My experience with the housing and the language institute was a nightmare. The shared room accommodated four people, and each paid $1,200, while independent rooms with a bathroom and kitchen were only $1,300—a huge and unjustified difference.

The best English school I had the opportunity to attend. Supportive and friendly staff, interactive classes, and a very diverse community of students and teachers helping each other in order to maximize the experience of learning. I recommend people to take some classes there before going to take IELTS or any other English proficiency exam. It will help you a lot with test methodology, and teachers there will give you so many tips about how to succeed on the test. Please, keep in mind that the experience of learning demand... read more
