Company Secretary

Timothy Blake

Timothy Blake is the Chairman of The London School of English Group, which has two IALC schools – The London School of English in London, founded in 1912, and The London School of English, Canterbury, an IALC associate centre in Canterbury, one hour from London.   They have been members of IALC since 2003.   Although he originally qualified as a lawyer, Timothy has been in English language teaching all his life, always with The London School of English, which he joined in 1970. 

During his time with the school he has worked in every aspect of the business including teaching, finance, and sales and marketing, all of which laid the foundation for general management.  These days he has no operational role in the company and has only strategic involvement, although as the owner of the company he naturally retains a keen interest in its activities.  

The London School of English has always been a committed member of IALC and recently Timothy was pleased to be able to use his joint background in law and in language teaching to help to revise the IALC Constitution and other legal documents.  It was in recognition of this work that he was made an Honorary Associate in 2018.
