“Overall, I'm satisfied, but teachers were changed way too much therefore the teaching quality was not consistent and vary depending on the teachers. Because of this, it seems unprofessional. ”
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I hope teachers do not change too often and the content of the class will be a little more focused on a daily life.

“Teachers are very friendly, and the coordinators in the office are always available for questions and suggestions.”
Insider tip: “Plan more days for things like Petra, Wadi Rum or Wadi Dana. Possibly organize it yourself. Jett drives to pretty much everything, including the border to Palestine/Israel (11 JOD to King Hussein Bridge and then by separate shuttle which costs 17 JOD per person including 1 luggage, 10 JOD when leaving the country!). You can eat pretty well almost everywhere in Amman. On weekdays you can have a relatively good and cheap lunch at school.”
