“I really liked the organisation and also the option to switch to another class at any time.”
“The lessons were very monotonous. Every day was the same as the previous one. We always did exercises from the book, first on our own, then in a small group and finally in a large group. This meant that every exercise, no matter how small, took forever. There was also no discipline in the group, we ate, slept and played with our mobile phones.”

“They are very helpful and they organize small tours, some are even free of charge. The teachers are very kind and effective.”
Insider tip: “Few adults over 30 in the classroom”
Quality of teaching / language progress: It is a good course, I would suggest have different teachers in the morning and in the afternoon in order to learn in different ways.
Other comments: It is useful to point out precisely the mistakes that are made in speaking

“Stimulating lessons, favourable learning climate, ability of teachers to create a friendly atmosphere among students”
“I would enrich the programme with afternoon activities to foster acquaintance between students from different countries; the school could also think about fostering mutual acquaintance between teachers attending courses under the Erasmus programme”
Insider tip: “The initial test may give results that do not conform to your actual level of knowledge of the language; you can still change classes”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Effective teaching
Other comments: Students of different ages and backgrounds, staff attentive to students' needs

“The school manager was very attentive and helpful”
“The school boasts courses for all levels but offers little support for those at basic level. The presentation on the website is not very adherent to the reality of the school especially on the presentation of the premises, the first impact is not very positive, you would expect more.”
Insider tip: “The general level of the school is good but you have to 'stumble' upon the right teacher. The presentation on the website is not very close to reality.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: the course was well run. You have to be lucky to come across a good teacher because not everyone is at the same level. I would not recommend the intensive course because the afternoons turned out to be heavy and unstructured.
Other comments: the school is located in the centre of Dublin, so the location is good but the premises are cramped, it is situated in a 4-storey building and the lift is only available for teachers. The cleanliness of the toilets is not always good.

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
