In the midst of Covid, it may be tempting to put your life on hold. Travel plans? No way! But what if there was a way to achieve your goals abroad safely?
Liv from Germany, was able to do just that through studying abroad with us at Stafford House London. As an aspiring primary school teacher, Liv knows that some of the best teaching moments occur outside of the classroom. Museums, historical sites, or simply from casual interactions in the city.
Stafford House London took the stress out of traveling by putting the safety of its students at the forefront and with these protective measures in place, Liv could focus on learning the city and English!
