Student comments about "Standard + TOEIC Exam Preparation"
Hugo:
"Over my 4 weeks I could have progressed in a group more quickly but I did not have any request from the teacher (you had to ask) and I did not know it. I could have progressed faster in a higher level from week 2. It is my only frustration not to have been longer in a group of level B1."
