Over 30 years of English language teaching excellence in London, UK.
Elite Language Solutions is a specialist English language training school based in London. With over three decades of experience in the field, we have built a well-deserved reputation for high-quality, personalised teaching that delivers real results for every student.
Founded in 2009 by Phil Harmon, a Cambridge CELTA-qualified English teacher with more than 30 years in the classroom, ELS was created with a clear vision: to provide expert language training tailored to each student's needs, goals and pace of learning.
Over the years, we have taught students of different backgrounds, nationalities and levels—from beginners taking their first steps in English to advanced professionals improving their communication for work. ELS also provides independent preparation for Home Office-approved SELT examinations.
Our corporate clients include major UK and international businesses who rely on us to deliver Business English training to their teams. Whether you need individual tuition, group courses, exam preparation, or guidance on preparing for an approved English language test, Elite Language Solutions has the experience and expertise to help.
Every lesson is designed with a clear purpose. We measure success by our students' progress, not by the number of hours in the classroom.
We keep classes small and one-to-one work central so that every student receives the individual attention they deserve.
We keep our teaching methods, materials and knowledge up to date so that our students always benefit from the most effective approaches.
We are honest about what students can achieve, what level they are at, and what they need to do to reach their goals. No false promises.
Elite Language Solutions is a welcoming, inclusive school. Students from every background and nationality are valued and respected.
Teaching English is not just a job here — it is a genuine passion. That enthusiasm is evident in every lesson we deliver.
