“Small school with few students”
“No placement test. Very little space, complete beginners were taught together with other students, so you always start with the same learning programme again: Who am I, where do I come from, fruit, vegetables etc. for 4 weeks. Students pay different prices, for me it was 250 euros more than for the others. Whereby 50 euros were the commission costs. Sometimes there were only one and a half lessons followed by excursions to churches, handicrafts, soap sales business. The last week was better. All three of us had complained several times. Myself and a colleague then put this in writing. But the teachers are competent and endeavoured.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: No placement test. Learning content is repeated very oftenOther comments: Very small room. Documents have to be paid for separately. You have to bring everything yourself, such as pens, exercise books and water to drink
