Positive aspects of school
"I took a 3-week course. In the mornings, we studied grammar and did comprehension games. The afternoons were more fun because we did different activities, like bowling, golf, laser tag. Or they took us to visit museums or the aquarium. The activities changed every day. The class was made up of children from all over the world, and I became friends with some of them. I really enjoyed this experience."

"In the morning, we studied grammar, verbs, etc., etc."
Accommodation
"The accommodation was about a 15-minute walk from the school. I stayed with a host family together with my mom. We had a room in the house. The family was helpful from the very beginning and made sure we lacked nothing. Dinner was the time when we would all get together for a chat."

Positive aspects of school
"The people were very nice, the atmosphere was pleasant and we felt well looked after. The children enjoyed the lessons and the afternoon programme."
Negative aspects
"Some of the classrooms/corridors/toilets were quite dirty and I saw mould on one wall. The narrow stairwell is probably the only escape route - how is everyone supposed to leave the building quickly in an emergency?
Our children reported that most of their classmates played on their mobile phones during the breaks; some of them also used their mobile phones in class."

Positive aspects of school
"Great spot in Brighton. Room space for our group (4) was fine, but it is not suitable for more.
The afternoon activities were mostly fun especially by a very guide (Amanda).
Excellent teacher with humor and subjects adapted to 40+ (society, social, economic subjects)."
Negative aspects
"Our teacher couldn't copy for 3 days because there was no toner. Strange."
Details of the review
Other comments
"I think that a minimum number of fellow students of 4 is highly desirable, less gives less opportunities to discuss with them and will reduce the chance of a good atmosphere."

"Many possibilities, beach, nice streets, an accepting and friendly atmosphere."

Positive aspects of school
"Every teacher are so kind."
Negative aspects
"Every teacher was good but I felt some teachers were inefficient.
Just give the students 10~30 minutes to solve the problems in the textbook then the student answer the question without drawing.
It could be more efficient in my opinion."
