School description

Winchester Language College (TEG English Winchester) is a branch of Tompkins Educational Group. TEG English Winchester is situated on Southgate Street and only 2 minutes' walk from the city centre. The language school is in a classic Georgian-style listed building on a busy street close to the University of Winchester's halls of residence. The building has excellent views of Winchester Cathedral and the historic centre. The Principal, David Tompkins, established our first branch in Portsmouth with his wife, Alina, in 2007. David was teaching English for over 10 years before establishing the College. Thanks to many satisfied students, we have grown to a multi-branch group called TEG, which has also has branches in Southampton, Bristol and Winchester.
