Other comments I missed my flight, so I was not at the agreed meeting point and not at the school. I had some problems and the school administration supported me so well that in the end, it was not all that bad .

1:1 lessons with a very personalised approach. I didn't know that before and was very pleasantly surprised. The quality of the teaching was extremely high for the most part, but it depended on the person teaching.
Disliked
The introduction on the first day was not ideal: I was told to be there at 9.00 a.m., but I should have been there at least 15 minutes earlier because I had to fill out forms. So I was 20-30 minutes late for my first lesson. I had an intensive course (4.5 hours/day). The lessons were far too tightly timed: I only had a total of 30min break to eat and no time to recover or prepare between lessons. It was too stressful for me!

Quality of teaching / language progress: It is a matter of luck which teacher you take lessons from. So I averaged between the two in the rating. One would have received 5/5 (enjoys teaching, action-oriented, responds to the current learning status), the other 1/5 (bored, plays with the cell phone during class, does not pay attention to mistakes and does not correct them)
