Our teachers are our greatest strength. They are supportive, professional and focused on helping you achieve your personal goals.
“All my teachers have been great. They are all knowledgeable and able to answer any questions. They try also to make classes more interesting. All classes were challenging but at the same time relevant. My time at St Giles couldn't have been better!”

St Giles follows a ‘Learner Centred’ approach, focusing on students’ needs, interests, and goals. We encourage active participation and independence, with fast-paced, interactive lessons designed to keep students motivated and ensure courses are engaging, relevant, and enjoyable.
All our teachers are qualified, native level English speakers, and many have years of experience. We also have a high ratio of Diploma and Masters qualified teachers across our schools.
All our centres offer a teacher development programme to support continuous improvement. We encourage further qualifications, and teachers are regularly observed and appraised.
As part of our Teacher Development, we use a graded observation scheme that allows teachers to learn from peers and receive feedback, ensuring consistent teaching standards across all centres and upholding St Giles’ reputation for quality instruction.
