Student Services at Embassy CES London
We deal with a hundred and one things, from the obvious, like helping students open bank accounts, extend their visas, pay their fees, and book a taxi to the airport when they leave, to more unusual requests like 'where can I get my trousers shortened?' or 'can you help me book a holiday?'. We also deal with more serious issues, like students whose visas have run out, or who are in trouble because they haven't paid a bill or fine, or who are homesick.
We love meeting students of different nationalities and from different cultures, and seeing how their English progresses from when they arrive to when they leave. We all started work here at about the same time, so we've grown together as a team and now have lots of experience in the various aspects of the job. There’s a continuous stream of students - our office is right next to reception and we're open all the time - so it gets busy. But we like to think we treat each student as an individual!

- Sue's English Class Sue is a teacher who encourages her class to read and write their own blogs. You'll also find links to each student's blog on her site.
