Melbourne ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Melbourne
What our students said about Melbourne
Perhaps because there are many international students in a multi-ethnic country, even if I couldn't speak English, I couldn't take a cold attitude, and everyone treated me kindly. The cityscape was beautiful and I enjoyed riding the tram in the city center for free. I thought that the environment for learning a language was a very good place.
As the city has such diversity, the people are friendly and pleasant, and I never once felt any kind of discrimination. The food culture is also diverse, and I could find a wide variety of ingredients to enjoy.

They were wonderful teachers. He gave me a very enjoyable class. I was glad that the staff and teachers were kind enough to accept the students for only one week.
The majority of them are Burmese, and they seem to be interested in Japan and talked to me a lot. I met a Japanese person only once during the lunch break, but he just spoke Japanese. It was good because there was nothing else.

Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in Melbourne
- I am looking for English classes and activities for 3 little girls aged 6, 8 and 10 during the month of January, 4 weeks. The idea is for them to learn English but also to have activities with other children. I don't need accommodation as I have already rented a flat in Melbourne.“At present (2024) , for these ages, we do not have any programmes available in Melbourne during January. However, a viable option would be to consider private or semi-private tuition in a teacher's residence. This would allow the girls to receive personalised tuition tailored to their level of English.
It is important to mention that, by opting for this alternative, the girls will not have the opportunity to interact with other children from different countries, as the classes would take place in a more intimate and exclusive environment.
