EFL Support

English Language Support for International Students

At Collingham Kensington, we welcome students from around the world into our vibrant and inclusive academic community. Our English as a Foreign Language (EFL) provision ensures that international students are fully supported in developing the language skills they need to succeed in their studies and beyond.

Whether preparing for GCSEs, A Levels, or university entrance, our tailored EFL support builds fluency, confidence and academic readiness.

What We Offer

Our EFL provision includes:

> 1:1 or small group EFL lessons tailored to the student’s level and curriculum

> Support with academic writing, reading, listening and speaking

> Preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, and other English language qualifications

> Integrated support across academic subjects to improve comprehension and vocabulary

We also offer help with:

> Personal statements for university

> Interview preparation for UK and international higher education

> Presentation and public speaking skills

Collingham Kensington’s EFL programme is more than language teaching—it’s the foundation for full academic engagement, cultural integration, and university success.

In-Class Integration

Students are placed in mainstream classes where possible and supported with parallel or additional EFL sessions. Tutors work closely with EFL specialists to ensure subject content is accessible, and to monitor progress in language development.

Cultural and Academic Adaptation

Beyond language, we support students in adjusting to:

British classroom culture and expectations
Academic referencing and research
Group discussion and critical thinking

help students become not just proficient speakers of English, but confident academic communicators ready for success at UK universities.

Admissions and Assessment

All international applicants are assessed for English proficiency at interview. We then create a personalised EFL plan where needed.

EFL lessons can be part of a full-time programme, hybrid model, or online provision, depending on each student’s needs.

Education at Collingham Kensington is not just about exam results. We believe in nurturing the whole student through a rich and varied extracurricular programme that promotes creativity, confidence, wellbeing and curiosity.
