Brasshouse Language Centre Reviews

I did a CELTA with Brasshouse and was also a teacher here before travelling abroad. Brilliant place with many excellent teachers and staff

Went for a Russian course found the teacher to be extreamly rude & was bullied by her. I would not recommend anyone to join this course at Brasshouse. It is a waste of money & you will loose a lot of motivation. I would recommend Pimsleur or Micheal Thomas rather than being bullied every lesson & comming home disapointed. Also remember this is not a free course so I expected a lot of respect.

So do you learn basic Russian on the beginners course?

NO! You will be learning just how to read on the beginners course, if thats a A1 level for beginners, then thats another reason to avoid this place as reading is easy & its waste of money for 3 months straight, if you are only focussing on reading & not speaking. They dont even cover grammer & explain grammer so for it to be a extra helping class its pointless aswell. Even if they focus on speaking respect rate is very low sadly.

I have a hard time forgetting the touch of my elbow and "I am teasing" comment from an 'interviewer' for their CELTA course. Some of the worst behaviour in any job/course interview I have encountered.

This school is not so good. The English teachers are not English, there are only few English teachers but they teach in bad way. They never correct you when you speak.
You pay a lots of money but your progress are not so quick. And of course the fault is yours it's not the teacher!!

Teachers of the languages are excellent! Lessons are fun, detailed, interactive and properly paced

Great customer service experience. I will soon start my german classes online

Unfortunately, Brasshouse Languages doesn't offer any part-time English summer programme! :(

Simply saying, in this language institution, racism is rampant. not from other students in class, from teachers and staff

Though I went there with a lot of knowledge already in Mandarin, I started from the first course and it was great to be reminded of particular things as the teachers were very helpful with every question I had. Would and have recommended people.

Currently learning mandarin there. Great teachers, very respectful staff. It's been about 6 months in now and I've had no issues. For the price of the course, I'd definitely reccomend it.

Been calling all day and no on is answering, what a great first impression!

It used to be so good but not anymore. I took 3 courses first one was 3 years ago, it was so useful however recently took 2 courses to improve my writing English , was absolutely wasting of time and money.The new teachers don't have enough experience.

Incredible language center! All the teachers are highly experienced and make you feel so confident when learning English. I strongly recommend it .

Been going here for years, teachers are great- I had Luc and Lucy. Its very sad that its closed but the online sessions have been good. Not enough students so the classes get shut down since its government subsidised. Shame really, until next time!

A great place to study in peace and learn new things depending on your own pace.

The teachers are very friendly and they offer great help through-out the week whenever you need it. The tutors do not behave like at secondary schools or colleges.

I have been studying for 5 years at Brasshouse and I am deeply upset at its departure in August 2016, so it can merge with the useless Library of Birmingham.

Extremely rude staff on reception. Do not expect to he treated like a human being. Dreadful.

Birmingham City council why have you closed down (August 2018) what was a vibrant department for English language? Only four years ago when I studied a teaching qualification here there were many international students coming to improve their English and spend money in Birmingham ; up till recently I worked examining here and there always seemed to be demand for English language studying and exams. What is the rationale for closing this service and what message does it send to the world that the second city of England cannot provide an English language service for visitors and immigrants?

Excellent way of teaching. Very enjoyable and the teachers are very dedicate. Lovely!
