Study from anywhere
Online English lessons
One-to-one English lessons with an inlingua Cheltenham teacher, from wherever you are. Choose 10, 20 or 30 hours at times that fit around your work, from £650. Online lessons suit two kinds of student particularly well: people with a busy schedule who cannot travel, and people who want to try our teaching before they book a course in England. Specialist tutoring in Business English, academic subjects and IELTS preparation is also available — and administrative fees do not apply to online lessons.

Why study online
Online lessons are a great choice if you have a busy schedule. You choose flexible times that work best for you, and study from home — no commute, no relocation, and no need to take a month off work.
Try before you travel
A perfect way to test our English classes before you arrive in the UK. Meet a teacher, see how a lesson works, and find out where your level really sits — all before committing to flights and accommodation.
Get ready for exams
We can help you prepare for important tests and get the language scores you need for a visa, a university application or a job. Our teachers can provide world-class IELTS training.
Fit it around work
The timetable is flexible rather than fixed. If you can only manage two early mornings a week, that is a course we can build.
Keep going afterwards
Plenty of students carry on with online lessons after a course in Cheltenham, to hold on to what they gained rather than letting it slip away over the following year.
What you can study
Two options. English Skills covers general English tuition built around your goals — speaking, grammar, writing, listening, or whichever of those is holding you back.
Specialist Tutoring goes further into a particular field. As well as English, you can study other subjects online such as Business English or academic subjects. Availability may be limited, so tell us what you need and we will find the best online tutor for you.
Tell us the goal, not just the level
Online lessons work best when they are pointed at something specific: an IELTS band you need by March, a presentation you have to give in English, an interview, a university application. The more precisely you can describe what you are trying to do, the more useful the lessons will be.

Are the online teachers the same as at the school?
Yes. Online lessons are taught by inlingua Cheltenham teachers. For specialist subjects we may bring in a tutor with the right expertise, and we will tell you who they are before you start.
Can I take lessons in my own time zone?
The timetable is flexible and arranged around you, within the limits of our teachers' availability. Tell us your time zone and the hours that suit you when you enquire and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
Can I prepare for IELTS online?
Yes. Our teachers can provide world-class IELTS training online, which suits students who need a specific score for a visa, a university application or a job. Exam entry fees are paid separately to the examination board.
Can I study something other than general English?
Yes. Online Specialist Tutoring covers Business English and academic subjects as well as English itself. Availability may be limited for less common subjects, so tell us what you need and we will find the best online tutor for you.
Do I pay a registration fee?
No. Administrative fees do not apply to online lessons — neither the £60 registration fee nor the £40 accommodation arrangement fee.
Can I take online lessons before travelling to England?
That is one of the best reasons to take them. A few hours online lets you meet a teacher, see how a lesson is run and confirm your level before committing to flights, accommodation and a full course in Cheltenham.
