I'm used to travel. But this experience was unforgettable thanks to the students from different countries I met and thanks to the varied lessons and activities. When I saw the average age of my class, I felt uncomfortable but everything went fine. Warm welcome from the organizers.
Review details
Other comments The 50 + program is very expensive and not worth the cost. Several activities are organized by the school. In addition there are audio guides in several tourist sites. I would not choose the host family... Not enough exchange.

Other comments For 50+ students there should be more talking, discussion, reading and understanding of English in different subjects. The course was too much into further university studies and different tests students should do and too much grammatical stuff. I would have liked to improve my talking, reading and understanding skills.

The old house in which it is located, with a rear garden as a place for recreation and socialising.
Insider tip: Not worth going for just one week.

Other comments The organization is a disaster. Being in an Adult course for only 1 week, I expected better adaptation to my type of course, but my experience has been disappointing. The first day was practically lost doing the level test, something which only required 20 minutes. Some teachers just put films in English, something that I already do at home. I shouldn't go all the way to London an spend my money to do something I can do at home for free. On the other hand, I was not shown the results of my test, neither the teachers knew which people were finishing their courses. Mine didn't know I was leaving when I said goodbye. Finally, at other schools I've been abroad, the leisure activities are voluntary and free, that is, they are included in the general and intensive course, being an interesting offer to socialise with your classmates in certain sports , activities or some guided excursion to get to know the city.
