"A fun experience with very efficient ways of teaching."

Daniel Palmgren

In general I really liked the experience. The location of BICC is really good and the teachers are nice and friendly. The group classes and the individual classes were very good and the teachers were flexible. However, the teachers English skill was not the best so it was sometimes hard to understand what was being taught. However, as a whole it was a great efficient and useful experience.

"Being taught by teachers that know how to teach and care about my progress made for a great experience."

Nathan Smith

First off, the administration staff were very friendly and always remained accommodating. Thank you so much for this. The teachers knew exactly how to teach according to my level and continued to push me. The schools classrooms and restrooms are kept clean. Although I didn’t partake in any of the extra cultural activities, I appreciated that these activities, such as calligraphy, were offered.

In all, it was a pleasurable experience.
