Between us, we have a combined 17 years experience in the EFL industry which covers teaching, administration, activity leading and management positions and naturally, used this to our advantage when setting up our own school.

Our ethos is quite special and this is what we believe and strive to achieve:

 

 

 

  • An educational trip abroad should be one of the most memorable experiences in a teenager’s life - we pull out every stop to ensure that this is the case.
     

  • We break down barriers, bring students together and get them working as one - students relax in our environment and as inhibitions disappear, confidence grows, friendships develop and memories are made.
     

  • All learners can be inspired to learn effectively given the right encouragement and support - we create an environment where students learn and have fun!
     

  • We are great advocates of the idea that educators should instill a ‘can do’ attitude in their students - our teachers reflect this in the classroom.
     

  • Successful learning comes from being challenged and motivated - achieving this is one of the main aims of our tuition.
     

  • We were teenager’s once (not so long ago!) and are still young at heart - we know what makes them tick and know how to have fun ourselves.
     

  • How can we be sure students are having a great time? - we join in as much as possible; we teach, lead activities, mingle during lunch and even perform in the Mackenzie School Talent Show!
     

  • We never lose sight of the vision - making money is never more important than making memories and watching students having the time of their lives.
     

  • We care about each and every individual - you travel as a group but EVERYONE in the group should be happy and satisfied.
     

  • We ensure the safety and well-being of our students - we leave nothing to chance and never put students at risk. We also subscribe to the Natwest Mentor Services for Health & Safety advice; they keep us up-to-date and in line with legislation.
     

  • We don’t just do it – we do it exceptionally well!
     

  • This is not just a job - it’s a lifestyle and we wouldn’t change it for anything else!
