Special note for 2024 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2024 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2023 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2024 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Student comments about General English plus English for Business 28
Maria
"It was OK, but I think for English for business, 12 people per class is too much, maximum should be 6 people, in 1.5h there is little chance to speak enough and have good conversations"

Verified reviews only, uncensored. All student opinions from students who booked a course at the school with LanguageCourse.net.
Maria

“Good teachers. They are good professionals. Very supportive with students”
“For adults business English perhaps summer is not the best moment. Majority of students were teenagers in August this year, so sometimes I missed a little to be in a more mature environment. Some students are teenagers not willing in reality to be there, parents inscribe them, but they do not have much interest in learning and they waste much of the class time with the mobile phone, This is not a 100% fault of the school, but perhaps a good rule would be to leave phones out of the class for teenagers or a mandatory rule to put it in flight mode or at least to control a little those immature students especially when sharing the class with adults really interested in learning and take the most of this time at school. Or even better to create more homogeneous groups, not only taking into account the level but also the age. As a consequence most of the students are teenagers, activities are more focused on them. For adults there is no options.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: It was OK, but I think for English for business, 12 people per class is too much, maximum should be 6 people, in 1.5h there is little chance to speak enough and have good conversations
