The Staff
The English teachers at MCSE are qualified and experienced professionals. They make lessons enjoyable, engaging and put
learning and improvement at the centre of the lesson. There is considerable focus on active studying outside the
classroom. Here at Manchester Central School of English we encourage autonomous learning and self study through
homework and our e-learning programme.
Students have tests at the end of every week to monitor their progress and they have the chance to discuss any
problems during regular tutorials with the Director of Studies.
Our teaching staff have all lived and worked outside the UK, so they understand the problems and challenges facing
students living away from home and are happy to help students in their daily life. In addition, we have an
Accommodation and Welfare Officer who, besides placing students in a home stay or other accommodation, can
help with anything from university applications to filling in forms for a bus pass.
