English language schools in Bournemouth

A fantastic, really long beach with a promenade and lots of colourful beach huts... these are tiny little houses, some with a small kitchen and all kinds of beach stuff inside, and a small terrace... some of them in the form of a wooden pallet that folds up at the front, whatever you can imagine. Unfortunately, the public toilets are a bit far apart, but they are clean and free of charge. There are beautiful parks, many bus connections (I had three from my accommodation to the centre and some suburbs), many small restaurants with good food at reasonable prices, very nice people (unsolicited help – for example, when stopping the bus + tips for getting on, daily small talk... everyone talks to you... small talk... good for practising speaking.

Bournemouth is a town that probably reached its peak a few decades ago. Today, it looks outdated in some places - with lots of second-hand stores, sweet stores and barbershops. Nevertheless, the town has its own charm. The well-kept gardens and green spaces are particularly beautiful and invite you to stroll and linger. I was also deeply impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the people there. This hospitality makes Bournemouth a place where you feel comfortable and welcome despite everything.

Amazing beaches on the ocean. Not very historical but has many good places for the night and it is well connected thanks to the efficient public transport. I liked the museum and the tomb of Mary Shelley. I didn't feel so safe alone at night.

The autumn is just perfect for studying in a calm and relaxed atmosphere with few tourists. It is a good environment to study English seriously. The students who arrive at this time of the year are all very serious and calm.

It was a compact place to enjoy nature and city life. During high season, I am more concerned about trash on the streets and on the beaches.

It was fun to explore a historical British town by the sea. Even in a typical British spring, it has a nice atmosphere.

I liked the proximity to the sea, the green spaces, the cleanliness (no garbage on the streets).

Partly a bit run down, nice beach that I would have liked to use much more often

A wonderful city, suitable for teenagers who come to learn the language.

Great and all services are available: studying, entertainment, shopping

A great strength of the school was the high quality of teaching and the dedicated teachers who were genuinely interested in the progress of the students. During my stay, I had three different teachers, each of whom had their own strengths and were able to respond very well to the students' needs. Through the playful lessons, for example with Kahoot, we not only learned a lot about grammar, but also about the country. I found it particularly interesting that the teachers also drew our attention to the lesser-known side of Bournemouth - issues such as poverty and homelessness - which gave me personally a lot to think about.

I was pampered like a baby at BEET and felt very welcome by my warm-hearted host, Tiziano, and his daughter. BEET took care of me every day, making sure I didn't miss out on any activities, lunches, hands-on opportunities, etc. John even came to class on the first day to remind me personally about the bus tour (and I had actually forgotten about it... we were engrossed in conversation in our group of three learners + Harry). My learning goals were fully addressed in the larger learning group in the morning, as well as in the smaller learning group and in individual lessons in the afternoon. I was able to get the most out of it for myself and am grateful to Janet for the morning lessons (especially for the many games: I learned so much grammar and vocabulary... and I don't even like games... I never stop learning... a new learning system for me) and Harry for the afternoon lessons (thank you for listening, for constantly improving my grammar and my sometimes ‘outdated choice of words’... I have taken your tips to heart) I am very grateful❤️ Really ALL the staff (even in the canteen!) were super attentive, spread a good atmosphere, always had an open ear for each of us, delicious food in the canteen, always a smile and even short conversations there.

The personal interaction between students and teachers. Great views (of nature), excellent library.
There was a sock thief lurking around.

I felt very welcomed here. The teachers were very friendly and warm and patient with my questions. The lessons were challenging even though I am already of a pretty high level.
I will definitely come back. I would like to stay longer next time.
