Positive aspects of school
Teachers are very passionate. The administration is very helpful with all things both school and non-school related. Classes are small. The textbooks/materials used are good.
Negative aspects
The school should avoid putting heritage speakers and non-heritage speakers in the same class, as the two types of students struggle with very different issues. Lessons would also benefit from having a little more structure at times.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Ensure that you are not put in the same class as heritage speakers.
Quality of teaching / language progress
I generally enjoyed my course, but struggled with one of my teachers, whose teaching style I found very demotivating (she interrupted me very often, would talk very fast, would go on long rants that were not helpful to my learning). In the end, I ended up not attending my last class, but the school compensated me for this by allowing me to switch my last four hours with said teacher with two hours of private classes with another teacher that I had gotten along well with.

Alex (the director) and the teachers were great, very professional and dedicated.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
I recommend choosing individual lessons over the group lessons.
Quality of teaching / language progress
School premises are under reconstruction, lessons were conducted in an internet café. Teachers were excellent. Students in groups were of very different level due to too few groups. Individual lessons were outstanding. Social activities were great.
