About Us

English Language Skills for Life

KKCL has been offering quality English classes to adults, juniors and businesses since 2002.

Throughout the last 17 years, we have been dedicated to providing quality courses to local and overseas students. We are accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English to adults and juniors in the UK​. We believe strongly in the value of the teacher- that’s why we select and develop teachers who have more than just qualifications. Our teachers combine a passion for education with skills and interests in a wide range of fields.

We are committed to making your learning experience practical, challenging and – most importantly – tailored to your needs, so you can benefit from lessons which are well planned, well-focused, challenging and encourage independent learning.

Our flagship school is located in a Grade II listed building in Harrow – originally a 19th-century village school house. You will find the school has excellent modern facilities, bright, cosy classrooms, a comfortable student lounge, an adjoining self-access computer room, a recording studio and our own stylish cafeteria serving a wide variety of international food. The school is less than a 5-minute walk away from the Piccadilly line into central London.

Effective English Training for Adults

English is something to use, NOT to learn – why our lessons work:

• Students are individuals – we develop our own syllabus, thoroughly road-tested over the years, regularly updated, and reviewed multiple times by the British Council. This has been proven to deliver more of a student-centred learning experience than following a textbook. In other words, after establishing students’ individual needs, our teachers design student-centred lessons that focus on the language weaknesses and goals of the learners in the class. We aim to get as close as possible to the tailored experience of a one-to-one lesson within our group classes – a much more tailored experience than many schools can offer.

• Progress is clear – from day one we build a Learner Profile for each student using our own placement test and needs analysis information. Students have weekly progress checks and regular personal tutorials with our Director of Studies, to target learning goals in a timely and precise way. Students’ progress is assessed on what they can do with English as well as what they know. Each student has a personalised student portal with helpful comments from their teachers and regular tracking of their progress through the CEFR language levels, using our English Score System.

• We know exams inside-out – we are a Trinity, Language Cert and TELC exam centre, with examiners as part of our staff so students can prepare for and take these exams in our school. We also offer TELC exams in fields as diverse as Business / Hotel & Restaurant / Technical English for Engineers. We work with many corporate clients including the NHS, IKEA, Sky, Red Bull, OneSubsea and many more.
