English Academy, do you call them like these in England too?
In Spain , the translation we give to Academia de Inglés is English Academy, I was wondering if that works be correct in let's say, London.
It is a sort of classroom/ s where students go to study English , and smtes other languages, independently from regular schools.Students have always to pay for their lessons , and it can be 1, 2, or longer courses.
Thank you

I cannot speak for England, but here in the US I have not seen many schools for teaching specifically English. This is because we learn English all throughout our regular schooling. However, there are many foreign language tutors which I would say is the most common.

In the United States, such schools are usually called, simply, "language schools," but the schools choose their own terminology. As a generic term I would call them "language schools."
For English, specifically, for speakers of other languages, the (confusing) terms are ESL (English as a second language), EFL (English as a foreign language), and ESOL (English for speakers of other languages) and I would probably say "ESL school."
We do not usually use "academy" as an ordinary generic name. Schools may call themselves "academies" because it sounds impressive.
Here are some real names of real schools:
Berlitz Language Center
The Boston Language Institute
English Language Center - ELC Boston
LAL Boston
Boston International Academy
Language Connections
Boston School of English
RoLa Languages
AES World Languages and Cultures Institute
Boston Academy of English

In the US, there are sometimes English schools in areas where there is a concentration of immigrants, but the names are usually in the native language instead of being advertised as an "English Academy". There are also language schools, like Berlitz, where people pay for classes to learn different languages, including English. That said, most people learning English in the US take English as a Second Language (ESL) courses which offered through the schools, local community colleges, or sometimes churches and civic groups. I have the impression that it's probably like this all over the Anglophone world.
