Quality English Courses in Central London

(KAE) is a British Council Accredited English Language school. As part of David Game College, we have been teaching since 1978. Over the years, we have seen thousands of international students improve their English language skills.

What makes us the best choice?

At KAE, we take pride in creating a friendly atmosphere where staff and class members can get to know each other. Class sizes are kept small, so teachers can give attention to those who need it. We like to treat you as individuals, not just students. Learn more about what makes us different here.

Our English Courses

We have a range of courses for all learners, from beginner to advanced. Whether you want to learn English for work, for future studies or just for fun, we can help. We are able to focus on any area of spoken or written English. For those that need to improve quickly, we have short, intensive courses. We can also offer a choice of slower courses for those with more time.

A Central London Location

Our college is situated within the ‘City of London’. It’s an area best known for being London’s business and banking district. Our central location means we are close to many iconic landmarks with great transport links. The college itself is a newly restored building with modern facilities. This ensures our students have the best possible learning experience over the time that they study with us. Some of our facilities are only available in the summer.

  • Top class computing & IT facilities
