With a decade’s worth of professional experience in the EFL field our teaching staff are acutely aware of what our clients expect and what is effective in meeting and indeed surpassing these expectations.

Undertaking language training is a crucial investment in time and money whether you are a company executive seeking a short intensive course or a discerning traveller looking for a couple of weeks’ cultural as well as linguistic briefing in an English-speaking country. At Symposium Edinburgh we aim to give you maximum return on your investment with structured programmes designed to improve your English over the longer term whatever your personal, linguistic or cultural priorities may be. To this end, we take a holistic view of language acquisition.

Recognising the complementary nature of formal instruction and experience of the language in-situ, our tailor-made programmes combine the highest standards of professional linguistic tuition with the opportunity for our students to continue to use their language whilst visiting Edinburgh and Scotland and participating in the cultural leisure pursuits of their choice. For those with a definite business focus, Edinburgh provides a wealth of contexts for authentic linguistic interaction.

At Symposium Edinburgh, we never forget that languages are spoken and indeed learnt well beyond the confines of the classroom. Our approach is therefore one of maximising the opportunities for instruction, practice and long-term assimilation of language in and outside of the classroom.

While other EFL providers may suit your course to their formats, Symposium Edinburgh tailors your course programme to your linguistic and personal imperatives. Hence no empty-promise “crash” courses, no “conveyor belt” classes, no minimum class numbers, no junior summer courses, no stilted social programmes or hackneyed bus tours.

At Symposium Edinburgh, you are never “just the next student”, and consequently receive the highest level of personal attention as well as a broad-based cultural welcome unavailable elsewhere.

Symposium Edinburgh is the connoisseur’s choice for professional, student-centred and result-orientated personal language training.
