"Exactly what I wanted and needed ! Teachers are so concerned and give a lot of advice"

Fabienne PIAUT, student from France

Lexis is a good school ! I was looking for courses to prepare the IELTS exam, and I had exactly what I needed.

In only 2 weeks, my teacher prepared me at the 4 parts of the exam. And I can say that she is so concerned with all students, and give them attention and advice.

The school have a very good location in Scarborough.

"Perth's experience was important things in my life."

Natsuki Sugio, student from Japan

I really enjoyed the classes, but listening and speaking English was a little difficult for me.
The teachers were funny and kind. The location was good. I could go to the ocean whenever I want.
Facilities were good and Lexis is clean.
I really enjoyed the activities. I could join rock climbing, BBQ and conversation club. These experiences were nice memories.
I stayed in a home-stay and a student house.
The host family was kind and the foods were delicious.
Student house was close to Lexis, but I had to use a common bathroom. I think common bathroom is not good.

Ask a question

"1. Can you confirm that the course is available without accommodation. 2. The student has a 9 year old little sister so the family is looking for a program that is for younger children. Do you know any programs around that I can inform them about?"

Dyan Test, student from USA

1. Yes, students are welcome to book only the tuition.
2. We will be happy to welcome the little sister at Lexis Perth as well and the younger students integrate just fine with our adult students, however we will not have homestay accommodation available to a student of this age, therefore she would need to be with her parents, or a guardian.

Was this helpful? Yes

"Is this an exception you also make to the age minimum if there is no older sibling booking the same course?"

Alessandra Marenco, student from Italy

We are happy to make exceptions and with a student of this age we can usually accept them if a private arrangement is made with their accommodation. The younger students integrate just wonderfully into class with our adult students and we’ve had no issues in the past, it’s a nice experience that inspires them for future studies abroad.
