About Us

Old Portsmouth College is a new language school and college located in the historic part of the city. This is where the new and old meet and a wonderful place to study. 

Our sister company, TCL Global, has been helping students achieve their education and career goals for over 13 years. This knowledge has been combined with the Director of Studies’, who has worked with students throughout the world since 2010. As learners and teachers, we have lived, worked and studied throughout the world and understand the importance of language and community.  For OPC, this means, we welcome feedback and collaboration from our staff, students and partners. We are growing and evolving as an education provider, and we want to hear from you.

We want our teachers and students to feel empowered both in and outside the classrooms. To find out more, please see our mission statement below:

You will receive feedback and tutorials throughout your stay which allow you to track your progress.

Our Mission Statement:

  • To offer quality classes and an unforgettable experience studying at the OPC and in Portsmouth.
  • To work collaboratively with our staff, students, partners and the local community to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels welcomed and heard.
  • To empower students to continue on their learning journey beyond the classroom.
  • Finally, our goal is “English for living”, and at OPC, this means creating dynamic, interactive and fun learning experiences that focus on real-life, functional English for work, study, or everyday interactions.
