MarikaBerlitz - English Language Academy

The school was very helpful in organizational moments, they helped to navigate around the city and gave a free safe for storing documents. All of them were really friendly :) + I liked the level of teaching and the fact that the groups consisted of different nationalities, so there was no temptation to speak our native languages. I really liked the school! They are very responsible in teaching and student success.
The choice of activities at the secondary level could be wider, but in general, it's ok.
