“For me it was very productive time. Before I thought that I have pre-intermediate level, but I sat the level-test and was intermediate, which I was glad to discover!
But for me it wasn’t enough, I pushed myself to study a lot, it was not in vain. Now I have Upper intermediate. The main thing is you should work hardest and productive. Enjoy you time with this school.”

“The staff and their kindness. Everyone's very attentive and very friendly. The organization of extracurricular activities is very good and constant.”
“The academic level of the school is low. You don't learn too much, you don't talk much, but you don't have a learning objective and you don't evaluate progress in any way. Everything very loose. Momento with many people in class and small classes.”
Insider tip: “Low academic level. Good atmosphere.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I didn't reach any objective, it's just another class, it's not English for Work, very weak.
Other comments They must improve the academic level. It's a shame that having the site and the people, they don't elevate it.
