“We had to go to another place for a week to have the lessons and there were no electronic whiteboards.”
Insider tip: “In my class there were more than 15 students.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The course is not bad, but I don't think you will learn much English. In my case, it does help you above all, to understand it better.
Other comments: They care that their students are at the level that best suits their knowledge. They changed me twice.

“What I liked the most was the employees that have been there for years. They are friendly and eager to help anytime. Everyone can have a bad time but they know how to solve any issues quite well.”
Insider tip: “Don't take the intensive course. They are not focused in fast learning. You take the course at a specific time and learn whatever they are explaning. So, unless you go for a very very long time, I recommend you take a course that is not General English.”
Other comments: In general, quite good. I would change the chairs that come with that tiny table and are really uncomfortable if you write things down as often as I do.

“The school is very big and has a lot of places for sports or activities.”
Insider tip: “The food in the restaurant is awful!”
Other comments: After 12:30 (when lessons finished) everybody was speaking Spanish because the groups were full of Spanish students. The teachers didn't encourage us to speak in English. I didn't like the excursions because they were not for us to practise our English and were not fun at all.

Other comments: Too many Spanish students (14 out of 16 in my class). The excursions were not educative, the teachers were only watching us instead of making us speak English. So, we were all speaking Spanish, even one of the tutors!
