School description

We are an independent language school specialised in teaching English. We offer General English, Business English, IELTS and Arabic. Students can study in groups or take private classes, whichever is best for them.
All our teachers are native speakers of English and qualified to at least CELTA level. They are all highly experienced and are the most important asset of our institute.
Ras Al Khaimah is a smaller branch and we have 2 classrooms and a reception area with seating. The teachers and reception staff are all very friendly and, because we are small, we all know each other and often students socialise in the nearby restaurants and bars. We are located in Al Hamra which is very near to the beach and leisure activities. Nearby there are many hotels, restaurants, beaches, shopping facilities and there is even a golf course very near.
Ras Al Khaimah is famous for its outdoor activities and there is the possibility to go hiking, camping in the mountains or the desert and take part in numerous water sports. Ras Al Khaimah is also home to the longest Zip line in the world.

"An excellent, professional and friendly learning environment to learn a language!"

Rey Ribeiro

I attended Speak Language Institute in Ras Al Khaimah and the institute is located very close to the beautiful Marjan Island where they have beautiful beaches and gives you a vacation and study kind of environment at the same time. The institute provided housing in one of the hotel apartments on this island.

The institute is well staffed with many professional teachers and staff. The classes were well organized and the teachers were well prepared for the classes everyday. The books and other materials were of great help during the course and the teachers never hesitated to clear doubts and queries. I also made many new friends at the institute and the group classes were excellent.

The facilities in the building and the institute are great. The toilets are always clean, the classrooms are always clean too.


The location of the institute is very easy to reach and the is not too far from touristic spots in Ras Al Khaimah.

Overall I would definitely study another course at this institute as it offers the best value for money with great experiences.
