About LILA*

LILA* was established in Liverpool in 2004 as an independent English language academy. Founded by two sisters, Leanne Linacre and Victoria Bligh, Leanne and Victoria started their careers teaching overseas. Upon their return to the UK, they felt that there was a need for more quality language schools in the north of England and Liverpool was the perfect choice of city.  Famous for its beautiful waterfront and world-renowned universities, the city of Liverpool has everything to offer for students looking for a thriving place to study.

We think (and our students agree!) that LILA* Liverpool is a great place to learn English.  Our vision has contributed to the growth of our school and our loyal students continue to recommend us as the best school to study at in the UK.
