"If I had not done it, I would have regrets"

Nahal Merati, student from Belgium

First of all, when the weather is nice, everybody is in a good mood, so for me it was a great experience because i have never been in malta before.

I like the activities, there were cheap and good organisations.
About the facilities, i was going on foot to my apartment and from to school, so it was easy.

The Location of the school in my opinion is not good and can be better.

I liked all the teachers, so sympathetic and helpful.

The only think that i can say to improve the quality of courses is, that the teacher has to vary the topic and also consider a good balance between the vocabulary and grammar. I practically had no grammar during one week, and i find that regrettable. They focus just to groups work to more practice and vocabulary.

I hope that my opinion can help you to improve the quality of the courses in malta.

Best regards

"Recomendable"

Susana Castrejon Fernandez, student from Spain

The experience has been positive.

1. the course: I had problems because there were no people with my level, and they changed me several times in the group. And I could not do my Business English course during the 3 weeks. A little chaos.

a) the first week classes from 9 to 12.15 were not business, and intensive hours (13.00-14.30) there was no group with my level.
They offered to exchange my intensive classes (7, 5 hours of class) for a private class of 1 hour. or go to English for Work (with 12 people).

One day I went to English for Work but I did not like it and the rest of the days I preferred to go to business classes even if it was not my level

b) the second week if I had my business course (9 to 12.15) and change the intensive hours (because there was no group) for a private class of 1 hour.

I think this change was not fair or equitable because I paid enough money for the small group classes and I did not receive them as such.

c) the third week if I had my business course both from 9 to 12.15 and from 13.00 to 14.30 (this week was the best and the one I liked the most).

Classes if I liked, I learned and raised the level.

The least I liked is that I did an online level test and they already knew my level. If there were no people, they had to have warned me and I would have changed course and paid a lot less (as I pack for a small group course).

2) As for the teachers, I had 7, all with a great experience and each with their style. I have NO complaint, perhaps the one I liked the least was Rafael Cali. The best Edward.

3) the situation of the school is very central

4) The school is very well (facilities), and offers free classes of conversation, grammar, listening- -
And the best things are the activities you propose, so as not to get bored and meet people.

5) The accommodation I look for me, I was staying at the house of a friend of my brother.

If I go back to an English course, I would definitely go back to this School but I would not contract so many classes.
