"Opportunity to grow in all aspects, friends, happiness, improving"

Sofia Calandriello, student from Italy

It was an experience that shaped me, helped me grow and understand many things. My English has improved a lot and I have lots of new friends. The structure was excellent, there were all the services: telephone sockets, always clean bathrooms, dining areas, study areas, play areas.
The only thing I didn't like at all were the activities, which it wasn't specified that they were excluded from the price or that they were in the afternoon. Despite this, even these were a great opportunity to make new friends and make new experiences.

"My best choice ever!"

Luis Fernando Zapién Villaseñor

I miss every day my dear CES School. It was for sure my greatest experience in a foreign country. There I could make lots of friends from many countries. When I arrived there my English was very poor in grammar and vocabulary, I was afraid when I was asked on the street about any address; slowly I gained confidence and some fluency. Definitely I would recommend this amazing school.
I loved every single moment!

"I was expected more quality of teaching"

Yazmin Pascual Domínguez

I liked the classes during the first 4 weeks with teacher Margaret the classes was Challenging, she was very good at explaining and she made sure we learn.

The next weeks really were a bit disappointing. I liked the location, it is a very central place, it has good facilities, I like that they organize integration activities with the students. I didn't like that most of the time the classes seemed improvised

"It was interesting, easy and effective!"

Guldzhamal Esenalieva

I liked the convenient location of the school in the city center, next to the metro station.

Classes, training, schedule - everything was organized very conveniently.

The teachers were all attentive, polite, friendly and professional.
Unfortunately, I was able to study at school for only three weeks, then the school was closed for quarantine and classes were conducted online. But they were organized very quickly and we did not waste our time.

I also liked the online training, it was interesting and productive. The teachers at the CES school are all attentive, friendly and open.
The level of my English language improved greatly, I stopped being afraid, I felt free and enjoyed communicating with the teacher and classmates.

Thank you CES school!

"It was amazing."

YAM PETTERSON HOLLIDAY GOMES

Everything was amazing. I was in +30 class and I've met very interesting people from so different spot around the word. I had two different teachers and both of them were very friendly and interesting. They've gave me a lots of acknowledgement about culture and life style.
