Student reviews about "Junior English + Activity Programme - Homestay" at Centre of English Studies (CES) - Summer Centre
Elisabetta
"A course where they did not do a placement test on the first day nor a test at the end to see the improvement results achieved. Issued only a certificate of attendance (which serves no purpose)."

“Not many positive aspects.”
“The capacity of creating groups of people of mixed nationalities.”
Insider tip: “If you want to spend lots of money for an expensive holiday for your children, then it's ok. If you want them to learn English, save your money for other centres.”
Quality of teaching / language progress: A course where they did not do a placement test on the first day nor a test at the end to see the improvement results achieved. Issued only a certificate of attendance (which serves no purpose).
Other comments: I am very very deceived.
