I am not sure to recommend the school for others
My experience in improving my English language was great, the teachers and the classes were helpful, some of the teachers were wonderful, some were good in fact, each teacher had his own teaching method, and my only problem was the quality of eating. But in general it was a wonderful study period that introduced new friends and other cultures. My first visit to the UK is a nice country and good people have come back to you in the coming years to improve my language more
