"IT WAS A VERY USEFUL EXPERIENCE FOR STUDYING AND HUMANLY"

Livio Betti, student from Italy

The experience made was generally satisfactory. The school and accommodation were very close and this facilitated travel. The accommodation was comfortable and well cared for, I stayed on the fourth floor where it was sometimes a bit hot. As for the school I'm satisfied the organization of teaching was done very well. I had two teachers, the first Ebru was really very good the lessons were fun and full, the second was Hugh that I did not really like, maybe he did not have much experience, his lessons were slow and boring sometimes he did not know what do and did not follow the program much. The thing that I preferred was staying in touch with guys from all over the world and sharing the English language together. I would definitely repeat the experience.

"Very helpful to deal with me english depth"

Emma DRHOUIN, student from France

I spend 3 weeks at the English studio and I found it very friendly. People were nice with me, I had great experience with my classmates because they were from others countries and I think it is nice to meet people from all over the world.
Then my teacher was very kind. I found his knowledge and his way to teach very good. It allows me to learn new vocabulary and to be more comfortable with speaking.
It was a great experience.

Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.
