“I liked most .. my teachers - Tim and Francesca”
Insider tip: “I had the same book in the class I had in my own country, but I had to buy it when I had been booking my English course. I think the option 'you have to buy a book if you stay more than 3 weeks' is excess, especially if you stay one mounth only.”
Review details
Other comments I had spent very good time in Skola and in this perfect English nice city Exeter. It's the best place to combine business (learning language) with pleasure (trips, sea, making a new friends etc.), I really enjoyed it and hope to come back.
