At English Steps we have students from all over the world, but mostly from Europe. We accept students above the age of 18 (or younger if they are accompanied by an adult) and we like to have a mix of age groups.

​You can read reviews from some of our students here and some of our testimonials:

"I'm pleased to say that English Steps is the best course that I've done. These three weeks have been very fun and I´ve learnt a lot of English. It was a treat to help other people with the volunteering. Actually, I can´t fault the course thanks to the teachers and especially to Harry because he was always there when you needed something." - Juan Carlos, 54, Spain

"I am really happy I chose English Steps. I had to take the IELTS exam with at least 7.5 overall and 7 at each section. I tried two times before and each time I scored 6 at bouth speaking and writing. After just one week of 1-to-1 courses I took the exam and scored 7.5 at speaking and 7 at writing. Therefore I think they do a great job. I didn't have the time and energy to enjoy other activities but I think those must be great too." Andreaa, 32, Romania

"The best place to learn and improve your English" Nicolas, 21, France

"It's been a real pleasure to share all these weeks with the English Steps Teachers: Val, Samson, Amy and especially with Harry Stevens, a great host and a very friendly and reliable person. Maybe one day I'll be back to Leeds to have fun and learn at the same time." Francisco, 42, Spain

Why do our students choose English Steps?

Why did you come to English Steps?
I came to English Steps to refresh my English after many years. I’m an English Language Teacher in Italy and I needed to check my spoken language because teaching English to lower levels only implies a reduced number of words and I wanted to brush up on my vocabulary to teach also higher levels.

How was your experience? What did you improve?
I stayed there only for 2 weeks but all the words that I thought were forgotten came back …thanks to the conversation lessons with top rate teachers and to the 24 hour exposure to the language in different situations and always with a teacher by my side.

What are you doing now?
 I’m teaching, as I wanted, to higher level students and also to kids. The two kinds of students that need a teacher with a rich vocabulary and a good pronunciation.

Why did you come to English Steps?
I came to English Steps to improve my job prospects. I'd finished my degree in Engineering, however many of the job positions I was applying for required a B2 level of English. Then I decided to go abroad in order to start an English course would give me a proper speaking level to get an engineering job in Spain.

How was your experience? What did you improve?
I stayed with English Steps for 6 months. I started with the basics and finished by taking and passing the Cambridge First exam. Despite never enjoying learning English in Spain, my speaking and listening improved a lot after few weeks, and also my confidence in English thanks to the real-life practice during the whole day. I also made a lot friends there who I am still in touch with

What are you doing now?
 I had applied for a job in Barcelona to work for Nissan before going to Leeds, and I had been unsuccessful due to my low English level. As soon as I came back to Spain, I applied for the same job again. I was successful that time and I'm still working in Barcelona now. For sure, my English skills I got at English Steps were the key point to get my current job, so definitely it was a great decision!
