What we like about the school
  • Gozo is ideal if you are looking for relaxation and tranquility
  • Free assistance in applying to college/university programmes by a qualified consultant.
  • Free assistance in finding flats for long-term students.
  • Electronic whiteboards in all classrooms.
What we dislike about the school
  • Average age of students is a bit higher than at most schools. Great for students 25 years or older.
  • A 45 minute lesson duration is a bit shorter than normal.

Location: BELS Gozo is an English language school located on the relaxed and scenic Maltese island of Gozo. The school is housed in the countryside, surrounded by picturesque scenes and is only a short 20-minute bus journey from the island's capital, Victoria. The remote and secluded site of the school is perfect for students looking for a relaxed and tranquil time whilst studying.

These programmes are also suitable for Erasmus+ and Bildungsurlaub students. Business English and Mini Group programmes are also readily available throughout the year. Individual lessons are available in conjunction with or independently from any other course.

School facilities: The rural location of BELS Gozo offers students a unique and homely experience. The facilities include a garden, rooftop terrace, lounge area, a library, free after-class access to language learning software and a student support desk for any questions or queries that arise. Free WIFI and parking are available for all students of the school.

Accommodation: The school partners with many local accommodation providers and offers accommodation in Residence and Homestay all year around.

The BELS school believes in providing their students with a balanced approach to English, consisting of both the traditional system of skill development, and as well the ability to engage with the language spontaneously and with fluency. You can expect to work on speaking, writing, listening and reading, as well as conversation skills, on a timetable of 20 lessons per week.

Some of the modern-style activities that you can expect during your classes might include role-play scenarios, debates, and discussions relating to movie clips, and so on. Classrooms are equipped with interactive boards, helping teachers deliver their lessons smoothly and fluidly.

The content of your lessons will be supported by the school’s online learning resources, and will always be related to your coursebook. At the end of the course you will receive a course certificate, and a student assessment report from your tutor.

Students can focus on general English, business English, English for specific purposes and exam preparation.

Always subject to teacher's availability.

At BELS, there are two types of individual lessons:

Individual: one-to-one
Semi-individual: two-to-one
During individual courses you can choose from a variety of academic programmes, which include general English, business English, exam preparation courses and English for specific purposes. All the individual courses involve an in-depth needs analysis on the first day, which enables us to design a unique, tailor-made programme for each of the students.

All of the individual courses are highly flexible in the methods of delivery, course content and duration. Together with your teacher, you will discuss your learning goals and preferred learning styles. Your teacher will then assess your English skills and plan a learning programme that will help you overcome your difficulties and develop your English further.

“Small, well-organised school in a beautiful location. Small groups. Teaching good to very good. Nice and always helpful staff. Nice terraces for the coffee breaks.”
“The school is very acoustically sensitive. You could hardly concentrate on your lessons in some rooms because you could often hear loud noises, conversations or laughter from the staff in the neighbouring offices. Unfortunately, it wasn't turned off when I asked, which was a shame. I missed a feedback meeting on the last day.”

“The people there are very friendly and open. You feel welcome and comfortable. The school building and ambience are also very nice.”
“It's a bit old school in terms of the curriculum there. Grammar and tests are considered very important. At times I felt reminded of very old school methods. It was better in the afternoon. The course was advertised as "fluency".

But if you hadn't booked this, you were actually cramming grammar the whole time.....”

“The best thing about the school was the location, size and service.
Placement - quiet and beautiful surroundings, perfect setting for learning.
Size - few students in each class, quickly became acquainted with other students, incredibly good environment, as a family.
Service - incredibly helpful, was always greeted with a smile, one got the impression that "everything" could be solved.
Impressed with how they solve that we as students enter the class with such different backgrounds / skills, as well as the duration of how long they have been going to school. Some one week others for 6 months.”
“The teachers practice very different pedagogy, so it has been an advantage that I have had three weeks with teachers during this period, but I would prefer a more uniform practice. Some teachers give little (or no) feedback when we say wrong, some (one) teacher also gives little room for active participation / interactivity. While others are very good at motivating, including and correcting. I personally learn very little from listening and/or continuing to use the wrong words or statements. That is why I have chosen to continue with private lessons.”
Insider tip: “If they are going to go to school over a longer period (more than 3 weeks), I recommend that they book only for a few weeks to get to know their own level and needs, and then book the type of teaching that best suits them for the remaining weeks.”

Insider tip: “Opera performance in Victoria (Gozo), coastal walks.”

Other comments: The quality of the lessons strongly depended on the teacher: first week rather moderate, second week much better. Leisure activities were heavily geared towards sport and were all commercial activities, no informal activities (such as the option to just meet in a bar in the evening, etc.), as I usually know from language schools.

