Lucia is a very nice person and great teacher. I have learnt quite a lot in just 20 hours. Very pleasant learning atmosphere.
Disliked
Sometimes it was a little cold in the classroom, due to the fact that the course was around the christmas holidays and the other classrooms were mostly empty.

Quality of teaching / language progress: It was good to have single lessons so I could ask questions at any time and learn at my own pace.

Small and personal. With all students during break to the terrace. Nice teacher.
Disliked
There were only 2 levels. Beginners and A2/B1. Within the group there were large differences in level. Furthermore, there was no real lesson plan that suited level A2B1. I can't say that I really learned something new that I now master. After 5x3 hours of lessons you would expect that and I have experienced that at other language schools.

Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: Price-performance ratio: relatively expensive school in comparison with other cities, whereby the teaching quality is only on average. Teaching quality: The (very) young teacher did very well. But it was clearly noticed that she lacked experience. That is unfortunate especially in the advanced course.
