Where our teaching stops

What the lessons are for

Lexicon House Language School teaches English: general English, business English, IELTS and Cambridge exam preparation, delivered in person in Bristol and online. That is the whole of what we do. A lesson can explain a grammar point, rehearse a presentation, mark a piece of writing or practise a job interview in English. It cannot tell you what to do about your visa, your employment contract, your salary or a university application. Those questions belong to a qualified adviser, a lawyer or the institution itself.

Our teachers give feedback on your English. They do not give legal, immigration, medical or careers advice, and no page on this website should be read as though they did.

Progress depends on you

We will tell you what a course covers and how the classes run. We cannot promise a band score, a pass, a promotion or a job. Learners arrive with different starting points, different amounts of time between classes and different reasons for studying. Two people in the same group can finish a term in very different places. Attendance, homework and the hours you put in outside the classroom do more than any method we could name.

If you need a particular score by a particular date, say so before you enrol. We will tell you whether the timetable gives you a realistic run at it.

Messages that use our name

From time to time people set up profiles, adverts or group chats that borrow the name of a school and ask for money, passport copies, bank details or certificates. We do not run recruitment through direct messages, and we never ask for payment by gift card or by transfer to a personal account. If a request looks wrong, stop and check it with us using the contact details on this site. Do not reply to the message first.

Materials age, and rules differ

Exam formats, band descriptors and application rules get revised. Our materials reflect the syllabus at the time they were written, and a page here may lag behind the awarding body's latest version. Always check the exam board or the university for the current requirements. If you are preparing from outside the UK, entry rules, visa conditions and recognition of qualifications vary from country to country, and what applies in one place may not apply in another.

Questions

Write to [email protected] if something here is unclear, or if you want to know what a course involves before you commit to it. We would rather answer a question now than have you enrol on the wrong course.
