What our students say

The teachers are really friendly and I feel really comfortable here. I had 5 or 6 different teachers and they are really suitable for the course they teach. On General English Anilalways corrected my pronunciation and grammar mistakes. On IELTS Alex and Steve taught me how to face the IELTS exam and really helped me to get the IELTS score I needed.

I'd recommend ELC because it's a professional school, it's well-located and overall there is a good environment for studying.

The course has been very useful, practical, with clear aims and thought-provoking. The insight and content of the course were very focussed on the main issues of CLIL. The course was very well developed with clear insights into what CLIL is about.

My host family helps me with English and I will miss them a lot. I was worried before I arrived if they might not be friendly and if I could understand English but all is OK. Everyone I have met at home and in the town is very friendly.

I checked all the CLIL courses available and chose this one! Thanks for proving that I've made the right choice!.
