The Standard English Course has 3 hours of classroom study each morning from Monday to Friday. This very popular General English course helps students quickly achieve more confidence with English, communicate more effectively in the language and also have plenty of time to discover the benefits of London.
The course is designed to give you language confidence and help you develop the skills you need to function in an international context. With small group sizes (average class size 8), the course enables teachers to give you substantial individual attention and personalised advice on specific areas to focus on.
You will have the opportunity to improve your all-round ability in English by working on speaking, grammar and vocabulary development, pronunciation, listening, reading and writing skills.
Our experienced and well-trained teachers have a creative and energetic approach to the course which ensures you have stimulating and enjoyable lessons. The course uses real-world materials from the internet and other media to ensure you are always studying ‘real English’
I will give SGI and its teachers my warmest recommendations.
Henrik from Denmark
I joined St. George International language school as I wanted to improve my Business English language and understand a lot more of what is being said. The Director of Studies arranged my first course with a number of different teachers throughout the day to challenge me in as many different business and language areas as possible over this very intensive week of study.
Despite having to travel to London, I have continued having intensive One-to-One courses with SGI, as they are able to keep challenging your language and ensure you focus on the small important details. I will give SGI and its teachers my warmest recommendations.
I really recommend you to take this course if you want to make a lot of friends.
Kenichiro from Japan
I really recommend you to take this course if you want to make a lot of friends. I will never forget that once we went out and took a lesson in the pub, eating English fish & chips and drinking beer! (but, this is not usual). I met people from all over the world from Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia and South America. We always went out somewhere after our class and at the weekends, from famous London tourist places, to playing football in the park and clubbing!
If you want to experience real British life, a Homestay is a good choice. I actually stayed with a family which has 3 children and a dog in south London for about 6 months. The family was really friendly, especially the mother, she always comforted and took care of me. We sometimes BBQ at the weekends and went to some events such as music concerts or Notting Hill Carnival with the dog. I still keep in touch with them and I call the mother ‘my English mother’.
So, at SGI I saw real improvements in my English language. I could not speak English at all 3 years ago, but I am now writing my story here in English. I am not a superior student or a genius. All you need is to decide to come to SGI and a little effort to study. And keep in your mind ‘Enjoy!’ I had such great fun during my study in London which I cannot write here because it is too much!
My 1-1 teacher really helped me to understand a lot about American and British civilisation

It totally exceeded my expectations.
Agnes from Guinea
An interesting perspective of the economic world combined with a stimulating teaching style that encourages critical thinking. It totally exceeded my expectations.
This whole experience at SGI was very important for my IELTS exam. I would recommend it to all my friends and everyone who would like to apply to university.
