A little about our Founders

Paulina Fordham

Co-Founder and Finance Director

I’m originally from Venezuela and have been living in the UK all my adult life.

I understand the transition our students go through while they adapt to life in the UK.

My background is in finance and in 2003 Spencer and I decided to combine our expertise and Capital School of English was born.

Spencer Fordham

Co-Founder and Managing Director

Prior to opening Capital School of English, I worked for a National Newspaper, where I gained experience in sales and marketing. I also have a recognised English Language Teaching Qualification.

I sit on the English UK Board of Directors (our National Association).

My main area of responsibility includes travelling to support our partners overseas.

My English has improved here. We have friendly teachers and good lessons!

I really like the activities because you can meet the other guys from other countries and you can also see the English culture.

GIULIA

The lessons and teachers here are really nice. You understand everything very well and they explain everything clearly. I’ve only been here one week and I’ve already learned so much!

PHILLIP

All the sessions were perfect! I was really glad to participate in all of these sessions. Our tutor was great! Everything was interesting and productive. I’m looking forward to the same sessions in future.
