English Now for Global Success Intensive (12 GE + 8 Global Success + 10 Special Focus Classes)

It was a so cool location. In the city of Cambridge, the architecture was wonderful. My teacher Oli was the best teacher. He made a lot of fun in the Class, and we made very cool staff. The Guys in my classes. They were very funny we learned together, that was very cool. The activities in Cambridge are very beautiful. The river "Cam" is cool you can ride by boat there and see all the universities. The kings college is a big building with a big garden outside. It is very nice. My apartment was cool. I had a single room with kitchen so cool myself. But the restaurants in Cambridge a very delicious.it was a wonderful experience to met so many people from different countries. They are so friendly and funny. I will do it again.

Location of the school was fine for me (even though the address changed from Guildhall Place to Burleigh Street)
Facilities were good too, Wi-Fi worked well. The speakers on the first day (introduction) were very clear and it was nice and easy to listen to them. The tour with the Portuguese girl was nice.

The group on the first day was not the best for me. I felt myself "too good" in this group. It was not possible to have any conversation with them.

I would like to have talked more, and not to study so much unimportant words, e.g. country names. I have studied them at school many times. Homework and exercises were mostly okay, but maybe they were too easy at the beginning.

The teacher was not the best possible for me - I'm not so interested in history of the buildings and buying Christmas cards and food for his family. There were too many breaks on the sight seeing tour too, just to rest and smoke - and I'm more interested in sports.

Some parts on the last two days were almost too difficult for me, e.g some preposition exercises. But mostly they were okay.

I feel that I didn't get enough speaking exercise - which was the original aim. But I got more self confidence anyway. I can manage alone abroad.

I found availability and kindness from everyone. The accommodation was perfect in terms of both residence and the family. When I had a little problem with my first family, it was immediately solved really carefully. The teachers and the system of teaching allowed me to increase my IELTS score from 6.5 to 7.5, with a peak in reading and writing where I got respectively 9 and 6.5, in just one month (with an important personal effort).

I have to thank everyone at EC School of Cambridge for this important result!

I don't have a lot of time to explain my great experience. The teachers are really excellent and the support team is really efficient in helping students. It's a nice school with nice teachers. The location is really good. We are near to the city centre and the facilities outside and inside (I'm talking about in the school) are very good. I think the most important thing for me is the quality of teaching. Of course classes, too. Inside everything is comfortable.

Excellent school location in the city center. I liked that the class had few students (5-6), and the teacher could give attention to everyone. I did not like that extra lessons (Intensive English) were taught to a mixed group where students had different levels of knowledge, and it was hard to me.

I liked the convenient location of the school and the opportunity to visit other cities in the weekend. I didn`t like that I lived in a separate house without any conveniences. The school does not have an individual approach to students.

I liked: - teachers - administrative staff - administrative staff attitude I did not like: - the time I spent was too short and I had not the chance to change the group I work with (my level was higher and some of the lessons were boring for me)

the size of class was good, two teachers were ok, one was horrible, teachers weren´t organized (should make a test but cd for listening wasn´t found; copies weren´t made...), what I learnd, I didn´t learn at school but being together with new friends after school.
the housing was ok, but I was booked to another family and 4 students just were to many in one tiny house. I wanted to stay in a english family to get in contact with the english way of life, but my host family wasn´t english at all.
It was o.k. but I don´t think that I can recommend it to friends.

The classes were very good, especially the ones that we did speaking, that I learned a lot. The teachers were very nice and friendly with us. The location for me was horrible because I was with a family that lives in the other side of the city, in Trumpington so, everyday I had a lot of problems to get to the school. The activities were also very good I had a lot of fun. The housefamily was fantastic! (but it was not boked by the school)

Overall, was a nice learning experience, but because I had only a week for my classes, and this week was part of a 3 months program, I felt that the classes were not customized to my needs.
I really enjoyed the classes with John Walker and Simon ...(sorry, but I don't remember the last name).

After 5 weeks in EC school Cambridge, I think there are very good think for a students but it miss very other.

I think a teacher are fine and they try to do them best, but a classes are very full, and unfortunatly a rooms are very small.

I think EC cambridge should have more teatchers.

I can to give you an exemple, I want to have a one to one classes and I paid , but in my first week I didn't have this one to one classes because there weren't enough teachers, it not serious, and anybody give me informations about what I paid and about what I lost ??? for that I try to find a solution.

I live in a Hills road residence, I had some problems in the first week ""a shower doesn't work in my singleroom!!"" but fortunatelly a people of the school find a solution and I could take my shower all days.

But seriously , I try before EC another school , and I think a quality of the lessons and a residence are better in EC.

Thank you

Every thing was good, teacher, classmates, my host Family was wonderful, I'll miss my host dog as well, that was in my room quite every morning to say me good morning. So, was a good experience for me. The EC team really knows what a student of foreign Language needs.
