What our students said about Bournemouth
4.0
Even though it's not the best season to visit, Bournemouth didn't fail to attract us by its mild climate, calm atmosphere and heart-warming locals. Public transportation is inconvenient which makes it rather difficult to hang out at night. Thus, if you prioritize night-life, it might not be the best place. You have an access to everywhere in England, so it'll be your good base for your travels.

The autumn is just perfect for studying in a calm and relaxed atmosphere with few tourists. It is a good environment to study English seriously. The students who arrive at this time of the year are all very serious and calm.

It was a compact place to enjoy nature and city life. During high season, I am more concerned about trash on the streets and on the beaches.

Most recent student reviews of language schools in Bournemouth
The teachers and staff are very helpful, even offering snacks. The activities are excellent and the value of the program is more than the tuition.
The best and most cost-efficient school I have ever been to. I would honestly come back.

ICHIROEuropa School of English
All the teachers are very friendly and call all the students by their first names. The quality of the classes is excellent and I am satisfied with all aspects of the school.
Everybody I met was very kind and I made some really good and irreplaceable friends. I would highly recommend this school to those who want to make friends with people from different cultures that they have never encountered before, in an environment where there are very few Asians or other people familiar to them.

Some teachers are really good quality and the employees are friendly people.
Decide students' levels in more detail and place them accordingly. Also do not change the teacher constantly.

Some teachers, those with more years of experience, were really good and helped me improve my English. The younger ones, on the other hand, were totally unable to properly develop the lessons.

Small groups and talking with the others students allows to considerably increase the level in oral
Problem of organisation on the first day, you only have the test and then just a little presentation, so you lose all the lessons scheduled on this day.
A problem if you stay only one week, you pay for a certain number of hours and you lose lessons of the first day.

The first week I liked a lot, the other two weeks, after the massive groups of students arrived, I did not like. They changed my schedule to the afternoon and I really did not like the organisation for people my age, I only shared classes with much younger students and from Saudi Arabia, and when I mentioned it they said they could not change me, because I think there were no other possibilities.
I think the school, as far as I could see, is well organised for young students.
