Show details » Read more...My Personal experience was very amazing.
The school give to me the opportunity to learn and improve my English with a professional and dedicated staff that support me all moments and in all the situation that I need help during my stay in UK. I appreciate their methods with a great Teacher
My classroom was composed with a kind of people for different nationality that encourage me to socialize with a diversity of culture, habits and personality.
The social programs of school with Smile Adventure allowed me to increase my knowledge about the English places and culture and overall a opportunity to practice my English in several situations.
My accommodation in homestay was fundamental to adapt and learn about the life on Manchester.
Was a beautiful experience that I want to live again soon
Being in Kaplan International College was the worst experience that I ever had. A lot of my friends ask me about the college and what I told them was they are only looking for your money.
Show details » Read more...My stay in Manchester was very interesting and I improved my english; but elective classes were really not useful.
Show details » Read more...My experience in Kaplan was very good. I liked most of the classes and most of the teachers. The location was very good, in the center of the city, and it was easy to get at it. The facility was very good too, modern and equipped with stuff we needed to study the language efficiently. The non-teaching staff was very kind and gentle. The activities were quite various and interesting. Finally, the family where I stayed was very nice. They always put me at ease and helped me to improve my English level.
Show details » Read more...My experience in Kaplan was amazing. I've learned a lot, met new people, and gained new knowledge. My classmates were very friendly, my teachers are very clever, they taught me how to understand new information easily. Thankfully the location of Kaplan is very clear and near to my residence, it only took me a 10 minute walk to get there. The activities were after class of course and I honestly did not participate in any of them.
Show details » Read more...It's good to learn English in this kind of groups and with so helpful teachers. But it's only effective if course time is more then 1 month but not only two weeks. For two weeks intensive course it should be more intensive!
Show details » Read more...As a whole it is good, for the first time. It would be desirable. Only that the course on these has been made 2 weeks for us. And it turned out that the Arabian and Korean students, their course was 1 year.
Show details » Read more...All very good. Two week is very little.
Show details » Read more...Everything was OK: dynamic and interesting lessons, every classroom complete with interective screen and an access to the internet during class, very friendly and sociable host.
Show details » Read more...It is not productive to have 2 weeks course, because it is not adapted to this
Show details » Read more...I liked classes very much, Gemma the teacher was great. I have never seen such advanced facilities before, especially electronic whiteboard. Kaplan school is located in the center of Manchester. It is easy to get to the school by bus. I lived in typical british house with woman (she was around 55) and her 2 sons it was also nice. Ther are two things in Manchester which were unforgettable: architecture and MU football club.
Show details » Read more...I liked the teachers and the education system. But two weeks is very little time to evaluate the effectiveness of training. Did not like the distance of my place of residence from the school, the indifference of school staff, and weak social program.
Show details » Read more...Classes were interesting. But the training program isn't adapted for short term.The main emphasis is on grammar.
Show details » Read more...In general everything was fine. I had two very good teachers Jane and Sara. Their lessons were well-prepared and interesting. My home lady, Eve, was great, and I had a lot of progress in English speaking to her.
Show details » Read more...Interesting Teachers. Not very good housing. No clear targets for the course.
Show details » Read more...My teacher was excellent - John.
Show details » Read more...Школа хорошего уровня, но 2-х недель недостаточно для погружения в изучение английского языка.
Show details » Read more...This school is oriented for long time education (longer 6 months). I received more experience in English skills from homestay.The biggest positive effect for me was breaking speaking barrier.
Show details » Read more...I think that a quantity of lessons must be more.A level of quality teachers teaching are very different.Some teachers have a low teaching level and speaks with an accent. It is a lottery which group and teacher you will have. But some teachers have a high teaching level.You can understand only a part of information when you have 2 weeks studying course with a group which studies course for 8 weeks.
Show details » Read more...I liked living in English family. It was fine.My classes were interesting. Maybe. It was a little bit stifling in the classrooms.
Show details » Read more...The course helped me to improve my speaking skills especially in the frames of active vocabulary extention, although the learning period was relatively short. Education facilities are excelent. Accomodation was warm and welcome, although it was quite cold in my room and heater was not effective.I think this school is a good combination of price and quality.
Show details » Read more...В целом процесс обучения оставил положительные впечатления, при наличии информации по размещению и условиям проживания заранее, я запросил бы другие варианты.
Show details » Read more...Все процессы на приемлемом уровне.
Show details » Read more...Мои пожелания связаны с формированием групп. Мой первый день обучения начался в группе, которая уже длительное время занималась. Мое обучение не имело логического начала и логического конца.
Show details » Read more...Most important was facilities to communicate with English speaking people within school and outside. Location of school is perfect. I visited different museums near downtown.
