Student opinions about Imagine English Language Academy, Liverpool

Liked
I attended my classes with joy and pleasure. I couldn't wait for the next meeting with great students and teachers. My lessons were very interesting, cheerful and sometimes even moving (it depended on the subject). The teachers are so nice and helpful. My host family was very nice. I felt like I was home with them.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss One and only insider tip: be honest, keep an open mind and heart, and don't be afraid of anything!

Other comments That time in the school was one of the greatest in my life. I made many new friends: students and teachers. I made really big progress in my English. I spent only 2 weeks in Liverpool but I feel as if I stayed there about a year. I definitely recommend that school!!!

Everyone at the school is helpful and behaves like member of your family. When I was in hospital, my teacher came with me and took care of me all the time. I am so grateful, I can't even explain.

Teachers good to very good. School small, therefore family atmosphere
Disliked
Many Arab students disrupted the lessons by constantly arriving late and were not even pointed out for their rudeness. In my opinion, this cannot be accepted as "other countries, other customs". I know schools where latecomers are excluded 15 minutes after the start of class, which I find appropriate.
