Testimonial

Manuela Suter I spent three months in Auckland, New Zealand. It was a unique experience with interesting encounters. ESL made it possible, with the Crown school right in the heart of the action of Auckland. The open-minded and helpful teachers of the Cambridge Advanced challenged me where it was necessary and they were very motivating and good humoured. The stunning nature of the country, the culture of the Maoris, the openness of the natives and the friendly contact between newcomers from throughout the world, managed to bestow me with an unforgettable time...an experience for life, that is definitely recommendable!
