I liked the teaching process and they paid attention to your level and got the best teacher for your language skills to be developed
Disliked
I wouldn't say I liked that the air conditioner was set too cold and easily could caught a cold. The organisation of the first day was chaos. We filled out everything before, but due to one more language oral assessment, we waited the whole morning for the level of us and our own group.

The facilities are modern. The building is of recent construction. The teachers I met are very good and competent.
Disliked
The school is a bit chaotic and does not have good logistics regarding the organization of new students. They do not make a correct allocation of the level of English so the classes are affected by a notable imbalance between the level of English of the students, which considerably affects the learning and evolution of English. I do not recommend it especially if you are an adult. They have a lot of teenagers, sometimes these have a commitment to themselves to learn the language, but rather that of their parents.
Insider tip: Not recommended for adults (25 and over).

Classes with Rachel were great, lessons with other teachers were not that good.
Disliked
There were too many students in groups, the students' levels
Insider tip: If the group is inadequate in terms of language level, you should report it immediately and request change of group.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: The inaccuracy in the selection of the level of participants in the group meant that for the first two weeks I was in a group that was too weak linguistically and it was difficult for me to make progress. After the change (due to the low level of the group, there were also few activities to practice communication, linguistic interaction), the group was much better on a higher level. Pair and group work allowed for language progression. The teachers were different and were also differently involved in the lessons. Rachel was great.

The one-to-one lesson wasn’t worth it. Too expensive.

Quality of teaching / language progress: Three lessons per day were totally enough!
Other comments Maybe the courses should be more mixed. I was in one course with almost only students from Italy and they could speak Italian with each other.

The first day was chaotic. The introduction took too long, some students had already taken the placement test beforehand, but most of them hadn't. I didn't have any lessons on the first day because it ‘wasn't worth it’. I paid for the 3 hours anyway.
