Description

Bayswater Education is a vibrant network of global educational centres dedicated for over 70 years to educate and inspire global people through a life-changing educational experience.

We're passionate about growing communities of global thinkers and explorers, at home and abroad - whatever their story.

We set up Bayswater Education because we want young people from every walk of life to get a buzz from discovering new cultures, exploring new flavours, and learning what's out there.

We think of them as global spirits, like ourselves.

Bayswater Education offers:

High Quality Language Courses in 10 yearround locations across 5 countries
UK, France, South Africa, Cyprus & Canada
Careerfocused Short Courses for Generation Z in London, Paris and Online like Digital Marketing or Fashion
Bayswater College

Designed for today's young people, our network of centres offers a chance to learn valuable vocational skills, inspire life-changing experiences and teach them the value of giving back.

For every week of tuition that a student studies with us, we give a week of education to underprivileged people from where our students are recruited.

We look beyond our borders; we embrace new cultures and are richer for it. We give access to education from the heart of London to the rest of the world.

Due to rapid growth, we're seeking for an energetic and self-driven Student Services Executive to join our growing Team.
