The Combined Intensive English Course at IH Malta offers the best of both worlds by blending group learning with one-to-one lessons.

i liked that we can decide if we go to afternoon class or morning class, when we have just one class a day. i liked the teachers too, they were so kind and what i really liked that they create the lessons chilled and not so strict. i do not had a problemen with the location. it was good ! I think there is one thing i don’t like, it’s when someone is like for example, 11 min late, they can’t go into class. Nevermind, i like my time there, such a good experience, and the pastizzi every monday was also a nice thing to do and to talk with the other students and learn more about their culture

- individual classes. I enjoy overall the class with Suzy and her method, never boring. Richard is a good teacher, I enjoy overall the conversations about culture and history.
- location and facilities are ok. The school is small, but it is good for a familiar atmosphere.
- activities. Every day there is a different activity, I love so much this. A good manner to learn English and to know other students. Thanks a lot Rafael.
- housing. I love so much my host Grace and her son, friendly and nice.
I didn't iike:
- the class schedule. My class started at the 12.15, too later. I didn't participate to different activities for this.
- the use of book. I prefer, in an individual class, a method more dynamic.
I liked very much the organization, and I have appreciated the technical devices in the classrooms.
The teachers were very well prepared and they did their best to give teach very professionally.
Hi Francesco! Thank you for your lovely response! :) We hope to have you with us again soon!! :)
First at all, it was a very nice experience here in Malta. I would like to come again. The teachers there were very friendly and helpful. The lessons were very good and fun. The location from the school was perfect because you had everything you need. For example, you had supermarkets, paceville, and phone shops. It also only took some minutes from our flat to the IH School. I didn’t partake in the activities from the house, so I can’t say something about that. :-)

I loved my stay in Malta for many reasons. First of all, the country itself is amazing. Second of all, I learned a lot in the school. I can only talk about Ray because he was my teacher, and for me, he was perfect. He got everything I already knew and what I needed to improve. All the staff in the school were great with me. I had a lot of problems with international money transfers, and the school gave me total support, and I am very thankful to them! Another thing that made my life a lot easier was my accommodation. What I loved in Swieqi was that it was close to everywhere, so I didn’t find any trouble in discovering the island! Well, I think that when you leave a place, you are already waiting to go back because it was perfect! I hope to go back very soon!

My experience in "International House Malta" was very important for improving my English and for knowing different people of different cultures.
The teacher was helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend this school and this kind of experience!
Thank you very much for your feedback. We hope to see you again soon!
The teachers were very good, but nowadays they changed them and I don't know if the school has the same teachers for the levels. The accommodation was good as well. However, I had many problems with the neighbors and the rules of the school because I needed to study in a group and was not allowed to invite anyone to come to the flat. The others things were okay, normal like everywhere.

I stayed one week in an immersion session at Joan Zamit's house. The family was very nice, very friendly, and very welcoming. As an ATC, my aim was to improve spoken English, fluency, and understanding. With Joan, we worked on that not only during the morning lessons, but also during breakfast, dinner etc. Besides, as they are from Maltese origin, Joan and her husband Chris also explained to me a lot of things about Malta, the Maltese people, and tons of other things. The food was 100% homemade, and they always tried to give me traditional Maltese food.
To sum up, I didn't visit the IH Malta facility (in itself the school), as I was having the lessons at Joan's house, but I would definitely advise this family to my colleagues.
Hi,
Thank you so much for your kind comment. I will make sure that Joan reads your review. :)
The teacher was very nice, and I learned very much. My English got way better than before. They also had very modern buildings.
