School description

Structure of Eurocentres Success System
The innovative Eurocentres Success System has been developed over the last 60 years. Eurocentres is a leader in the field of foreign language training and is frequently consulted by the European Council on matters related to language development. Eurocentres is focused at all times on language learning success. Our longstanding experience has shown that the greatest progress is made when students are supported individually and given feedback regarding their strengths and weaknesses. In today’s heavily specialized world, we recognize that it is also important to focus attention on their specific personal, academic and business needs.

We know that in order for you to reach your goals, you need to have flexible choices and support from teachers and counselors in choosing your best options. The Eurocentres Success System was created as a result of our vast experience and dedication to excellence. It is based on a personalized and specialized approach. Our personalized approach provides individual attention and support. Our specialized approach allows you to focus on areas important to you.

"A fun experience"

Pietro Simonelli, student from Italy

I didn’t like the first class I had because the level of the class was too low but I liked the second class. One thing I didn't like so much was the fact that most people spoke to others in their own language, for example many spoke Spanish, even though the school required speak only in English. Melissa was a very good teacher and the location of the school was amazing, a great area in the middle of down town. Maybe the only "problem" of the school is in facilities, I know that is a little space but could be useful a little bar or a dispenser. I didn't follow activities of the school because I was in a family and I found other activities to do with them
