Pleasant organisation. Very friendly and fine teachers who know how to assess the level at which they should teach in order to achieve optimal learning results.
Disliked
Few other students. Must also be because of Covid. For me that was not a problem, but you should not count on making many new contacts here.

Quality of teaching / language progress: Unquestionably good value. The small size of the school makes it difficult to interact with other students, have social or other outings, but I was there in winter so it was to be expected.
