“A modern, clean school with a super personable manager and such friendly and good teachers. The friendliness of everyone is infectious. The mornings are taught by the book and the second half is all spoken. This is very interesting as different cultures talk about their different experiences.”
“Sometimes a little cramped, whether in the classroom or in the common room. But that's really just a small side note, not a point of criticism. You can also see the price-performance ratio.”
