Sherborne Language School is a new innovative summer school for students aged 9-17. Located in the picturesque Dorset town of Sherborne, in the South West of the UK, we offer intensive small-group, high-quality English Language Learning and a wide range of activities for young learners to expand and practise their English in a native setting.
We are pleased to work exclusively with Sherborne Tennis Academy in offering a full range of professional tennis coaching options for those wishing to combine this with their English studies, as well as those who wish to “live” the life of an elite tennis professional by joining our Intensive Tennis Camp on a daily or residential basis this summer.
Students joining us this summer will build lifelong friendships in and out of the classroom, on our exciting day trips and excursions and through our broad range of evening and leisure activities. Our friendly and experienced staff aim to make every student’s experience unique and memorable from start to finish.
Steve Neale, Academic Director
"I've always had a passion for learning and languages having worked in EFL for over 10 years as both a teacher and Academic Manager in Malta, France, Costa Rica and the UK.
I studied French at university to get my BA and also have a Master's degree in Translation Studies. I gained my CELTA in 2011 before developing this further with my DELTA in 2015."
Antonia Corp, Managing Director
"I have worked in education for over 20 years, starting out as an EFL teacher in Czechia and London, before moving into the management and operations of Language schools and summer programmes in the UK.
I have extensive experience in pastoral and welfare roles with young people and have been coaching tennis for over 8 years. I am really pleased to be able to bring such an exciting programme to Sherborne with truly world-class facilities and an exciting summer ahead!"
Matt Long, Head Coach and Director of Tennis
"I have been playing and coaching tennis for most of my life, competing from an early age and coaching for over 18 years now. As Head Coach at Sherborne Tennis Club and Sherborne Girls School I am responsible for managing a team of professional coaches working with over 500 players per week at all levels, ages and abilities.
I have worked and trained with a number of high-profile coaches and players throughout my career including Grigor Dimitrov, John Isner and Sasha Zverev and the former world number one doubles pair of Bob and Mike Bryan inspiring me to continue to make tennis accessible for all.
I am really excited to continue to develop a 3-tier programme for Development, Performance and Elite players both locally and now internationally with this fantastic new opportunity for summer 2024."
