The school is located on Hills Road in central Cambridge, close to local cafes and supermarkets. It is a 15-minute walk or a short bus ride into the main shopping area of the city. Cambridge is located less than an hour's train ride from London.
I really enjoyed the two weeks, I spent in Select English. The classes great! It was a good learning atmosphere and I liked the choice of topics we dealt with, especially the study and survey analysis we often did in the afternoon lessons. The seize of the classes is good too, with around 10 people it is easier to get involved in the classroom. The teachers were nice too.
Regarding the location, there is no need of critic, since most students house at the edge of Cambridge, so the central city as location is the best for the school. Otherwise some would have to drive very far...
But on my first day it took me some time until I found the small door, so maybe you could send new students a small map of the area around the school.
The activities were very nice too. But it would have been nice, if I had known the schedule of activities earlier, since I didn't stay as long as that I could have gone to London at the end of my two weeks.
The housing was great as well. My host was very easy-going and cooked dinner for me nearly every day.
Only lunch wasn't that good, because you had to buy something from the Tesco.
Everithing was OK but the house was disgusting. Uninhabitable, it was dirty as hell.

la scuola molto carina, forse bisognerebbe dedicare più tempo a spronare i ragazzi ad aumentare di livello.
per me era molto importante salire di livello, purtroppo in 6 settimane sono arrivato solo ad un B1.
Great experience for me meeting interesting people all over the world and improving my language skills
Show details » Read more...My personal experience of Select English Cambridge was very interesting because now I don't afraid of speaking anymore. The teachers were very good, particularly Richard. He was with us in the pub last Friday. The location of the school is in the center of city and it is very easy to arrive everyday to the school. The classes haven't too many people and each student has the possibility of participate to the lecture. I would like to have a on-line course for exercise now.

Everything was really great. Teachers were very friendly and caring. Unfortunately one teacher didn't meet my expectations. He didn't engage himself into lesson as i wished he will. Overall the location was great as well as facilities. I have nothing to complain about.

Our teacher Jessica (from Italy) was very good at teaching English language. I really enjoyed attending the course with her. I love the way she uses to make things easier for us to understand. Here i could make new friends, could get to know their culture and learned to be more social, in this language training center is where you can enjoy your time learning also everyone is friendly, kind and social. i really really recommend this place, you don't need to start from the scratch as you take a replacement test at your first day of arrival.
the housing was good. i could interact with the family and learn about the culture.
I love everything here, teachers, the center, the whole team, Cambridge, the location of the center. etc.

I was in Cambridge for a week in July. I had a really good week. I stayed in a guesthouse, where two others girls stayed. The hostess was very kind. Her home was a 35 minute walk to the school. I didn't mind to walk that long every day, so I didn't look for other options like bus or bike. I didn't know where I should go in the school, but there was a woman, who helped me. That made a good impression on me. I took a test and after that the lessons already started. I had really nice teachers. I liked the fact that they were very knowledgeable. The location of the school was fine it was near the center, my classes weren't in the main building. There were activities that you could join in with the group.

I studied English at Select English and achieved a reasonable IELTS score. I recommend the college if you would like to learn English with well trained academic staff in a friendly atmosphere. I genuinely enjoyed my time in the college, and got to meet different people with different nationalities and developed a good friendship with them.

I hated the English language before studying at Select English. When I arrived in Cambridge my level was bad but after a month I felt more confident with this language. Their teaching method is perfect. The lessons are interesting and fun. Studying is not difficult! Teachers are brilliant, the school is great and all activities are amazing.

Rich! You will learn thousands of different things a part of English. They are a family, lots of extra activities (sport, coffee's, pubs, travels to little towns or cities close to Cambridge) to meet people around the world, really useful to improve your English level.
It was so hard to say goodbye to all the people responsible for the good management of the school. It seems like they are enjoying doing their job, which it is really helpful to people who is a bit afraid of being in other country who knows nobody.
I was able to have a fluent conversation in a few months thanks to their method and the intensive schedule class.
Highly recommended, I really miss all of you guys!

I came to Cambridge in order to improve my English. Select English is the second school I attended and in my three months experience and I absolutely loved it! The classes were small and learning process was much easier. Teachers were prepared and kind. Every week they plan new social activities so that your experience is fun as well. Highly recommended!

It would be along the lines of the most amazing experience. I enjoyed every aspect of it. The teachers were tried their best to help each one to get further. Nobody did hesitate to ask if something was unclear. Also, the social program was a good opportunity to know other students & make friends.
All the staff were extremely helpful and approachable and have always been willing to discuss any concerns in a kind manner. Overall Select English was an amazing school.
Thank you so much for your review. We are glad you had such a good time with us and wish you all the best for the future. Come and visit next time you are in town?
