Studio Cambridge - Cambridge

Céline Aubert

My 2 kids are just back from Sir Michael (July 2024). While it has been a great experience for one of them, unfortunately the other one was not so lucky.
Harassment from other teammates, physical threatening, insults have been a daily experience during his second week of stay. There has been 2 bigger incidents around 11pm (when my kid was locked down in his bedroom to escape from the assailants) where we had to call the emergency number to ensure someone would check on these kids (supposed to be on bed in their room). After first emergency call on Tuesday night, we did not hear from anyone from Studio Cambridge admin. When we called the second time on Friday evening, someone came immediately to witness what happened and my son was put on a different group vs. the assailants for the Saturday day visit.
When we picked up our son on his last Sunday, we were also shared the video of the second incident occurring in the residence (yes, because when you harass someone, it is very funny to record it and share with the full group!). We decided to share immediately that video with the admin team of Studio Cambridge.

Outcome: We got immediate excuses by email from the sales director, who mentionned that the parents of those involved would be contacted; disciplinary measures would be imposed and "thanks" to this bad experience, the patrols of the corridors in the residence would be reviewed.

The 2 star is hence because beyond learning English, we want our kids to be safe (whether in or out of the Studio Cambridge residences), we count on the staff to supervise them, and when issues occur, we expect some follow-up and communications with the parents (as we also spent an awful week being worried at home). This is a must! and it did not work properly during the stay of our son.

On the positive side, when there is no assailants, the experience could be great! Great teachers and activities! Great food including accomodations to special dietary requirements! Great bedrooms where kids have their own bathroom (including toilets and shower).
We are also confident that our experience, shared with the admin team, has helped for immediate process improvement to avoid similar issues in the future.

I was here eight years ago for English program. I gotta say great times.
We have Spanish Russia Italian German folks in my class. Which I can know other country’s stuffs during the program.
That will improve ur English fast.

I bought the weekly lunch tickets . Usually grab a sandwich and a bag of chips. And it’s just downstairs. Pretty convenient.

The studio got a tons of activity after the English lecture. The hold party’s at some nights. The rent a Indoor basketball court so you can hoop with your friend. And the best part is punting. The studio actually gave us boats for like an hour. So we can cruise around the river with friends. I want punting every week. Btw do not take the boat that comes with wood sticks. Cuz it’s super heavy.

The teachers are awesome and the principal really take care of students problem.

Due to my home stay issue ,I was told that I’m the first Taiwanese exchange that Got kick out from the home stay family. They swapped me to the school dorm. Which is even better lol.
They offer better breakfast and more private space.
I mean my buddy said his home stay offers him pancakes sandwiches for breakfast and they’re house got free WiFi.
But lucky me. I got cereal every morning. bruhhhhh. .........

And I got to buy my own internet deal which cost me 40pounds. The school Said the host should do my laundry twice a week.

But my host insists once a week and if I want extra laundry I’ll have to pay her five pounds.
I still remember her address it’s on birdwood RD 120~125 somewhere. You know the place.

You should really evaluate the host cuz some of them aren’t capable of hosting. Btw she actually take money from my house key deposit. It was 30p but she only give me 25p back at the end. She said it’s the laundry fee.
WOW. What a @?!@
For the record I used to have a roommate that got in the same program in the studio. He can’t stand the host and they had an argument more like a fight and he move to school dorm like a two weeks before me.

Over all the school is super good.
Hosts Hmmmm my classmates host is lit.
But mine....lol. you know the story.

I studied in Studio Cambridge during the summer of 2014. It was an amazing experience thanks to the teachers and friends I met during my staying in Cambridge.
It’s been a while know, but I have fond memories related to my experience in this school!

Oldest language school in Cambridge, dedicated and friendly, quirky too.

very nice place!!

but also: if you're on time for lunch time, that means you're late. when there's too many people, you get a loong line and cold food. and the people after you get the new hot food. so. that's not so nice.

and, if you want to practice your accent/how you speak english, it might get difficult if you go there as a big group as most of your classmates will be from your group.

We have been training students from our local town there for three years. We go every January and the experience is great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The students love the classes, the teachers are very good and they also have the opportunity to go sightseeing and Share with their host families.

It has been a great experience. During the week we had the possibility to improve our English. The teacher was very nice and he helped us a lot. The activities were very funny and it has been a great time. The places that I discovered will certainly bring me back to Cambridge.

Back in July 1990 I attended English summer courses at the Studio School of English in Cambridge. I learnt a lot. I took lessons in a building somewhere near Green St, a small dead end square where you could park your bike. I don’t know exactly where it was but I guess nowadays you have to turn left after passing Knoops Chocolates, 28, Green St., to access that square. Please can you help? Thank you very much indeed. Regards from Spain.
