"Unique"

Simona Lekic, student from Serbia

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!

"Studying at Newcastle International School of English was wonderful"

Paulo Vinicius Pessoa Galvão, student from Brazil

I liked the teacher Sonia, she was very helpful. I made many friends in the school, mainly the Libyans. The location is easy, near downtown.
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.

"Good place to learn English and prepare for IELTS exams."

Rabeya Begum, student from UK

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.

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from NIS. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 85 when you register.
