Salvador and Simon are amazing teachers. Really high quality of teaching + they care very much about their students. The school is well organized and the classrooms are really comfortable.
Disliked
Unfortunately I did not like the lesson I had with Slava. Moreover, I think that more weekend activities should be offered. Medium-low quality of the cafeteria.
Insider tip: Go to Chaplin's!

I felt very welcomed here. The teachers were very friendly and warm and patient with my questions. The lessons were challenging even though I am already of a pretty high level.

The teachers and staff are very helpful, even offering snacks. The activities are excellent and the value of the program is more than the tuition.
Disliked
Nothing in particular. The building used to be a church, so some people may feel the facilities are rather old. But I personally like it as it is traditional British architecture.
Insider tip: Nothing to complain about for serious students who want to study hard. In autumn, it may not be satisfying enough for those who want to enjoy the nightlife.
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: Very satisfied!
Other comments The best and most cost-efficient school I have ever been to. I would honestly come back.
