Student comments about "Core English 20 Lessons" at Quest Language Studies
Rafael 4.0
"I miss a little more time for grammar and my program focused more on teaching some expressions or corrections to improve how to communicate apart from conversation in general, but that's OK."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

I found myself really well. I think that the course I did was very good, I was fine with the teachers and with their teaching method. The thing I liked most is the friendly atmosphere that I found as soon as I entered the school.
Insider tip: I think that participants should know that the school works with a company that organizes three days trips to New York, so if they could they will have the opportunity to book it for a longer period.

The teachers, the competence and the teaching method. They encourage dialogue and are always available.
Insider tip: The school should be seen as a starting point, it is then up to the student to seek dialogue to improve their fluency. It would be better to speak with native people, because you have to consider that your classmates can make mistakes (we all are students!). Consider then that in the classroom can arrive people not really interested in learning and that they can slow down or hinder your best intentions to learn the language.
Details of the review
Other comments Wonderful school and professional. In my opinion the entrance test is wrong. The grammar test has no time limits and the oral test is often not reliable (they should consider the excitement of the first day and that the assessment can't be exhausted on a handful of questions.) In any case, you can ask to change to a higher class or lower.

Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I miss a little more time for grammar and my program focused more on teaching some expressions or corrections to improve how to communicate apart from conversation in general, but that's OK.
Other comments The staff of the school were very nice and helpful.

The teachers are very engaging and very good at teaching
Insider tip: Most of the students attend the courses for very long periods (3 or 6 months) so the topics treated as the activities are structured based on them, so for those like me who do a month or so see to organize yourself in order to exploit at most every single moment

Other comments Take advantage of extra-curricular activities as much as possible, even those that do not interest you much, it is the best way to get to know people and therefore make the most of the possibility of improving your communication skills.
