‘Thank you all for everything, it was a big experience in a beautiful environment with a very good team. Everyone contributed to helping us have the best English experience and live in a excellent condition.
Thanks a million and more!’
Mohamed From France, Intensive Course‘On my first day everyone was so friendly that I felt happy and relaxed. The lessons and the teachers were very good and I wish I had more time and opportunity to study for longer here. The social activities were also very good and the staff were great. I am so happy my teacher in Belarus sent me to EIM. Thank you so much for this week and everything you did for me – You are fantastic, I’m so happy I had this experience and hope to come back again soon. Honestly I don’t want to leave’
Alena From Belarus, Intensive Course‘I really enjoyed the English courses in Margate. The high quality of teaching, the dynamism and the interactions during the class made the difference. The teacher was always attentive to every single student and their individual progression. The Hawley club was the perfect place to meet new people from all around the world and to relax during the break. I loved the social program and the different activities suggested, especially the tennis. Thank you!’
Mouktar From Chad, Intensive Course‘This school was a great choice for me. It was a lovely experience and everyone made me feel really welcome. The school is like a family and made me feel very much at home. The activities were well organised, with a lot of diversity. I really think my English skills have improved. The last word to say is Thankyou’

Opening Hours
We are open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday except on National Holidays. During opening hours, students are welcome to use all the school facilities, which include the social club and the table tennis room.
Calendar 2024
EiM is open from the 2nd of January to the 20th of December, but will be closed on the following National Holidays: the 29th of March and the 1st of April, the 6th and the 27th of May, the 26th of August, and from the 20th of December 2024 to the 13th of January 2025.
On national holidays there are no classes. Students have the option of joining a teacher-led excursion (transport not included) instead of classes. Any missed individual classes will be taught on another day. When the national holiday is on a Monday, students arriving will have their induction on the Tuesday. However, the above does not apply to our Christmas Break (from the 18th of December to the 8th of January), where no trips may be offered as the Centre will be fully closed.
First Day
The school opens at 9:00 a.m. Please arrive by 9.00 a.m. and go to Reception. Please bring your passport.
At 9.00 you will have an induction with one of our staff. That means we will give you some information about your class, your timetable, the social programme, and Margate and the surrounding area. We will also show you the school and its facilities.
At 9.30 a.m., you will join your class.
After lunch, at 2.00 p.m., there will be an hour-long walking tour of Margate, guided by a member of the school staff.
Academic Support
One of the key features of our Academic team is the degree of hands-on support offered to students from the moment they arrive until their departure. This is an ongoing process of communication with all students, including feedback questionnaires at various points during their stay. Students are also welcome to express their opinions to their classroom teacher, particularly if they have concerns over their placement and class level. In addition, fortnightly tests and a system of 1-to-1 tutorials enable us to assess and monitor the progress of all students, ensuring appropriate classroom provision.
Welfare
With academic progress being so closely linked to a student’s personal circumstances, we have a strong system of pastoral care in place, based on care and confidentiality. During their stay, students can be sure of finding a sympathetic and helpful member of our Welfare team who will offer the appropriate advice and guidance, with the individual’s best interests in mind.
