Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Be ready for plenty of homework & also try to prepare in advance for the coming lessons.
Other comments
Great value & teaching.
Small tip - teachers should check to ensure all class members have “got the point/understood”, not just the ones that answer quickly.
They should also make available some “high volume” working exercises for each specific point, to allow students to thoroughly practice. Currently the number of worked examples is more aimed at demonstrating the issues & then a few tests, rather than multiple examples to ensure the points are fully trained.

I was said the unreasonable things by a member of my host family. I don't have anything positive for the family. I think that the families should be more carefully checked. I tried to put up with this kind of treatment though, it was so terrible. I hope other students won't have a similar experience.

They advised me a week before the classes started that these had to be in the afternoon instead of in the morning, when I was booked excursions in the afternoon. Finally they put me in a lower level with the loss of time that entails.

the private course given by an excellent teacher, who unfortunately only gave us two days per week of group courses and not the last week. The main teacher, 3 days per week, was particularly boring and little pedagogue, as per opinion of all students.

CHECK THE QUALITY OF EACH TEACHER? I must say that the main teacher really spoiled the pleasure of learning, according to every student. This was written in the internal evaluation.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss
a class hour is 45 minutes and not 60 minutes thus a four hour class is really 3 hours
Other comments
I rated low on the social activities because Tandem only offers excursions in the summer, on the up side, the students networked well and created there own excursions.

The school has a very laid back attitude, and it is definitely better to visit it in summer time as part of a fun language course
Other comments
Placement into classes was not as accurate as it should have been. Some of the teachers were not professional enough, although a handful were extremely good. There was a lack of learning goals, and monitoring on the student's progress either.
