Student opinions about West London English School, London

Verified reviews only, uncensored. All student opinions from students who booked a course at the school with LanguageCourse.net.
Liked
I had three teachers who I really liked. One of them really cared about her students and took the time to explain things properly to them. I really liked the way the classes were run: practising writing, grammar, vocabulary and conversation activities. This really helped me to become fluent. And the fact that the teachers corrected us every time we made a mistake helped enormously. I'm starting WLES again.
Disliked
Sometimes the afternoon programme overlapped with the morning programme. For example, we studied 0/1 conditionals in the morning, and in the afternoon we could find the same grammar. Then we had a teacher who taught well in the afternoon, but then she went on holiday, and her replacement wasn't very competent. She couldn't answer our questions. Which was very upsetting.
