Colchester is very quete. If you want improve you English and not travel or relax choose IELTS course not general english

Smaller groups; also the classroom was tiny for 13-14 people. The social activities weren´t interesting; it could be better to organise to go to the theatre or visit some interesting place near Colchester after 5:00 when the school, museums and shops are closed.

The mattress was very bad.

About the school: I liked the facilities and the teachers, all of them are very friendly.

Bring an adaptor and an umbrella.

I liked the school and the family! I think that I´ll go again next year, but one tip for the school is that they need organise more activites in the free time and change them every week!

Quality of teaching

The combination of reading, speaking, listening and writing in English. All the activities in the school, in the host family and in the afternoons.

To my course 50+: I had very interesting afternoons with the guides (Caroline and Phil). Both Ruth (a student from Brasilia) and I were shown a lot of nice places around Colchester. I would not miss those 2 weeks for anything!!!

classmate and the relax area

castle pub in paticular

school facilities

avoid the peak season (too crowded)

Both fun and challenging.

Meet with other students outside of school too. Dont hesitate just because you dont know them yet; you will!

Some activities should be in scheduled groupes, a mix between different nationalities, to prevent from forming groups like "the french people", "the chinese" etc.

The teaching was excellent and all the staff members were very friendly. I was totally satisfied with this school.

A thorough assessment takes place the first morning so that the level of language corresponds to the teaching and the class.

Organization

If you have any problems with your host family or in class, don't hesitate to talk about it to the school staff. They are at your disposal.

The atmosphere.

The multicultural environment, open-minded people from all over.

In addition to learning a language, it is important to thbear in mind that you can learn about other cultures and ways of living. Just for that reason, the experience is worthwhile.

My host family was definitely the best. In addition to helping me with my English, they made me feel at home.

the environment and the garden! In addition.. the opportunities to play games (chess, table tennis, billiards)

Do not miss the pub to meet new people and make sure you get along with your host family.

Get to know people your age from different cultures.

The dynamics and the people.

After you finish the course and you go back to your country, you should continue to study English to keep improving the language.

Professionalism of the teachers.

It requires basic knowledge of the language.

Adoption of traditional methods of teaching perhaps because of some means' obsolete that the school provides.

Teachers.

Good rapport between students.Lessons were a little bit boring. Activities could be improved as they didnt explained anything during the tours.

Bring you something to eat.

You will make a lot of friends and will have a great time.I wish there were less students.

The openness of the teachers and the mix of students (multi-cultural)

The trips to various cities

classes and teachers

Friendly environment

High number of students from Saudi Arabia
