Special note for 2027 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2027 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2026 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2027 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“1:1 lessons with a very personalised approach. I didn't know that before and was very pleasantly surprised. The quality of the teaching was extremely high for the most part, but it depended on the person teaching.”
“The introduction on the first day was not ideal: I was told to be there at 9.00 a.m., but I should have been there at least 15 minutes earlier because I had to fill out forms. So I was 20-30 minutes late for my first lesson. I had an intensive course (4.5 hours/day). The lessons were far too tightly timed: I only had a total of 30min break to eat and no time to recover or prepare between lessons. It was too stressful for me!”

“Flexibility”

Quality of teaching / language progress: It is a matter of luck which teacher you take lessons from. So I averaged between the two in the rating. One would have received 5/5 (enjoys teaching, action-oriented, responds to the current learning status), the other 1/5 (bored, plays with the cell phone during class, does not pay attention to mistakes and does not correct them)
