"Greta teachers , students not so serious"

Garry Fletcher, student from Canada

Perhaps the number of students in the class was higher than I expected. Some days there were as many as 6 of us. In conversational classes, this leads to a lot of wasted time waiting for the responses from each student. The teachers were very committed and had good methodology but they could have been more demanding of the students. Perhaps it is the age difference, but the level of immaturity shown by some students was often very distracting . For some , homework assignments were rarely done, it seemed that having a good party the night before took precedence. I also spent several weeks in a different language school in Medellin and I found that it was much more constructive, with never more than three students in the class..

I went on the museum tour.. There were two of us. a lower language level and two at a higher level, The guide from the school was thorough but usually speaking at a level more appropriate for the more advanced students.


The location an facilities were very good.
