"Select English makes learning fun and makes it an experience that lasts a lifetime."

Hannah Friedrich, student from Germany

I really enjoyed the two weeks, I spent in Select English. The classes great! It was a good learning atmosphere and I liked the choice of topics we dealt with, especially the study and survey analysis we often did in the afternoon lessons. The seize of the classes is good too, with around 10 people it is easier to get involved in the classroom. The teachers were nice too.

Regarding the location, there is no need of critic, since most students house at the edge of Cambridge, so the central city as location is the best for the school. Otherwise some would have to drive very far...
But on my first day it took me some time until I found the small door, so maybe you could send new students a small map of the area around the school.

The activities were very nice too. But it would have been nice, if I had known the schedule of activities earlier, since I didn't stay as long as that I could have gone to London at the end of my two weeks.
The housing was great as well. My host was very easy-going and cooked dinner for me nearly every day.

Only lunch wasn't that good, because you had to buy something from the Tesco.

"Esperienza indimenticabile"

filippo Repossi, student from Italy

la cosa più bella sicuramente, le sue splendide persone che ho conosciuto nell alloggio in casa famiglia, Margaret e Bob!
la scuola molto carina, forse bisognerebbe dedicare più tempo a spronare i ragazzi ad aumentare di livello.
per me era molto importante salire di livello, purtroppo in 6 settimane sono arrivato solo ad un B1.

"Very interesting"

Lidia Palumbo, student from Italy

My personal experience of Select English Cambridge was very interesting because now I don't afraid of speaking anymore. The teachers were very good, particularly Richard. He was with us in the pub last Friday. The location of the school is in the center of city and it is very easy to arrive everyday to the school. The classes haven't too many people and each student has the possibility of participate to the lecture. I would like to have a on-line course for exercise now.

"I've met many incdredible people."

Anna Maria Bernatowicz, student from Poland

Everything was really great. Teachers were very friendly and caring. Unfortunately one teacher didn't meet my expectations. He didn't engage himself into lesson as i wished he will. Overall the location was great as well as facilities. I have nothing to complain about.

"Select Engish is the best language center!!!"

Eliecer Muñoz Sanchez, student from Colombia

Our teacher Jessica (from Italy) was very good at teaching English language. I really enjoyed attending the course with her. I love the way she uses to make things easier for us to understand. Here i could make new friends, could get to know their culture and learned to be more social, in this language training center is where you can enjoy your time learning also everyone is friendly, kind and social. i really really recommend this place, you don't need to start from the scratch as you take a replacement test at your first day of arrival.
the housing was good. i could interact with the family and learn about the culture.
I love everything here, teachers, the center, the whole team, Cambridge, the location of the center. etc.

"It was a great experience"

Sophia Frederike Beck, student from Netherlands

I was in Cambridge for a week in July. I had a really good week. I stayed in a guesthouse, where two others girls stayed. The hostess was very kind. Her home was a 35 minute walk to the school. I didn't mind to walk that long every day, so I didn't look for other options like bus or bike. I didn't know where I should go in the school, but there was a woman, who helped me. That made a good impression on me. I took a test and after that the lessons already started. I had really nice teachers. I liked the fact that they were very knowledgeable. The location of the school was fine it was near the center, my classes weren't in the main building. There were activities that you could join in with the group.

"Select English is my family in UK."

Maria de Almeida Rossi

My family and I have been part of Select English family since 2009.
In which our daughters have access to the best learning course of English. Therefore we chose the best location and the best English course. Carolina, my oldest daughter, aged 16, is going to live in Cambridge to finish elementary school.
We were oriented by Select English.
We entirely trust the team that they are going to take care of the accommodation and English School.
We believe that you have highly qualified professionals not only to teach English but also set examples to be followed.

"I learned English while having fun with my friends."

Sarina Sanami

I studied English at Select English and achieved a reasonable IELTS score. I recommend the college if you would like to learn English with well trained academic staff in a friendly atmosphere. I genuinely enjoyed my time in the college, and got to meet different people with different nationalities and developed a good friendship with them.

"Learning English is easy and fun"

Valentina Chiri

I hated the English language before studying at Select English. When I arrived in Cambridge my level was bad but after a month I felt more confident with this language. Their teaching method is perfect. The lessons are interesting and fun. Studying is not difficult! Teachers are brilliant, the school is great and all activities are amazing.

"Necessary at least once in your life."

Carlos Robustillo

Rich! You will learn thousands of different things a part of English. They are a family, lots of extra activities (sport, coffee's, pubs, travels to little towns or cities close to Cambridge) to meet people around the world, really useful to improve your English level.
It was so hard to say goodbye to all the people responsible for the good management of the school. It seems like they are enjoying doing their job, which it is really helpful to people who is a bit afraid of being in other country who knows nobody.
I was able to have a fluent conversation in a few months thanks to their method and the intensive schedule class.
Highly recommended, I really miss all of you guys!

"Interesting & fun"

giorgia

I came to Cambridge in order to improve my English. Select English is the second school I attended and in my three months experience and I absolutely loved it! The classes were small and learning process was much easier. Teachers were prepared and kind. Every week they plan new social activities so that your experience is fun as well. Highly recommended!

"Interesting, new, socializing and a wonderful challenge."

Aran Saleme

It would be along the lines of the most amazing experience. I enjoyed every aspect of it. The teachers were tried their best to help each one to get further. Nobody did hesitate to ask if something was unclear. Also, the social program was a good opportunity to know other students & make friends.
All the staff were extremely helpful and approachable and have always been willing to discuss any concerns in a kind manner. Overall Select English was an amazing school.
