Why you should choose Berlitz for your language courses in London
With over 145 years of expertise in language learning, we will teach you a new language based on immersion principles from our renowned Berlitz Method. You will learn the principles and structure of the language in the same way that you acquired your mother tongue. It means that from the first lesson of your language journey, you will speak the language.
We understand that everyone has different goals and needs, which is why we provide a variety of programs to give you the most learning options.

You will attend your language classes in professional corporate offices in a shared office space. Our school is a very high-end location with a traditional English butler on the main door, an excellent reception team and a huge marble interior. We offer complimentary tea and coffee and break-out areas are available across many points. Learners can have access to their rooms outside of lessons if needed for work/personal reasons whilst studying.
All our classrooms have air-conditioning and wifi.
A weekly pub night in London is organised by our language centre - this is a good chance to have a drink on Berlitz, to meet other learners and Berlitz staff.
Berlitz London Homestay Accommodation
Homestay in London is a great opportunity for our students who wish to experience British life.
Berlitz London students will stay with a family in London so they can gain an insight into British life from a family background, while also practising their language skills outside the classroom. Staying with one of our host families is not only a great opportunity to experience British family life, but also to learn about the British culture and way of life in general. The experience that students obtain from staying in a London homestay is invaluable.
We ensure that all of our homestay families are visited on a regular basis by our professional, British Council accredited accommodation agency, to ensure that standards are maintained throughout. All families offer a welcoming and warm atmosphere, with a superb emphasis upon being part of the family.
Information on our offer
We ensure that all of our homestay families live within reasonable travelling distance of the school and students only have to travel 40-50 minutes on average by public transport (Underground, bus or train) between the family and the school. All families are on easy transport links to the city centre, which makes it easy for efficient learning and living.
Students meals are Breakfast and Main Meal (dinner).
- Breakfast: Breakfast usually consists of toast and cereal.
- Main Meal (dinner): Your host family will usually serve the evening meal between 6-7pm. Dinner is freshly prepared every night and may include fish or meat, vegetables and either rice, pasta or potatoes – this is all dependent on the host family.
- Special requests: Most of our homestay families are happy to cater for special diets such as vegetarian, halal or kosher. Mealtimes are a great opportunity to sit down with your family and practise the English you have learnt in the day, offering you a very effective learning environment!
- Standard or First Class Homestay: There are two types of Home-stay Accommodation: Standard and Executive.
- First Class Homestays include en-suite bathroom whereas students in Standard accommodation generally share bathroom facilities.
- First Class Homestays also tend to be either larger houses or higher-quality specification.
Our students can expect the following within their rooms:
- A bed and storage space such as a wardrobe and/or chest of drawers.
- There will also be either a desk in the room or somewhere quiet in the house where you can study.
- The family will provide fresh bed sheets and towels once a week and students have the use of the washing machine.
- Students will be provided with their own key.
- All our families have internet access.
In a standard homestay the student will share the bathroom with family members and/or other students.
If you would like to have access to a private bathroom, please book First Class Homestay.
If you are not happy with your family, please speak to a Berlitz London member or staff. A change of host families can be arranged with one week’s notice.
Homestay families can host between 1 and 4 students in their house. Each student has to have their own bedroom and students who speak the same native language are not placed together, unless they request it.
