The teachers were very good and the team was very helpful.
The housing was great.
I liked Rose's way of teaching because it was different and interesting! The location was perfect because it is in the center and it's near my aunt's home. Also, I liked activities like going to Edinburgh and Durham. All the staff and teachers were very polite and they all knew my name!

The subways are excellent, the city is very very beautiful and has good pubs -- mainly Latin night.
I don't like the taxis, because is very expensive in the period at night. I was in the house of my cousin in Jarrow. The climate in June and July is fantastic, nice of the Brazil.
I don't like the method classes with the teacher named Magda, because I believe that lessons should be more interactive.
Could have more trips in this period, because I was there just a month and there were few opportunities to visit other cities.
Small manageable group of students with maximum class size of 12. Very helpful and enthusiastic teachers. I was very impressed by the quality of teaching that I decided to book further 2 weeks of lessons. Good easy to reach location in town centre.
Some students were disruptive and were only there to perhaps pass time.
I met at your school plenty of very friendly people, it was basically a nice experience and I enjoyed the quality of the lessons. The team of teachers is great, they pay attention to every single student and I'm very thankful to them for everything I've learnt.
