Kensington English School is currently undergoing some updates.

We’re making a few improvements behind the scenes and will be back online shortly. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I highly recommend Kensington English. Kate has been teaching my daughter to read for the last few months and all her teachers are blown away by just how much she has come on.
I love that Kate doesn’t rely on following set books cover to cover but carefully assesses what the child needs… building this into the programme. My daughter loves going and comes away feeling energised.

Kate is far and above anything else I’ve experienced. Highly recommended.

Kate has a natural ability to engage with children and has helped our daughter to start reading in just a few months. She delivers the classes in a beautiful place and is generally a very pleasant person who I can trust my child with.

Thank you so much for the lovely summer memories! My girls came back buzzing and chatty every single day. Brilliant.

J’aime beaucoup organiser mes cours avec les parents chez Kate à Kensington English. L’ambience est chaleureuse, les éducatrices qui s’occupent des enfants sont tops et à l’écoute, et le lieu est très facile d’accès. 

Je recommande grandement Kensington English, que ce soit pour apprendre l’anglais aux enfants, pour les camps de vacances ou pour le co-working.
