“The staff was always friendly, the facilities were well equiped, including an aircon. The school is placed in a very quiet area but it's still well connected to the metro and the bus.”
“The group course was altered to private lessons because we've been only a few students. I think it's better to stay in a group to get in touch with each other.”

“I had private lessons, instead of group lessons, because I was the only student of level 4.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss There are no other activities organised by the school. The schedule of the lessons differed, day to day. This was no problem for me but should be taken in consideration.

Other comments I was in the same host family as a Dutch man. We share the same mother language, which is not so productive to learn the language. But I was very happy about the level at the school, it was very well adjusted. My teacher, Mehtap, was the best! The host family is very warm and friendly. We were treated like close family members!
