Shaping the Future of English Language School Decision Making
We are committed to nurturing a neutral platform for English Language Schools and are helping to maintain high standards.
Who Are We?
We are an English School review site made for students to help them make good decisions about their English school decision making.
- English School Review has come a long way from its beginnings. When first started out, our passion for business growing drove them so that English School Review can now serve future English language learners from all over the world, and are thrilled that we're able to turn our passion into our own website.
We hope you enjoy English School Review as much as we enjoy offering them to you. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Our Values
Resilience
We push ourselves beyond our abilities when faced with tough times. When we foresee uncertainty, we address it only with flexibility.
Acceptance
Feedback is never taken personally, we break it into positive pieces and strive to work on each and every element even more effectively.
Humility
It’s always ‘us’ over ‘me’. We don’t lose ourselves in pride or confidence during individual successes but focus on being our simple selves in every which way.
Spark
We believe in, stand for, and are evangelists of our culture - both, within English School Review and externally with all our stakeholders.
Judgment
It’s not our abilities that show who we truly are - it’s our choices. We aim to get these rights, at least in the majority of the cases.
