Verified reviews only, uncensored. All student opinions from students who booked a course at the school with LanguageCourse.net.
Liked
Very good class with a dedicated teacher. It was fun and educational. Anastasia responded to all questions and adapted the level to the learners. Since nobody was on site with my level, private lessons and additional exercises were added so that everyone learns as much as possible.
Disliked
Compared to other language schools, there are hardly any leisure activities on offer. The school is quite small and there is no separate room for doing homework, reading or similar.

Disliked
Too little care by the management for the teaching equipment, which should have been available to the teacher: Board, marker, wiper, ...didn't fit together or were broken. For the fact that there were only 10 hours of lessons for me, there was too little on offer.

Insider tips about what future students should not miss Bring a laptop, so you can work out what you have learned in a structured way. You will receive information and follow-up information about this during the week and it is therefore nice if you can easily put that together. There is also a program to learn words: wozzol.nl. Works great and can be used for training. Another reason to bring a laptop: you feed this program the fastest from Excel.

Quality of teaching / language progress: I am very pleased with the teachers, but the location is very simple. Doesn't really look like a school, at least not in the perception I expected. More like a conference room. It's sufficient. I have not seen a library.
Other comments I wouldn't book a transfer to and from the airport. That is more than twice as expensive as if you arrange taxi transport yourself. By bus and from the bus station in Thessaloniki by taxi is much cheaper.