All of the apartments in the Superior Residence accommodation feature four bedrooms. These spaces come already-furnished, and offer features such as WiFi access, a washing machine and air conditioning. With this single room option, you will have more privacy compared to other living options.

Both bed linens and towels are provided to all residents, and are replaced on a weekly basis as part of the cleaning service included for these rooms.

You will receive assistance from staff on any matter that arises during your stay, since they manage the accommodation directly. While here you’ll experience the social benefits of living with other students, as you’ll inevitably meet and make connections with many different kinds of people.

Questions and answers about BELS

Do I have to book the transfer in both directions with the Residence accommodation type? I will be staying in Malta for some time after the course and do not need a transfer.
“Regarding the transfer, the arrival transfer is mandatory, as the driver will personally hand over the keys to the residence.
However, the departure transfer is optional, and the students are welcome to make their own arrangements for that.”
Marie, Administrative Assistant from BELS Gozo - Nov 27, 2024
Could I get refund if my visa was rejected? Is there any cancellation fee?
“Please note that when the visa is refused, we give a full refund excluding registration fees, visa fees and any bank charges.”
Paulina Serafin, Administrative Executive from BELS Gozo - Nov 21, 2024
Could I postpone the course if I haven't received my visa? Is there any postpone fees?
“With regards to postponements these are not a problem as soon as we are informed in advance, 30 euro fee might apply for the postponement.”
Paulina Serafin, Administrative Executive from BELS Gozo - Nov 21, 2024
In summer (August), what beaches are the best in Gozo after lessons at BELS Gozo?
“Being August/Summer I would recommend Xlendi Bay. In Xlendi there is a nice rocky beach, various restaurants, cafeterias and closer to Victoria.
Marsalforn would be a good option too – more places to swim in the area and more restaurant.
From both Xlendi and Marsalforn there is a direct bus to Victoria and then from Victoria she will need to take the bus to Kercem where the school is located.
Victoria is the capital where there is the main bus station and all the shops. From Victoria she will just need to take 1 bus to school.
If you prefer to be near the sea being August then I recommend Xlendi or Marsalforn, however then you will have a longer way to school since she will need to take 2 buses.”
Ryan, Adminstration from BELS, Gozo - Apr 02, 2024
Do I have to pay the registration fee again if I book again for BELS Gozo?
“The registration fee is valid for 1 year, during this period the fee does not have to be paid again.”
Tanja, LanguageCourse.Net - Feb 05, 2024
Does the school also charge a registration fee and materials if you only book private lessons?
“Yes, we still charge the registration fee and course material fee.”
Ryan, from BELS Gozo - Jul 20, 2023
I would like to book 15 private lessons with my individual topics: leading a panel at a scientific conference (conversation, vocabulary, pragmatics). Can the teachers prepare for my requests? What time does the lesson take place?
“Yes, the teachers can help you with your individual request. 15 private lessons are usually held from 12:45 onwards.”
Sabine Krafack, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 20, 2023
Does the school offer Erasmus+?
“Yes, the school also offers courses for the Erasmus+ programme.”
Tanja, LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 07, 2023

What is the best way to get to school from host families living in Gharb?
“She will have to come to school by bus.”
Ryan, from BELS Gozo - May 04, 2023
Is there a desk in the room? Because I will need to work/study in my room.
“The Superior PLUS rooms have an ensuite and a desk and are more spacious than the BASIC rooms which have a shared bathroom. There is a large table in the common area where students can study together.”
Ryan, from - Apr 05, 2023

FAQ about BELS, Gozo

Does the school conduct a level test before arrival?
“Yes, there is a test before arrival. The school needs the test latest Tuesday prior to the start date.
Please note that unless the test reaches us on the Tuesday prior to the course commencement date, the studetns will have to sit for the test upon arrival at the school, thus missing 90 minutes of class/teacher contact time.”
Marie, Adminstration from BELS, Gozo - Jul 24, 2024
How far are the residences from the school?
“Residences are situated within 15 to 20 minutes walk of the school.”
Melanie Besnard, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - Apr 05, 2023
I am 56 years old and I would like to know what type of accommodation do you recommend.
“BELS Gozo offers two types of accommodation: residence and homestay. Homestay is the option that I recommend for a true, full-on immersion experience. It's also included the half board, then you also get to keep practicing around the dinner table, learning much more about the culture and traditions than you would otherwise.”
Rubén De Haro, Area Manager - Spanish from LanguageCourse.Net - Jul 05, 2022
