"Overall experience depends on which teacher you are assigned to"

Iana Brianova, student from United Arab Emirates

In short, I am satisfied with my experience at the school. My goal was to summarize what I've learned so far, review familiar material, and expand and enhance my vocabulary.

As a result of studying at the school, my English has noticeably improved. However, it's worth mentioning that I engaged in a lot of independent studying outside of class.

The school provides students with a wealth of new information, which is great. However, personally, I sometimes felt there was insufficient active practice with recently learned concepts. Not all teachers offered enough conversational practice during their classes; instead, they focused more on writing tasks, sometimes without providing feedback. I believe this may not be the most effective way to utilize class time. Therefore, in my opinion, simply attending all the classes might not be enough to see significant improvement. Students should find ways additional ways to practice new concepts as much as possible to better internalize and transition from passive to active usage.

As for teachers, it's challenging to assess my overall satisfaction with the teachers at the school, as the quality of classes varies greatly. However, there is one teacher I would like to commend for his hard work: Adrian. In my opinion, he is the best English teacher ever! I would give him a rating of 5+. Not only is Adrian a great teacher who can engage even the most laid-back students in the learning process, but he is also a well-rounded, highly intelligent individual with extensive knowledge of the language he teaches.

Regarding the school facilities, there is nothing to complain about. The location is excellent and easily accessible by metro or tram. However, one thing to mention is the poor soundproofing between rooms. At times, it was difficult to focus on certain activities or even hear the teacher or classmates clearly due to noise from neighboring classrooms.

As for social programs, I have not been able to join any due to the intensity of my course schedule. However, from what I have heard and seen, the social life must be fantastic.
