“The way of teaching: very dedicated and sympathetic teachers have been - absolutely at eye level - communicated with us significantly, in other words: the foreign language in everyday life, or in communication over interesting topics made relevant, thus creating the possibility of using it to improve your own handling.”

Insider tip: “The school offers tours around Dublin at reduced prices on weekends. Very interesting and good value for money.”

Quality of teaching / language progress: I had chosen English in the City but for lack of registrants I was reassigned to intensive. The school did not notify me of the change and I was put on the spot.

Other comments At Kenilworth you feel like a part of a big family. The school director and teacher Colm Maguire and the Administration Officer Ann Phelan are working really hard to make the lessons and stay as interesting and enjoyable as possible and they do a great job. My daughter attended in the same time as me the course for teenagers in Summer Centre at Terenure College. She improved her English and had a fantastic time during her stay as well.. I recommend Kennilworth to everybody who wants to learn lots of English and have lots of fun. I am sure you won't waste your time and money.

Other comments My host family was just fantastic. I felt really at home! I could not have had a better family. I think it's the best type of accommodation because it allows you to learn more about Irish culture and traditions, but above all to improve your English because you have many more opportunities to practise it.

Other comments If you are young enough (18-21), you may like to visit Terenure College, the junior Kenilworth School. You'll find more young people to share your free time in the afternoons (playing sports or doing some trips to the city centre) and at nights (You will always remember Trinity College, O'Connell Street and Temple Bar).
