We have been teaching English since 1972. Between us we have a vast depth of knowledge and experience about teaching and caring for our students.
Our team believes passionately in the quality of our school and the courses we offer. We have decades of experience in delivering engaging, results-driven courses and are very excited about the prospect of tailoring our courses so that they meet the specific needs of every one of our students.
We believe passionately in the quality of our school, the courses and the accommodation that we offer to all our clients. At International House Torquay our average staff/student ratio is 1/4.
Our General English courses benefit from an average class size of 7 – 8 students (maximum 12). Our Professional English stream, Max 4, on the other hand enjoys the luxury of 2 – 3 students on average per class (maximum 4).
We understand how important a comfortable and welcoming home environment is when you’re studying abroad. Our homestay providers are therefore carefully chosen to ensure students will enjoy a true taste of modern British culture.
Some of our homestays have been welcoming our students into their homes for three generations and our accommodation officer works closely with every homestay to ensure consistently high standards of quality.
We offer an integrated social and cultural programme, ensuring students make the most of every moment of their stay here in the UK.
By joining the social programme you will be able to meet students from different cultures and discover more about English history and culture.
The programme is organised on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ and ‘first-come-first-served’ basis. The weekly programme is advertised in our student lounge and you can book the activities in school.
Located in the South West of England, IH Torquay offers an unrivalled study environment by the sea, with easy access to Dartmoor National Park and the beautiful Devon countryside, away from the rush and pressure of London and some of the more established centres.
Torquay has more attractions than any other seaside town in the UK, numerous exciting events throughout the year and plenty of opportunities for sports, particularly water sports.
