A posteriori, je me rends compte que pour préparer l'IELTS il est important d'avoir une bonne base avant de faire la préparation. Je suis satisfaite d'avoir commencé par revoir les bases (2 mois d'anglais intensif général et business) puis la prep IELTS. C'était vraiment la meilleure combinaison. Merci à tous les contacts IELTS qui m'ont suivi sans souci malgré la crise sanitaire!Bravo et je vous souhaite le meilleur.

Ich durfte einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt in London erleben. Die Stadt war gerade wegen der Corona-Pandemie für mich persönlich ein absolutes Highlight, eine einmalige Chance diese sonst so turbulente Stadt mit so wenig Touristen erleben zu können. Die Schule ist sehr zu empfehlen, unser Lehrer war jederzeit absolut gut vorbereitet und in so kleinen Gruppen war es sehr lehrreich und interessant. Infolge Corona war fast nichts im Angebot. in den ersten zwei Wochen gar nichts.

Gastmutter = Einzige Person im Haus (+ andere Student*innen). Habe mich dort sehr wohl und sicher gefühlt. Jeden Abend regen Austausch mit der Gastmutter gehabt. Sie gibt viele hilfreiche Informationen. Habe mich auch sicher gefühlt durch Sie. Also im Fall des Falles (wenn ich krank geworden wäre oder ähnliches) hätte sie mich sicherlich in allen Belangen unterstützt.

Personnel d'accueil et professeur gentil et prévenant. Le prof Johnny était à l'écoute de chacun avec tact par rapport à notre niveau d'anglais. Ça m'a donné l'envie de discuter en anglais avec les autres élèves. Bonne ambiance générale.Je suis contente d'avoir fait l'expérience. L'école leisceter est très bien située ce qui permet de visiter les musées et d'avoir des transports à proximité.Les sorties que l'école organise sont très sympa et facile d’accès (lieux de RDV) Oui je recommanderai l'école. Pour moi 2 semaines étaient trop courtes par rapport à mon level low intermédiaire. Beaucoup d'étudiants venaient pour 6 8 ou 10 semaines ça commence à faire un gros budget pour ma part. J'aurai aimé aussi avoir un cours de conversation seule avec un prof afin d'accélérer mon évolution en anglais. Mais je suis très contente dans l'ensemble. Bonne ambiance générale Je ne savais pas si avec mon option semi intensif j'avais droit à un heure de conversation one à one avec un prof. Je voulais vraiment progresserC'était peut être réservé à l'option intensive. Je n'ai pas réussi à obtenir une réponse, l'accueil m'a envoyé au deuxième étage salle des profs, j'y suis allée le prof était occupé avec une élève ensuite personne, après j'avais mes cours, et mon anglais un peu léger pour m'expliquer. J'espère y retourner avec un niveau un peu supérieur, bonne expérience.

« Les sorties qu'organisent l'école a très prix très intéressants.Je savais avec la brochure obtenue lors de l'inscription que l'on pouvait visiter mais on ne m'avait pas dit que l'école organisait des sorties sinon j'aurai prévue un budget plus conséquent et j'aurai fait plus de sorties. »
