Positive aspects of school
Super nice teachers and staff, great programme, good group size, both in class and during the excursions! There was also enough free time to walk around the markets etc. in smaller groups or with friends. Wishes were also taken into account and implemented as well as possible! The food was of high quality and variety! In class, there was and still is a strong emphasis on group work, talking to other students and having fun while learning and speaking English. The projects, which were and are worked on in groups within a week, were well chosen and worked out! The atmosphere between class and teacher was excellent.
City/place
It is definitely worth a visit to experience everything for yourself. The skyline at night from Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey, Elizabeth Tower/Big Ben etc. is fantastic!

I enjoyed the experience, I met people who will remain in my heart forever. I can now speak English more fluently. I hope with all my heart to return.

Wonderful, I will definitely go back.

Positive aspects of school
In general I am satisfied with the course, but the quality of lessons very much depends on the teacher.
Negative aspects
Groups were too big on some lessons. 45 minutes is too little for one class.
City/place
Great city both to live in and for a shorter vacation or language study.
Accommodation
I do not recommend the accommodation offered by the school. The room was very, very small, there was no space to store clothes or the suitcase. The room was very badly sound insulated which meant that in the room you could hear everything that was happening in the rooms next door, in the corridor and even on the lower floor. The room is absolutely not suitable for a longer stay i.e. more than a few days.
The room was clean, the bathroom well equipped.
I recommend taking advantage of the kitchen offer, meals were tasty and varied.

If you are there for a short time or you are not sure about the course, it is better to book the one with less lessons and then book some more.

Would not be sure that was really 25 lessons

Nice place.
Negative aspects
Learning linked to certification (can be not so exciting). Small classrooms (difficult to concentrate during speaking activities in pairs). No rescheduling of any sort for first day lost because of missed flight.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Students in advanced courses were in their twenties: older students may feel not entirely at ease.
City/place
Great place to go. It has a lot to offer. A bit touristic though.
Quality of teaching / language progress
Not many teaching / learning time, but considering the type of activities, even enough.

Positive aspects of school
The friendly teachers and the school teams always available.
The classes are dynamic and with some imagination.
Negative aspects
There was some difficulty in managing classes with 3 levels of English learning (in the afternoon classes) the time was not used in the best way.
Quality of teaching / language progress
I paid for a 40-hour course, but I had no classes and did 30 hours.
They gave me an alternative to do only a 2-hour day which I did not accept.
Accommodation
The residence is in the School, change of facilities that was very good.
