We're Sharon and Paul and we own and operate Lake Wanaka Language Centre. We've been teaching English in New Zealand and around the world for many  years.

We currently run two language programmes: 

• Foundation Learning Skills for New Zealand Students (click here)
  
• English as a Second language (ESL) for International Student (see below)
  

We believe that these things are important for a successful ESL language learning experience: 

• small classes
  
• experienced and skilled teachers
  
• learning useful and frequent language
  
• lots of opportunity to use new language

Would you like to improve your English skills AND have a great New Zealand experience with other global adventurers? In our school you can learn English in the morning in small classes with global travellers like you. We focus on the English skills you need for your global adventures, not for university tests.

Would you like to organise a student visa to study full-time with us?

Or would you like your afternoons and evenings free to get out and enjoy all Wanaka has to offer with your classmates? You choose - high adrenaline adventures, great leisure activities or a night out on the town?

After travelling through New Zealand's cities and highways, would you like a comfortable place to stay for a while and really learn about the language and culture. We can organise that too!

Would you like to be able to access your course materials, your classmates or us outside the classroom through an e-learning system that's available 24 x 7 and long after you leave Wanaka?

Lake Wanaka Language Centre is registered as a private training establishment by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority under the provisions of the Education Act 1989 and its subsequent amendments and is a signatory to the Ministry of Education's Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students.
