Malta English Experience

Malta English Experience, often shortened to MEE, is not a single school but a specialist agency that designs English-language study trips to Malta. It has worked on the islands since 2019 and puts together personalised packages, so that a student, a professional or a whole group can arrive with lessons, accommodation and a plan already settled.

The agency's own website is written in Italian, so it is aimed mainly at Italian-speaking students, although the courses it arranges are taught in English in Malta. UK readers who want an agent to handle the details of a learning holiday will find the offer easy to follow. You can compare it with other options in our directory of language schools in Malta.

How the agency works

Instead of running classrooms itself, MEE works with partner schools in Malta that are registered with the ELT Council of Malta, the government body that sets standards for English-language schools on the island. The agency then helps you find the course that fits your goals, whether those are work, study or travel, and keeps the process simple and quick. In practice that means you describe your level, your timetable and what you want from the trip, and the agency suggests a suitable course and the right length of stay.

Because every trip is personalised, the agency does not publish a fixed price list. Instead, it builds a package from the course, the length of stay and the type of accommodation you want. Anyone coming from the UK can compare flight options first in our guide to flights to Malta and check the seasons in our Malta weather guide before choosing dates.

Courses on offer

The standard course, known as Standard 20, is a general English programme for people who need English for work, study or travel. Intensive 30 adds lessons dedicated to conversation, giving more time to speak, which suits students who want to speak more fluently and discuss a wide range of topics. Super Intensive 40 is for those who want to move faster: it begins with a morning general English lesson lasting three and a half hours.

Working adults can take a Business English programme, which is customised to the client. A typical pattern combines standard general English with private business lessons, around ten or twenty of them depending on what you need. For anyone sitting an exam, there are preparation courses for IELTS and the Cambridge exams, which many well-paid jobs now ask for, and an online option is also listed.

Accommodation and group trips

MEE offers a wide range of accommodation that is sold together with its courses, so you can arrange your lessons and a place to stay in one booking. The agency is based in Gżira, and the surrounding coast has plenty of choice; our where to stay in Malta page and Sliema guide to hotels show how the main areas compare.

A separate group service handles study trips for schools and other organisations. Organising a trip for a group of students can be hard work, so MEE offers a complete service from departure to arrival, covering the practical steps needed to deliver the programme.

Exploring Malta between lessons

Gżira sits on the harbour just across from Valletta, so the capital is an easy trip: see our Valletta guide for the sights. The wider island has plenty to fill free afternoons, from things to do in Malta to the best beaches in Malta, and a day trip to the island of Gozo is a popular choice.

Anyone thinking about staying longer than a course may like our guide to relocating to Malta, which covers the practical side of living here.
