Reviews of Kästner Kolleg, Dresden, Germany

The atmosphere in the classes, pupils and teachers are very helpful

I really liked the atmosphere in the school. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

At first glance the school looked old and worn out, but as soon as I entered the school and meet the staff and the other students, I felt very much at home.

The teacher. The lessons were fun, not boring and with a lot of interactivity

Classmates

Check out the Strassenbahn in DVB because it doesn't show up on Google maps.

Good for everything

Teacher

Do not get a room or flat through the school. It is more expensive, there's no wi-fi, it's never cleaned and is full of spiders.

Quality of teaching

Recreational activities, conversation classes

Friendly environment

Good teaching staff. Thank you all.

Before buying additional private lessons, it is better to attend a group course for a few days. 5 hours per day are already a hard job. I did the opposite and it was difficult for me. The course with 4 hours per day is the best option for me takinig into consideration the homework.

I would like to have an internet connection with a higher speed and an access to the printer at the school. It would also be useful to reduce the group size up to 8 people. There were 12 students in my group and in my opinion it was a bit too much.

The activities proposed by the school

The size and the comfort of the space at my disposal; it is not obvious, because I was in some school - even prestigious - where every day I was wandering in a different classroom, being privileged group classes than individual

I have not included an assessment of the social activities because I had my program of visits to make, and I was not interested in the school's one; but I saw that they aimed to engage the students, and if I was a little girl, and I'm not anymore, I would be interested in the activities proposed. I have also not included my review of the accommodation, because I was in a hotel chosen by me and where I had a great time.

Small and friendly school

There are many things to see and to visit in Dresden and throughout Saxony

The teachers are very skilled and attentive to the questions of their students.

My teachers and the extra Activities at the weekend

The cost for accommodation is too much, I guess. Look for your place yourself.

clearly define your level of knowledge of the language. The learning process starts with the first lecture (according to the . text book, program) of the your level at which you stated.

The teachers are very friendly and competent. The organization is excellent, both the structure, as the lessons. Moreover there is the possibility to take advantage of trips organized by the college itself.

If you choose to do a few weeks you are put into groups already in place, which have already a program in progress, so you can have the impression of losing part of it, if entering a phase not initial . However, the teachers are available to the correction of personal exercises that go beyond the current program.

I really liked the teacher, the interesting lessons and the different nationalities of the students.

New students should spend their free time together.

Very good!

The flexibility and the possibility to change levels when I felt it was better for me. Both Katherina and Agnes were very frindly and welcoming. Thank you !

I enjoyed my week, short as it was, and I feel that I made very good progress. I wish I could have stayed longer.

If you teach a group of Spanish students without specific requirements: you either inform them that the course is taught in English before the starting date or you use Spanish in the class. My English isn't good enough and I had to use Spanish to ask a classmate to translate what the teacher was telling us (in English). And then the teacher was telling us off for using our mother tongue to try to keep pace with the class, just because she did not understand.

The teachers
