"Yleisesti ottaen olen tyytyväinen opiskeluni järjestelyihin, ryhmään ja opettajien painokseen."

Reijo Heikkinen, student from Finland

Luokkien varusteet ja ilmastointi ok, katujen melua ei kuulunut kovin paljon.
Opettajien innostavuus oli parhaimmillaan alkuvaiheessa aamupäivällä ja loppuvaihe
essa iltapäivällä.
Koulun sijainti oli hyvä, sopiva etäisyys hotelliin jonka olin valinnut tällä perusteella.
Cafeteria toimii ihan hyvin.
Kotitehtävät olivat okei vaikka välillä osa jäi tekemättä.
Ymmärrettävästi viikon aikana ei sattunut yhtään oppituntien ulkopuolella pidettävää meetinkiä mutta se olisi ollut todella hieno juttu ja yllätys. Meidän ryhmässä oli minun lisäkseni aamupäivällä neljä kiinalaista, yksi japanilainen, yksi saksalainen ja yksi brasilialainen. Olisiko mahdollista saada ryhmään kuuluneen brasilialaisen arkkitehdin sähköpostiosoite? Unohdin kysyä sen häneltä vaikka näin oli keskenämme asiaa puhuttu. Olisin kiitollinen. Ellei menettely ole säännöksienne. Vastainen

"Perfect place to focus on developing foreign languages"

Eugeni Marozau, student from Poland

I had a good time there, appreciate my teacher’s work by sharing a cosy atmosphere during a day. In my opinion that is ideal type of education when you are practicing your language with the classmates so you develop faster and more productive.

"Very good school, very bad housing"

Mary, student from Italy

The teachers were very prepared and their lessons were always interesting. Unfortunately during the first week I was the only underage girl, while the rest of the class was made up by adults. I should have been advised before booking.

The location of the school is central and very simple to reach. The school is modern and well equipped. The activities were poor in comparison to those of other holidays abroad.

Chapter housing: awful. My host family didn't integrate me with their activities at all. The meals prepared were poor and always the same. It has been very bad for me and I don't recommend my host family to anyone. This experience is to forget for the future.

"It's a great way to remove the language barrier."

Andrei Lebedinschii, student from Russia

It was a great experience . The teachers taught and explained very well. The school location is convenient. School's staff were helpful and friendly . I didn't have any activities at school. The hostel location is convenient too. Host mother is friendly but bathroom and kitchen were so dirty. Price is excellent.

"Great experience for both the average person and professional"

Antonino Margagliotti, student from Italy

First of all, I apologize for the fact that I am writing in Italian.
I hope that's okay. My experience has been excellent in Pembroke.
I was very happy with all three of the teachers I had. Each of them have been very useful to me. The accommodation at the school was fine and all have proved to be friendly and attentive to my needs. I even received ​​a small gift for my birthday, which I celebrated in Pembroke ..
The lease for the accommodation was good and comfortable compared to the school.
I cannot think of anything negative or that did not go well.
Even if you do not have an opening for a new job, I will come back soon to continue what was a pleasant and useful experience for me.

"A relaxed way to learn about different teaching methods."

Claire Margaret Lubbers

I loved my visit and learning experience. The classes were well balanced with doing, listening and participating. Our teacher had a nice way of making learning fun. I learned a lot. The facilities were just what I expected, a school. I did not participate in any school activities because I just signed up for the English lessons. My housing (a hotel) near the school was perfect.

"Fantastic experience for improving my english and for meeting new friends."

Lucia Falaschini

I liked the staff (Liz and Nicole) for availability. The teachers were very professional and very nice. The location was easy to go and near the beach and the facilities.

I would have preferred some books to better follow the lessons, because with the single sheets it was more difficult.....
