Andrew Jackson, Activities Manager
London is the greatest city in the world, and Embassy CES has the best social programme in London ... making it the best social programme in the world! We want students have a great time outside the classroom as well as inside. And they do - we have activities every day of the week – sports (football, basketball, running), visits to famous London attractions, theatre trips, pop and rock concerts, pub evenings, karaoke, clubs, international evenings, cinema visits, museums and exhibitions. We get the best prices on tickets for London musicals and theatre shows, and often get discounts on Premier and Champions league football matches … and in summer there's even more going on!
I'm also studying for a degree in Speech Sciences at UCL, and have various other roles at the school, including work in the library. I've done various things in my life – lots of jobs, lots of travel – and I think this helps me relate to our students. I love sharing my enthusiasm for London, giving students suggestions, helping them with their interests, and devising a weekly programme that caters for a wide variety of tastes. And of course, the social programme is not only great for having fun and making new friends, it's also fantastic for the development of students' English.
