I keep coming back to study at Bell because it has a very warm atmosphere and the teachers and staff are amazing! They treat you like a member of their family.

Bell arranged this amazing week for my school. We’ve learnt a lot of language skills, visited Cambridge University and the British Museum. The school is a welcoming environment and it’s really diverse.

The tutors were brilliant at guiding, being positive and constructively feeding back. Having done a PGCE and taught in a secondary school for 6 years, I can honestly say this has been the best teacher training I have done.

I really enjoy the quality of education at Bell, that's why I keep coming back. My first course was a CELTA, the second was Contemporary English and the third one is CLIL. The next one will definitely be Becoming a Teacher Trainer.

I didn't learn English in Belgium so my language was elementary level. But I’m so impressed with myself. I’m now C1 and I passed the IELTS with a 7 score. Teachers help you a lot to achieve your goals and focus on what you need.

The best thing about Bell is that the teachers take time to help you when you don't understand and they make you feel important. Studying here is really special.

The lessons are really interesting, interactive and we learn by having fun. They are not boring and seems to go by so quickly! The atmosphere here is great, everyone is really friendly and supportive.

Feedback to students is positive, encouraging and accurate. Teaching at Bell is excellent and results in high levels of student progress. Teachers are experienced, well-qualified and have excellent subject knowledge. Students report that they are extremely well-supported and would recommend the school to others.
