Liked
“The size of the school is large, with students from many different countries, a Foundation Course, high-quality classes and students, and good facilities. The school is located a little away from the city center, but there are supermarkets and other stores within walking distance, so it is very convenient.”
Disliked
“Despite having paid upfront fees for enrollment and tuition, I was asked to pay the full amount. After making numerous inquiries to the school and consulting with an agent on this website, the problem was finally resolved. In addition, perhaps as it took time to resolve the issue, the school did not provide the enrollment information to me. I believe improvements are necessary with respect to information sharing among administrative and accounting staff at the school.”

Questions and answers about Kings

  • “We don't always have C2 classes, but when we have students who have reached this level and require a greater challenge, we usually arrange for them to have some individual one to one classes so that they can receive this extra push. In this case a student would get the benefit of studying in a group environment for some of the time and for some of their hours they would leave the class and attend individual lessons, which could be tailored exactly to the student’s needs.”
    Mehmet Tepeli, EFL Admissions Manager from Kings Education - Nov 30, 2022

FAQ about Kings, Brighton
