Globe English Centre

Dear Student,

We the Globe English Centre, work in partnership with Mitsuba Associates. We provide you with the most effective, professional and caring learning experience whilst Mitsuba Associates can advise and assist you in making your choice the correct one.

I established the Globe English Centre in 1978 where I still enjoy working as the present director. The Globe occupies pleasant buildings and gardens on a quiet street in the very centre of Exeter, within 5 minutes walk of the Cathedral, shops and stations, 20 minutes by shuttle train from the sea & beaches and 2h30 minutes from central London.

We have acquired an excellent reputation for our quality services and the very personal attention we give to each individual student. You can enjoy our ample recreational areas, free refreshments & free access to Internet and our Study Centre.

Students particularly appreciate our small classes, good mix of nationalities and the friendly, personal and professional atmosphere of the Globe.

We offer a full range of courses in our Adult and Junior Schools. The Adult courses are most popular because of the small number of students per class (maximum of 6, average 4) which ensures great individual attention and rapid progress. We have a very high exam pass rate. You can start your course on any Monday and at any level

I would also like to point out that we run a Junior School all year round and can therefore guarantee a high standard of tuition and accommodation and welcome at all times since we have permanent premises and experienced regular staff.

I personally select our host families, because I know what an important part they play in the success of your stay. Families are within a maximum walking distance of 30 minutes and always on a bus route. You will have your own heated room with a writing table and be offered breakfast, packed lunch and an evening meal.

The Globe also owns a number of self-catering flats on the school premises. They can accommodate 1-5 people and are all comfortably modernised and pleasantly furnished.

The historic City of Exeter, capital of Devon. offers, in an exceptionally beautiful part of England, a gentle pace of life. friendly people and vibrant commercial and cultural activity with a beautiful Cathedral and an excellent University. Exeter (Population 110 000) has been elected the top city in England for its quality of life (lowest crime rate, lowest pollution rate. and best cultural, recreational and commercial facilities). Devon is traditionally the British people's favourite holiday destination because of its mild climate, splendid beaches, coastline and National Parks.

Whether you wish to improve your English for work or studies, or whether you simply enjoy learning a language and experiencing the culture and way of life of different people, you will find at the Globe a programme that suits your needs. You will make rapid progress, meet new friends and have a wonderful time, which will prove invaluable for your future.

Come and join us, I look forward to meeting you.
