I really liked the school.
All the staff are very polite, I felt at home.
My suggestion is for teachers to provide feedback on student difficulties. Most students do not work in Northern Ireland, I think that establishing a student development plan during this period of the course would be interesting, I mean for example, where the student wants to go and what exactly he needs and work with development tests , to find out if at the end of the course he achieved this goal.

Belfast is amazing!
Quality of teaching / language progress
I had never taken an IELTS preparation course. For me Thomas is an excellent teacher, very objective and very technical in his observations. So far I haven't taken the IELTS test, but soon I will do it and return with the score result.

City/place
Personally the climate was a bit harsh for me because I come from a warm country, but on the whole it is good. It is a very clean country that respects nature, which I find good. I didn't want to go out too much at night. But people are pleasant and remain positive.
Accommodation
The family received me well and I was very well taken care of. Even during my moments of panic and it is a very important element. And the fact that it is a bit far from the school allows us to start to visit and observe the life of the country.

Definitely, future students should not miss the excursion to the Stormont.

Most of the students were from Spain and Italy. During free time they only spoke in their own language. It would be better if the students would be from different locations.
