My experience was positive. I was in a small group of five people. We did what we wanted to do, which was to talk a lot. Our teachers combined vocabulary and grammar with conversation.
I also liked the social program
The school's is nice. Peterborough is a good guest house.
Excellent teaching, experience and change of scenery.we will recommend this school
Show details » Read more...Classes and teacher were good because this year there was more work in groups, so it was less boring than last year.
The location was very good, but this year the teacher was stricter when we were late. My host mother, on the other hand, was reassuring.
Concerning the activities, there were a lot of choices and I was satisfied but I would prefer that there were more seats on the bus going to the site for the activities.
I stayed in very nice hotel. The environment of the school was fine. The teachers were friendly and committed. I particularly liked the lessons with Kirsti. She recognized my problems in listening in English and trained me very well. I wasn't able to take part in the activities because I was there with my dog. The quality of the CDs was sometimes poor. I liked the fact that the number of students in the group was low. Other than that, everything was good and I am considering returning next year.

Our adult morning lessons (Standard Course) are structured lessons that follow a level-specific course book combined with a range of interactive supplementary materials, with the aim of improving grammar as well as the key skills of speaking, listening, reading, writing and pronunciation. Teachers negotiate weekly class content with students each week to determine what skill areas they wish to focus on, and use the feedback from this to help plan the week’s study. The Intensive course follows the same morning program but students will take part in afternoon conversation classes based around topical discussion. Focus is on improving fluency, as well as pronunciation, increasing vocabulary & error correction.
