Studio Cambridge is one of the longest-established English schools in Britain, we have been part of Cambridge's Education scene since 1954.
Our main school is located in impressive 19th-century buildings belonging to Cambridge University. It is in easy walking distance to the centre of Cambridge and the main railway station, from where there frequent direct train services to London.
We adapt our teaching to the needs and learning styles of our students, following three guiding principles:
-The teaching will be balanced with practice - you will learn and practice English, with an emphasis on speaking.
-Lessons will be centred around you-you will not spend all your time listening to the teacher but will be busy using English in the classroom.
-The language we teach will be recycled - we will not allow you to forget what you have learned!
The nationality and age mix at Studio Cambridge varies over different time periods, courses and levels. Throughout the year, the average age is 15. In the summer, the average age is 15.
Studio Cambridge does not hold classes on the holiday dates below. The school does not compensate for these holidays, so make sure to choose your start date accordingly.
Studio Cambridge main school is just a 2 minute walk from the main railway station and 15-20 minutes' walk from the centre of Cambridge.
The class was good because there were many people that was friendly with me and also i liked that we learned history and politics as theme and also teachers were kind and smily.
Also i was happy to learn the real british accent that i wanted to learn.
I liked also the location because cambridge was beautiful, the weather was good and the city was calm.
The activities were a little bit difficult to signed up but i liked that we can go to some museum or colleges. In addition i was happy to do tennis as practice and also I knew a new sport
like cricket.
I liked my room because it was big and calm but the only problem is that the drain was blocked by some dirt that haad been somewhere and the other problem was that one day there was no hot water.
The location near the train station is very good. The activities in the afternoon was good but there were to many children how didn't know we have afternoon activities.
My stay with the three different hostfamilies was bad.
I like the activities because it can bring me to know about Cambridge history. I think the resident is good , there have a lot of facilities and it is very near to the school so i like it. I think the teachers are very nice if I have something don't understand they very patient to tough me and they are very young so we can talk easily. Some classes I like sometimes I don't like because some room is big and some is small because I like big room. I want to back to Cambridge next summer.

Firstly, we took a test, then met our teachers and had a fantastic walking trip around Cambridge! But it was just the beginning. There are more interesting things you can do and find during every single day you are at Studio.

The facilities was ok. I did two activities, a trip to Brighton and punting. I enjoyed both.

I have no complains:)

Show details » Read more...I passed two weeks in Cambrige at Studio Cambrige. The staff was very friendly. My teachers were excellent, I learnt a lot and I had to speak a lot. The classroom were a bit small, we can't move a lot in the class.
My hostfamily was very kind and I could also speak there. I had to ride with the bicycle to the school. Fortunately it wasn't raining.
The other students were all cooperative and we learnt a lot each to other.
I think, I improved my English a lot. But now I know, two weeks are very short.
Everything was great. Friendly staff, truly interested in what you want to learn and the country you come from. This is reflected in the students, friendly atmosphere, taking care of each other.
I learned a lot, enjoyed it very much.
I liked the school very much and everything is great
The family house is perfect but the house is far from the school
I think this was a very good experience. The school was very nice, it was near enough to the centre of the town and the classrooms were very comfortable. The cafeteria was good but a little expensive. The activities were a lot but not so useful. The teachers were very good but about the class I think the school should check better the student's english level. I loved my host family, they were very nice to me, they helped me for everything I needed.

The second week the classroom was not good. A lot of noise from the street and when we closed the window, it was too hot. In the afternoon we had different teachers. Sometimes it was good, but students were speaking a lot when the teacher was speaking and that I do not like and then I cannot hear what the teacher is saying. With some sudents I went to the Centre from Cambridge, also to Ely, that also was so nice. My home stay was reasonable. The woman was very busy and tired. I was sleeping on the ground, for the matress was to weak I get back pains. From the Church I have had very good contact. By bus I went to school the first week, it was half an hour, it was okay. The second week I went by bike and this was nice also. The time in Cambridge and at the Cambridge Studio was a good time. And I will go on with learning English. I bought some good books. When I arrived on Londen Stansted the taxi driver was waiting for me and this was so easy. Thank you for all the information I get from you and the help.

I'm a guy of 20 years old and they wanted me to come back at 12 o'clock am. We had several problems for the first days until my second week. Initially they didn't understand me until I went to speak with the course director, he was so friendly and he immediately understood me. Before I spoke with him the staff told me that was my fault and that the college has rules. But the lessons were good. I spoke a lot of English and I feel good about myself.
