Islington Centre For English

A Focus on Communication in Small, Friendly Classes

Central to ICE’s teaching philosophy is empowering students to communicate confidently and effectively in English. Because speaking is the most important skill, lessons are designed to maximise talking time—whether with a partner, the teacher, or the whole class. With a maximum of 15 students per class and an excellent nationality mix, students learn in a caring, family atmosphere alongside people from all over the world. All teachers are qualified native speakers who take part in regular development sessions to stay up to date with the latest teaching methods.

Flexible Courses to Suit Every Learner

ICE offers a wide range of programmes including General English, Cambridge First Certificate and Advanced preparation, IELTS, Business English, and Accent Perfection courses. With morning, afternoon, and evening classes available—plus part-time and intensive options—there’s a timetable to suit every schedule. ICE also offers a unique English plus Volunteering programme, allowing students to practise their English while contributing to London charities such as Oxfam.
