International Language School Basel

The teacher was great. The book was great. The super intensive course is no joke. If you put in the work, the course is designed for students to be successful. However, students with situations that do not allow them to put in the work slow down the class as a whole. The classrooms could be made more compatible with the classes it needs to accommodate.

ILS was a great opportunity for a traveling tourist who had an interest in continuing language learning. They were able to accommodate my travel schedule, which was very much appreciated!

The location, near SBB, could not have been more convenient.

I took a combination of small group classes followed by private instruction. This structure helped me identify reinforcement points in the afternoon. Other students were very diligent and interested - established the right environment for learning. Be prepared for afterschool assignments (~1 hour) outside of the instruction time.

Course materials were interesting, and more importantly, well-paced. A lot was covered in a week!

A well-organized school in a good location close to Basel SBB Railway station. The teacher was excellent. There were only three students in the class so the teacher had enough time for all the students. The education focused on conversation, but there were also grammar and writing. The classrooms didn't have air-conditioning but there was a big fan in the room.

I really enjoyed learning German in this school. I think the class was a bit too hard for me.

+ : location is good, teacher is available and patient, small students groups allow us to really improve our languages skills, homeworks are a good idea, learning books are relevant for adults