Show details » Read more...It was just a short period (2 weeks only) in Manchester at Kaplan College, but the less time you have the higher you worth your time. I tried to do my best for improving english language and I really feel more confident now. Classes & Teachers: I attended Advanced Class and I sincerely appreciate our teacher Julian Regan, who's lectures never were boring and from whom I received so much new information. Additional lectures (not obligated) and "TV watching and discussion" were also super informative and interesting. I have a good motivation for further english learning even it was only 2 weeks in Manchester.Location: the school has perfect location in city center but my way from house to school took a very long time. Facilities&housing : Except of long way fro my host's house to school I had very nice accommodation :cosy room and private bathroom. My hosts were very friendly Activities : i didn't participate in school social life and use my free time to learn about England and to travel
Show details » Read more...The family is friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend them as a good accommodation.It is unacceptable when classes have to sit in outdoors because of very cold condition.Rooms are too tight.Adam as a teacher is excellent but he has left Kaplan already. And finally, two week courses are nonsense at least in Kaplan. "Intensive" in the course name is just fake. There is nothing to be called intensive. You just study with normal students.
Show details » Read more...I liked workshops very much. There was no interactivity with students. Teachers did not correct our mistakes. Topics for study were boring, not interesting, is not applicable to life
Show details » Read more...You should improve individualization in all facilities. Please include guide in all social activities to see all the best sight-seeing.
Show details » Read more...I've had really good teacher, and I have positive impressions only thanks for him. To be honest school gives possibility to study English through different approaches - main classes, elective and conversation clubs. Good location, modern facilities. School's programm consist 10 week for each level - it isn't quite fit for short visit like ours. But constant communication makes it possible to improve English, including in host family. School asks feedback about conditions for living - it was fine for me their questions and the house and hostess where I was staying.
Show details » Read more...For me it was very important to break a barrier of speaking. I did it. Now I see the next steps for improvement: grammar and vocabulary.
Show details » Read more...I liked some teachers. The location of the school is perfect, right in the center of the Manchester. Easy to reach by any kind of transport. The process of study is a little bit spontaneous. I assessed the school with the grade 3 only because the way of study was oriented on long-term study, not on 2 weeks students.
Show details » Read more...If you want to improve your English you will be able to do it.Kaplan gives you a lot of possibilities to study: regular classes; special classes; study center...Also, you can use your weekends to explore UK: cities; towns; people; traditions...So you will have a good time.
Show details » Read more...Excellent teachers. I especially want to note Jeanniy Anderson. She knows the subject very good, is able to maintain high discipline in the classroom, always ready to help when questions arise. Phil - a good specialist, able to maintain high discipline in the classroom. Phil has always paid attention to the correct pronunciation. I think that asking for less homework. A lot of communicating with a host family. Many thanks to Mike.
Show details » Read more...Не нужно было ехать в Манчестер, чтобы на таком уровне преподавали английский язык. В России,по месту жительства, можно найти преподователей не хуже. Люди, которые приезжают на две, три недели не вписываются в программу школы в Манчестере. Другими словами у школы есть программа полугодовая или годовая, а для те кто приехал не меньший срок предоставленны, по сути, сами себе.
Show details » Read more...All about teaching was good. This course is meant for people who really study independently and everyone take knowledge as much as he wants.
Show details » Read more...A very interesting method of teaching. It was easy to assimilate the material. Specific negative aspects do not. Teacher Phill explain everything clearly and consistently. He did not leave the question unanswered. I wish they enable students to fully make use of the school by mail.
Show details » Read more...Thank you very much! Especially Martin & Fill
Show details » Read more...Я прошел данный курс в группе Elementary и мне понравилась методика обучения, которая основана не на заучивании правил и слов, а на общении в командах. Т.е. решая поставленную задачу (упражнение) тебе в любом случае приходиться говорить самому и слушать кого-то. Для столь короткого обучения, по моему мнению, это самый эффективный подход. Так же в продолжении данной методики хочу отметить целесообразность проживания именно в семьях, что также способствовало развитию разговорного навыка.
Show details » Read more...Ожидал большего от самой школы, учитилей и непосредственно обучения.
Show details » Read more...I very much liked my teacher Sara and excellent students from my group
Show details » Read more...Very short course. Two weeks is extremely few.Perfect teacher - Gemma. Very good technical enviroment in classes.Not very good food (all England). Very interesting and useful communication with students from many different countries. Housing is OK.For me it was some kind of time machine. I was a real student, including doing home tasks and student discounts in restaurant!
Show details » Read more...рассчитывал на интенсивный курс, получил то же что и со своим преподавателем в Москве (только стоимость разная). Комната для проживания 4 кв.м.
Show details » Read more...School location is very comfortable with modern facilities, quality of teaching is good, because I have known many interesting and useful information
Show details » Read more...Firstly, the housing was very bad, but the other side I have had a chance to change it immediately. And the second experience was successful. My host was really very hospitable and we had conversations on other topics. It's very useful to participate additional elective course and conversation club. And of course it depends on teacher.
Show details » Read more...I had a very bad teacher. No technique and no special program for the accelerated rate of learning English (2 weeks). No teaching materials (only the bad copy).
