Positive aspects of school
"My friends and school were so good. The teachers were active in class and explained well when I asked questions. It was so good to go to school and walk because the location was in the city center. If possible, I would like to go and study again. I miss my friends so much"

"The teachers are helpful and the staff is ready to listen to any of your needs. I thank them for their help."
City/place
"It deserves to be visited at least once in a lifetime, spectacular and with many things to do. However, I don't know if it is the ideal city for learning English, although the classes and staff are of a very good standard, on the streets almost no one is a native English speaker."
Quality of teaching / language progress
"The school is delightful, book a course with classes in the morning only so you have the rest of the day to tour the city at your own convenience."
