners feel confident and fully prepared to pass.
We also provide comprehensive preparation for internationally recognized English proficiency exams, including IELTS, OET, CEFR, TOEFL, PTE, and Cambridge English exams (such as FCE, CAE, and CPE). Whether you need to meet visa requirements, secure a job, or gain entry into an academic institution, our tailored exam preparation courses focus on essential skills such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking. We offer practice tests, personalized feedback, and strategic exam techniques to help you achieve your desired score and succeed in your personal & professional goals.
