“Ano Poli is easily accessible on foot, by metro and by bus. We were given a very warm welcome. The teachers are very nice. I really enjoyed the lessons and found them very informative. As I was the only complete beginner, I had one-to-one lessons. Christos is a likeable, competent, friendly and humorous teacher. He answered all my questions. The leisure activities on offer were very varied. For example, the visit to the Church of Agios Nikolaos Orphanos was very interesting and well worth seeing. The teaching materials are completely legitimate and help me a lot with consolidation and self-study. I would definitely recommend the school. Absolutely! I'll be back next year.”

“The quality of the teaching. The ability of the teachers to recognise areas that needed improvement and to support me in the right places. I particularly liked the fact that a high linguistic standard was exemplified. I was encouraged to take on challenges and to go where it ‘hurts’.
The school is absolutely animal-friendly and I am very grateful that my dog Fips was able to accompany me and was looked after at school during afternoon lessons when I was at the museum.”

“There are only two teachers, one teaches in a small room and the other at the entrance. So it's not possible to organize students into their levels. In my class, there wasn't any organised work. We only spoke, about politics and history. We had a book, but in a week we only did 5 or 6 pages. The progress I made, I did on my own.”

“The teachers are very involved and knowledgeable.”
Insider tip: “Bring a laptop, so you can work out what you have learned in a structured way. You will receive information and follow-up information about this during the week and it is therefore nice if you can easily put that together. There is also a program to learn words: wozzol.nl. Works great and can be used for training. Another reason to bring a laptop: you feed this program the fastest from Excel.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I am very pleased with the teachers, but the location is very simple. Doesn't really look like a school, at least not in the perception I expected. More like a conference room. It's sufficient. I have not seen a library.Other comments: I wouldn't book a transfer to and from the airport. That is more than twice as expensive as if you arrange taxi transport yourself. By bus and from the bus station in Thessaloniki by taxi is much cheaper.

“The Greek grammar can be explained very well especially by the teacher Anousso. But overall, the lessons with Christos were very 'cozy' and conservative. That means the teacher talks 80 percent of the time, the students a maximum of 20 percent. When we asked him to encourage more speaking (we were only 2 students), he said that it was not yet possible in one week. The other participant (a Protestant pastor) and I had a good basic vocabulary. Apparently he had neither looked at the test nor at the few sentences one should write to oneself. Not a word was said about the test. - I know language schools in England and in France and have experienced wonderful, learning-intensive lessons there. - But the teaching in Thessaloniki is didactically stopped a long time ago. Unfortunately, the initial professional impression was deceptive. Humanly, the two teachers were okay and very nice. But there I can unfortunately not recommend anything. For information about my motivation: In addition to the 5 hours of lessons, I invested a total of another 5 hours of learning per day in the evening and early in the morning. - I was happy to skip the last day because the Thursday class was extremely boring.”
