Our team believes passionately in the quality of our school and the courses we offer. We have decades of experience in delivering engaging, results-driven courses and are very excited about the prospect of tailoring our courses so that they meet the specific needs of every one of our students.
We believe passionately in the quality of our school, the courses and the accommodation that we offer to all our clients. At Torquay International School our average staff/student ratio is 1/4.
Our General English courses benefit from an average class size of 7 – 8 students (maximum 12). Our Professional English stream, Max 4, on the other hand enjoys the luxury of 2 – 3 students on average per class (maximum 4).

Torquay

The English Riviera

Located in the South West of England, TIS offers an unrivalled study environment by the sea, with easy access to Dartmoor National Park and the beautiful Devon countryside, away from the rush and pressure of London and some of the more established centres.
Torquay has more attractions than any other seaside town in the UK, numerous exciting events throughout the year and plenty of opportunities for sports, particularly water sports.

“I really recommend everyone to study in this school. If you want to speak English language very well it will be great to join them. Friendly staff, very helpful you will feel you are in your house with your family.”
