“The school is very centrally located within walking distance of the city center and the docks. In addition to the lessons, there were various opportunities for joint activities, including a free city tour. I found the group size of five students in a C1 course very pleasant as there was plenty of “talking time” for everyone”
Disliked
“The school was very well attended during my stay. The student lounge as well as the classrooms and the sanitary rooms reached their limits.”
Insider tip: “Beatles Electric Bikes Tour Library reading room”

Quality of teaching / language progress: A lot about informal language, which you don't necessarily find in textbooks.

“I attended my classes with joy and pleasure. I couldn't wait for the next meeting with great students and teachers. My lessons were very interesting, cheerful and sometimes even moving (it depended on the subject). The teachers are so nice and helpful. My host family was very nice. I felt like I was home with them.”
Insider tip: “One and only insider tip: be honest, keep an open mind and heart, and don't be afraid of anything!”
Review details
Other comments That time in the school was one of the greatest in my life. I made many new friends: students and teachers. I made really big progress in my English. I spent only 2 weeks in Liverpool but I feel as if I stayed there about a year. I definitely recommend that school!!!

“Many Arab students disrupted the lessons by constantly arriving late and were not even pointed out for their rudeness. In my opinion, this cannot be accepted as "other countries, other customs".
