Positive aspects of school
"All the staff we had dealings with including our brilliant teacher Lillian and all the reception staff were very friendly, competent and helpful. The school itself appears clean and well organised, with great facilities such as clean classrooms and a lovely café, and is situated in a quiet and pleasant area. Our brief time (10 lessons) at the school was at times challenging (just as it should be) but also at all times interesting and enjoyable."
Negative aspects
"With only five days and ten lessons at the school, from our limited experience there was nothing that we didn't like about the school and its teaching."

"Dedicated teachers, a good combination of grammar lessons followed by conversation classes during educational leave, the welcome coffee on the first day with an introduction to the programme, and a small celebration with sparkling wine after the last lesson.
I also liked the fact that you could borrow the books and didn't have to buy them."

"Tenerife is the island, not a city. As far as my place of stay, Puerto de la Cruz, is concerned, I can say that it has a lot to offer, but it is also very touristy. In my opinion, other cities are more authentic."

"It's exhausting to listen intently for 20 hours (in Spanish, but you learn a lot in the process)."

With half board, there were unfortunately few fresh vegetables/salad with the hot meal. The portion was sufficient. For breakfast, there was the same cereal every day. I would have thought that I would be more integrated into the host family than I was."

Negative aspects
"The situation in terms of space is very bad in some respects: partly windowless classrooms without any noise protection, in which one can hear the lessons of the next class word for word, loud clapping and laughter during the play phases, sound from the corridor and from the terrace, the boisterous group discussions extremely disturb one's own concentration - especially when a test is also to be written."

"The diverse afternoon activities!"
Details of the review
Other comments
"It would be super if the school could also set up a 50Plus course in the A1 and A2 beginners' section. For us old people, it's just too fast with the sudden variations of topics within a lesson (clothes, long-distance travel, shopping, health, song lyrics, telephoning, doctor's appointment, leisure and party planning and Spanish social life/history...) or in the video quiz game (English-Spanish). Because at A2 level, grammar still demands extreme attention. The rapid changes of topics are mainly intended for young people to prevent boredom through variety. For us older people, the resulting required broad vocabulary is more of a burden. I, for one, am no longer able to learn 30-40 new words a day to be able to follow the lessons."
City/place
"I'm not particularly interested in Puerto de La Cruz and I don't perceive it "as a city". The small historic centre still has flair and I like it. But I travelled to this tourist stronghold exclusively because of the course. (I like Tenerife's capital Santa Cruz very much "as a city")."
Quality of teaching / language progress
"The intensive course was (in my opinion) indicated with 5-8 participants. In the first week there were five of us, which was very good due to the high participation rate. In the second week there were 10 participants. I thought that was very bad (especially in this spatial situation)."

"I can highly recommend FU International. I booked for two weeks but stayed an extra week because I was making good progress with the excellent teacher Laura. Classes are small, my first was seven students and the next two four. The subject matter was at the appropriate level for me but I noticed the college was flexible and would move students up mid week. The lessons are well planned with a test at the end of the week to identify any weak areas. The teachers encourage students to speak using a range of games and scenarios. Above all, for me aged 60+, the mix of ages because of the professional qualifications it offers means older students do not feel out of place."

"The school is located in a shopping center, you have many options, shopping in the supermarket, stopping off at cafes/restaurants, there are also other shops, doctors' offices, etc. The botanical garden is right across the street, the quarter itself is quiet. The lessons are a bit too ambitious and therefore create a lot of stress. However, individual teachers are very committed."
Negative aspects
"Since the intensive course was too stressful for me, I completely lost motivation. There were constant changes of teachers, the classrooms are poorly equipped and there are often references to learning opportunities on the Internet. The lesson times weren't particularly ideal for me, but due to the shortage of teachers, they couldn't be managed any other way. Unfortunately, as a result of the pandemic, leisure activities were restricted, and there were no excursions by the school."
