NSTS English Language Institute

NSTS English Language Institute has taught English in Malta since 1963, when it became the island's first school for international learners. The institute is based in Gzira at 12, Taliana Lane, a short walk from Sliema and the seafront. Its teaching house is a large, bright Maltese townhouse set among gardens, a citrus orchard and open-air terraces used for relaxation and private study. The school provides eighteen airy classrooms, a reception and student relations desk, free Wi-Fi, an internet cafe, a lending library, a resource centre, interactive whiteboards and air conditioning.

English courses in Gzira

Courses for adults are organised in small international groups and cover General English, Intensive English, Business English, Teacher Refresher and Professional English, and a Top-up English for specific purposes option combining group lessons with individual tuition. Older learners can join the Mediterranean English Celebration, a Club 50+ programme mixing morning conversation classes with afternoon excursions. Lessons run Monday to Friday in 45-minute periods, with a placement test on the first day and a certificate awarded subject to attendance. Junior and family programmes, teacher training and study-abroad pathways are also offered. Class sizes stay small so that learners from many countries can practise English together both inside and outside the classroom.
