ELC Eastbourne has a team of friendly, experienced and professional teachers who are committed to helping you make the best progress that you can during your English language course. We have a small team of well-qualified permanent teachers, all with many years' teaching experience. In addition, we have around another 20-25 teachers who teach at ELC Eastbourne at different times of the year on a variety of courses.
Because most of our teachers have lived and worked in other countries, their experiences of different cultures and learning other languages means they understand what it is like to study in another country and how best to help their students.
ELC Eastbourne is committed to continuing professional development. Our teachers go to external conferences, workshops and seminars as well as the in-house teacher development programme at ELC Eastbourne. In this way they refresh and update their English teaching skills and methodology.
