Student opinions about Direct English International Language Centre, Kuala Lumpur
Verified reviews only, uncensored. All student opinions from students who booked a course at the school with LanguageCourse.net.
Jiyoung
30 yearsOverall rating
3.0
“The flexibility of classes is the strength of the school. They showed me around famous tourist attractions, how to take the subway, and what I needed during my stay, and the messenger communication was good, so I had no difficulty in communicating.”
“Since it was the end of the year, there were many instructors on vacation, so the class was conducted in a flexible manner. I conducted additional private classes, but even though private classes were twice as expensive, the first week of the two weeks was hardly conducted properly. I was disappointed that the instructor was not fixed and changed every time. I was grateful for the hard work I tried to conduct the class as much as possible, but I thought it was a waste of money.”
