Student opinions about OHC English, Gold Coast

Verified reviews only, uncensored. All student opinions from students who booked a course at the school with LanguageCourse.net.
24 years
Liked
“I loved the people and atmosphere of the teachers. The content of each class was different, but the teacher in my class was original and incorporated Writing, Reading, Vocabulary, Speaking, and Grammar, so I felt I made progress every day.”
Disliked
“We also heard some say that the content of each class is left up to the teacher and they would like more rigor. This is suitable for those who want to learn English in a fun environment, but for those who want to concentrate on their work for the duration of their attendance, they need to do individual study at home. I also thought it would be nice to have some kind of homework to work on outside of school.”
Insider tips about what future students should not miss I like the opportunity to talk with friends during break time and after school so we can exchange information.

“Teachers are kind and skilled. Facilities were clean and spacious. The location was a core of the Surfers Paradise area and supermarket was near by. So, everything was great for me. I definitely join this school again.”
